NOTE 1—THE COMPANY

Nature of Business

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

As of November 2, 2019, the Company operated a total of 70 RH Galleries and 39 RH outlet stores in 31 states, the District of Columbia and Canada, as well as 15 Waterworks showrooms throughout the United States and in the U.K., and had sourcing operations in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the Company’s records and, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, and revisions due to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard described in Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards, necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position as of November 2, 2019, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018. The Company’s current fiscal year, which consists of 52 weeks, ends on February 1, 2020 (“fiscal 2019”).

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

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 (the “2018 Form 10-K”). Certain prior year amounts have been adjusted to conform to the current period presentation due to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard. Refer to Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019 presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

Convertible Senior Notes

In September 2019, the Company issued in a private offering $350 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). In connection with the issuance of these notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions for which it paid an aggregate amount of $91.4 million. In connection with the issuance of the 2024 Notes, the Company sold warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, for which it received aggregate proceeds of approximately $50.2 million. Taken together, the Company received total cash proceeds of $304.1 million, net of discounts upon original issuance and offering costs of $4.8 million, from the issuance of the 2024 Notes and the related warrants.

During the adoption process of the new lease accounting standard (refer to Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards), the Company identified a lease agreement that was incorrectly accounted for as an impaired lease under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 420—Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations in fiscal 2017 and the first quarter of fiscal 2018. This error resulted in an overstatement of net income of $1.4 million and $0.9 million for the year ended

9

February 3, 2018 and the nine months ended November 3, 2018, respectively. This error also resulted in an overstatement of retained earnings as of February 3, 2018 of $1.4 million, from $152.4 million as reported to $151.0 million as revised, and as of November 3, 2018 of $2.3 million, from $245.9 million as reported to $243.6 million as revised, prior to the impact of the modified retrospective application of the new lease accounting standard as further discussed in Note 2. In addition, as of February 2, 2019, this error resulted in an understatement of other non-current obligations of $3.3 million, an overstatement of other current liabilities of $1.0 million and understatement of accumulated deficit of $2.3 million, from $376.8 million as reported to $379.1 million as revised. Although these errors are not considered to be material to any of the previously issued financial statements, the Company has revised the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements to reflect the correction of these errors.

In addition, during the adoption process of the new lease accounting standard, the Company identified an error in its previously reported consolidated statement of cash flows for the quarterly and annual periods in fiscal 2018. This error resulted in an understatement of $9.2 million of net cash provided by operating activities and an understatement of $9.2 million of net cash used in investing activities for each reporting period in fiscal 2018. There was no impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of income or the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit) related to this error. Although these errors are not considered to be material to any of the previously issued financial statements, the Company has revised the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements to reflect the correction of these errors.

The following are selected line items from the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows illustrating the effect of the corrections, prior to the adoption of the modified retrospective application of the new lease accounting standard (in thousands):

NOTE 2—RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Accounting for Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02—Leases, which requires a lessee to distinguish all leases as operating leases or finance leases and recognize all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset with a corresponding lease liability representing the present value of lease payments. The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost for operating leases, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. The lease cost for finance leases includes both principal and interest components, and is higher than the corresponding cash payment at the beginning of the lease term and declines over the lease term as the liability is reduced. In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-10—Codification Improvements to Topic 842 (Leases), and Accounting Standards Update 2018-11—Leases (Topic 842)—Targeted Improvements, which (i) narrows amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard, (ii) provides entities with an additional transition method to adopt the new

10

standard, and (iii) provides lessors with a practical expedient for separating components of a contract. Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Accounting Standards Update 2018-10 and Accounting Standards Update 2018-11 are collectively referred to as the “ASUs.”

The Company adopted the ASUs as of February 3, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. Under this adoption method, the results of prior comparative periods are presented with an adjustment to opening retained earnings of the earliest comparative period presented. In addition, the Company elected to adopt the package of transition practical expedients, which permitted the Company not to reassess its prior conclusions regarding lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company adopted the policy election to not separate lease and non-lease components for certain asset classes (such as real estate leases), as well as the short-term lease policy election offered under the ASUs whereby the Company does not recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or less. The Company did not apply the hindsight practical expedient upon adoption.

As a result of the adoption of the ASUs, the Company recorded an increase to the fiscal 2017 (earliest comparative period) opening retained earnings balance of $4.0 million, inclusive of the tax impact.

The following table presents the impact of adopting the ASUs, as well as the correction of an immaterial error as discussed in Note 1—The Company, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (in thousands):

Cloud Computing

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-15—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract, which amends Accounting Standards Update 2015-05—Customers Accounting for Fees in a Cloud Computing Agreement. The amendments in this ASU more closely align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects the new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Company will apply the standard prospectively.

NOTE 7—LEASES

Accounting Policy

The Company leases nearly all of its 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s sole discretion. In recognizing the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the Company utilizes the lease term for which it is reasonably certain to use the underlying asset, including consideration of options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company also leases certain equipment with lease terms generally ranging from three to seven years. The Company’s 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 the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company accounts for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for real estate leases, and for all other asset classes the Company accounts for the components separately. The Company determines the lease classification and begins 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 the Company takes possession or control of the asset.

As most of the Company’s leases do not include an implicit interest rate, the Company determines 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 the Company 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. The Company utilizes its asset based credit facility as the basis for determining the applicable IBR for each lease.

Certain of the Company’s 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, the Company does 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.

The Company has a small group of leases that include rental payments periodically adjusted for inflation (e.g., based on the consumer price index). The Company includes these variable payments in the initial measurement of the lease right-of-use asset and lease liability if such increases have a minimum rent escalation (e.g., floor). However, the

15

Company excludes these variable payments from the initial measurement of the lease right-of-use asset and lease liability in the case of lease arrangements that do not specify a minimum rent escalation.

The Company rents or subleases certain real estate to third parties under operating leases and recognizes rental income received on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which is recorded as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Lease arrangements may require the landlord to provide tenant allowances directly to the Company. 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 the Company 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 the Company has 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 the Company) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. After the leased asset is constructed and the lease commences, the Company reclassifies 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 the Company’s 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

The Company is sometimes involved in the construction of leased stores for certain of its newer Design Galleries. Prior to construction commencement, the Company evaluates whether or not it, as lessee, controls the asset being constructed and, depending on the extent to which it is involved, the Company may be the “deemed owner” of the leased asset for accounting purposes during the construction period.

If the Company is 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 the Company 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, the Company reclassifies 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 the Company is the “deemed owner” for accounting purposes, upon commencement of the construction project, it is required to capitalize (i) costs incurred by the Company 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 under build-to-suit lease transactions. 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 the Company’s cash outflows, nor do they impact net income within the consolidated statements of income.

16

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

If the Company is involved in a debt-like arrangement for a non-real estate asset under construction for which the Company plans to lease such asset upon construction completion and makes deposits during the construction period, the Company recognizes the related deposits as “Deposits on asset under construction” within other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 3—Prepaid Expense and Other Assets). In the event the Company executes promissory notes related to the deposits, such promissory notes are recorded as “Promissory note on asset under construction” within other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 5—Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities). The Company recognizes the constructive disbursements and receipts of such debt-like arrangements on a gross basis on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows within cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities, respectively.

Assets Held for Sale and Sale-Leaseback Transaction

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company committed to a plan to sell the Yountville Design Gallery, which resulted in a reclassification of such Gallery from property and equipment to asset held for sale on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of February 2, 2019. The Company performed an assessment and determined that based on management’s best estimate of the fair value of such Gallery as of February 2, 2019, it had an impairment of $8.5 million in fiscal 2018 in the RH Segment. During the three months ended November 2, 2019, the Company executed a sale-leaseback transaction for the Yountville Design Gallery for sales proceeds of $23.5 million, which qualified for sale-leaseback accounting in accordance with ASC 842. Concurrently with the sale, the Company entered into an operating leaseback arrangement with an initial lease term of 15 years and renewal options for up to an additional 30 years. The Company recognized a gain related to the execution of the sale transaction of $1.2 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019, which was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 8—CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

$350 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024

In September 2019, the Company issued in a private offering $350 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2024 ( the “2024 Notes”). The 2024 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2024 Notes will mature on September 15, 2024, unless earlier purchased by the Company or converted. The 2024 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2024 Notes will be subject to “special interest” in certain limited circumstances in the event of the failure of the Company to perform certain of its obligations under the indenture governing the 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Certain events are also considered “events of default” under the 2024 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2024 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2024 Notes.

19

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2024 Notes is 4.7304 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes, or a total of approximately 1.656 million shares for the total $350 million principal amount. This initial conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $211.40 per share, which represents a 25% premium to the $169.12 closing share price on the day the 2024 Notes were priced. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the 2024 Notes, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2024 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

Prior to June 15, 2024, the 2024 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2019, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the 5 consecutive business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. As of November 2, 2019, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2024 Notes were not convertible as of November 2, 2019. On and after June 15, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2024 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2024 Notes will be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. If the Company has not delivered a notice of its election of settlement method prior to the final conversion period it will be deemed to have elected combination settlement with a dollar amount per note to be received upon conversion of $1,000.

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

Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, in accounting for the issuance of the 2024 Notes, the Company separated the 2024 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2024 Notes. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 5.74% over the expected life of the 2024 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2024 Notes were comprised of discounts upon original issuance of $3.5 million and third party offering costs of $1.3 million. In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2024 Notes, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2024 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity (deficit). Discounts and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component are recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2024 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019 the Company recorded $0.1 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2024 Notes.

The carrying value of the 2024 Notes, excluding the discounts upon original issuance and third party offering costs, is as follows (in thousands):

The Company recorded interest expense of $1.8 million for the amortization of the debt discount related to the 2024 Notes during the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019.

2024 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2024 Notes and exercise of the overallotment option in September 2019, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby the Company has the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.656 million shares of its common stock at a price of approximately $211.40 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was approximately $91.4 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.656 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $338.24 per share, which represents a 100% premium to the $169.12 closing share price on the day the 2024 Notes were priced. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of approximately 3.3 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). The Company received approximately $50.2 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual earnings dilution from the conversion of the 2024 Notes until the Company’s common stock is above approximately $338.24 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $21.7 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2024 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $22.7 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

$335 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023

In June 2018, the Company issued in a private offering $300 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2023 and issued an additional $35 million principal amount in connection with the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of the offering (collectively, the “2023 Notes”). The 2023 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2023 Notes will mature on June 15, 2023, unless earlier purchased by the Company 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 the failure of the Company to perform certain of its 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 the Company or any of its 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 governing the 2023 Notes, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion

21

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 the Company’s common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the 5 consecutive business day period after any 10 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 the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. As of November 2, 2019, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2023 Notes were not convertible as of November 2, 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 the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. If the Company has not delivered a notice of its election of settlement method prior to the final conversion period it will be deemed to have elected combination settlement with a dollar amount per note to be received upon conversion of $1,000.

The Company may not redeem the 2023 Notes; however, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2023 Notes), holders may require the Company 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.

The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 6.35% over the expected life of the 2023 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2023 Notes were comprised of discounts upon original issuance of $1.7 million and third party offering costs of $4.6 million. In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2023 Notes, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the 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). Discounts and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component are recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2023 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During both the three months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, the Company recorded $0.2 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. During the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, the Company recorded $0.7 million and $0.3 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs, respectively.

2023 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2023 Notes and exercise of the overallotment option in June 2018, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby the Company has the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.730 million shares of its common stock at a price of approximately $193.65 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was approximately $91.9 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.730 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $309.84 per share. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). The Company received approximately $51.0 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual earnings dilution from the conversion of the 2023 Notes until the Company’s common stock is above approximately $309.84 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $22.3 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2023 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $22.5 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

$300 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

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

23

subordinated to the Guarantor’s obligations from time to time with respect to its credit agreement and ranks equal in right of payment with respect to Guarantor’s other obligations.

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

Prior to March 15, 2020, the 2020 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2015, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the 5 consecutive business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. As of November 2, 2019, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2020 Notes were not convertible as of November 2, 2019. On and after March 15, 2020, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2020 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2020 Notes will be settled, at the Company’s election, in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. If the Company has not delivered a notice of its election of settlement method prior to the final conversion period it will be deemed to have elected combination settlement with a dollar amount per note to be received upon conversion of $1,000.

The Company may not redeem the 2020 Notes; however, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the 2020 Notes), holders may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 2020 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, in accounting for the issuance of the 2020 Notes, the Company separated the 2020 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2020 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2020 Notes. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 6.47% over the expected life of the 2020 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2020 Notes were comprised of discounts upon original issuance of $3.8 million and third party offering costs of $2.3 million. In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2020 Notes, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2020 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity (deficit). Discounts and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component are recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2020 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During both the three months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, the Company recorded $0.3 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. During the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, the Company recorded $0.9 million and $0.8 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs, respectively.

The Company recorded interest expense of $4.6 million and $4.3 million for the amortization of the debt discount related to the 2020 Notes during the three months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense of $13.5 million and $12.7 million for the amortization of the debt discount related to the 2020 Notes during the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively.

2020 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2020 Notes in June 2015 and the exercise in full of the overallotment option in July 2015, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby the Company has the option to purchase a total of approximately 2.540 million shares of its common stock at a price of approximately $118.13 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was approximately $68.3 million. In addition, the Company sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 2.540 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $189.00 per share. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of approximately 5.1 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). The Company received approximately $30.4 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual earnings dilution from the conversion of the 2020 Notes until the Company’s common stock is above approximately $189.00 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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

$350 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019

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

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2019 Notes was 8.6143 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $116.09 per share. The conversion rate was subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but was not adjusted for any

accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the 2019 Notes, the Company would, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elected to convert its 2019 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

Prior to March 15, 2019, the 2019 Notes were convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2014, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the 5 consecutive business day period after any 10 consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2019 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. On and after March 15, 2019, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders could have converted all or a portion of their 2019 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, in accounting for the issuance of the 2019 Notes, the Company separated the 2019 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2019 Notes. The debt discount was amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 4.51% over the expected life of the 2019 Notes. The equity component was not remeasured as long as it continued to meet the conditions for equity classification.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2019 Notes were comprised of discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers of $4.4 million and third party offering costs of $1.0 million. In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2019 Notes, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component were amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2019 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity (deficit). Discounts, commissions payable to the initial purchasers and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component were recorded as a contra-liability and were presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2019 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company did not record amortization of debt issuance costs related to the 2019 Notes during the three months ended November 2, 2019. During the three months ended November 3, 2018, the Company recorded $0.2 million related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. During the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, the Company recorded $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to the amortization of debt issuance costs.

In June 2019, upon the maturity of the 2019 Notes, $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes were settled for $349.0 million in cash and 42 shares of common stock. As a result, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.0 million during the nine months ended November 2, 2019.

26

As of November 2, 2019, the 2019 Notes are no longer outstanding. As of February 2, 2019, the carrying value of the 2019 Notes, excluding the discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers and third party offering costs, was as follows (in thousands):

	February 2,
	2019
Liability component
Principal	$	350,000
Less: Debt discount		(5,854)
Net carrying amount	$	344,146
Equity component (1)	$	70,482

(1) Included in additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company did not record amortization of the debt discount related to the 2019 Notes during the three months ended November 2, 2019. The Company recorded interest expense of $3.8 million for the amortization of the debt discount related to the 2019 Notes during the three months ended November 3, 2018. The Company recorded interest expense of $5.9 million and $11.3 million for the amortization of the debt discount related to the 2019 Notes during the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively.

2019 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2019 Notes, the Company entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby the Company had the option to purchase a total of approximately 3.015 million shares of its common stock at a price of approximately $116.09 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was approximately $73.3 million. The convertible note hedge terminated upon the maturity date of the 2019 Notes. In addition, the Company sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 3.015 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $171.98 per share. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of approximately 6.0 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). The warrants will expire through December 2019. The Company received approximately $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 met certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges were, and warrants are, recorded in stockholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

During the three months ended November 2, 2019, the Company delivered approximately 54,000 shares upon exercise of the warrants under the terms of the warrant agreements. The warrant agreements expire on December 6, 2019 and the Company has delivered approximately 65,200 additional shares in the fourth quarter through December 4, 2019.

The Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $27.5 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2019 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $28.6 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The deferred tax liability and deferred tax assets were included in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There is 0 deferred tax asset or liability remaining as of November 2, 2019 due to the maturity of the 2019 Notes.

Asset Based Credit Facility & FILO Term Loan

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

On June 28, 2017, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into an eleventh amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among Restoration Hardware, Inc., Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., various subsidiaries of RH named therein as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “First Lien Administrative Agent”), which amended and restated the Original Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement has a revolving line of credit with initial availability of up to $600.0 million, of which $10.0 million is available to Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., and includes a $200.0 million accordion feature under which the revolving line of credit may be expanded by agreement of the parties from $600.0 million to up to $800.0 million if and to the extent the lenders, whether existing lenders or new lenders, agree to increase their credit commitments. In addition, the Credit Agreement established an $80.0 million last in, last out (“LILO”) term loan facility, which was repaid in full in June 2018. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of June 28, 2022. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit are subject to interest, at the borrowers’ option, at either the bank’s reference rate or London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (or, in the case of the revolving line of credit, the Bank of America “BA” Rate or the Canadian Prime Rate, as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement, for Canadian borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars or the United States Index Rate or LIBOR for Canadian borrowings denominated in United States dollars) plus an applicable margin rate, in each case.

On April 4, 2019, Restoration Hardware, Inc., entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment, among other things, (a) established a $120.0 million first in, last out (“FILO”) term loan facility, which amount was fully borrowed as of April 4, 2019 and which incurs interest at a rate that is 1.25% greater than the interest rate applicable to the revolving loans provided for under the Credit Agreement at any time, (b) provided for additional permitted indebtedness, as defined in the Credit Agreement, that the loan parties can incur, and (c) modified the borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement in certain circumstances. In October 2019, the Company repaid $30.0 million under the FILO term loan. As a result, $0.2 million of accelerated debt issuance costs were recorded within loss on extinguishment of debt—net in the three months ended November 2, 2019. As of November 2, 2019, the Company had $90.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the FILO term loan facility, which has a maturity date of June 28, 2022.

In addition, under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to meet specified financial ratios in order to undertake certain actions, and the Company may be required to maintain certain levels of excess availability or meet a specified consolidated fixed-charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”). Subject to certain exceptions, the trigger for the FCCR

28

occurs if the domestic availability under the revolving line of credit is less than the greater of (i) $40.0 million and (ii) 10% of the sum of (a) the lesser of (x) the aggregate revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement and (y) the aggregate revolving borrowing base, plus (b) the lesser of (x) the then outstanding amount of the FILO term loan or (y) the FILO term loan borrowing base. If the availability under the Credit Agreement is less than the foregoing amount, then Restoration Hardware, Inc. is required subject to certain exceptions to maintain an FCCR of at least 1 to one.

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

As of November 2, 2019, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility portion of the Credit Agreement and had $90.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the FILO term loan facility. The availability of credit at any given time under the Credit Agreement is limited by reference to a borrowing base formula based upon numerous factors, including the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable. As a result of the borrowing base formula, actual borrowing availability under the revolving line of credit could be less than the stated amount of the revolving line of credit (as reduced by the actual borrowings and outstanding letters of credit under the revolving line of credit). Under the terms of such provisions, the amount under the revolving line of credit borrowing base that could be available pursuant to the Credit Agreement as of November 2, 2019 was $345.5 million, net of $13.2 million in outstanding letters of credit.

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including, among others, required financial reporting, limitations on the ability to incur liens, make loans or other investments, incur additional debt, issue additional equity, merge or consolidate with or into another person, sell assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, or enter into transactions with affiliates, along with other restrictions and limitations typical to credit agreements of this type and size. As of November 2, 2019, Restoration Hardware, Inc. was in compliance with all applicable covenants of the Credit Agreement.

Second Lien Credit Agreement

On April 10, 2019, Restoration Hardware, Inc., entered into a credit agreement, dated as of April 9, 2019 and effective as of April 10, 2019 (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), among (i) Restoration Hardware, Inc., as lead borrower, (ii) the guarantors party thereto, (iii) the lenders party thereto, each of whom are funds and accounts managed or advised by either Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. and its affiliated investment managers or Apollo Capital Management, L.P. and its affiliated investment managers, as applicable, and (iv) BSP Agency, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Second Lien Administrative Agent”) with respect to a second lien term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $200.0 million with a maturity date of April 9, 2024 (the “Second Lien Term Loan”). The Second Lien Term Loan of $200.0 million was repaid in full on September 20, 2019. As a result of the repayment, the Company incurred a $6.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes a prepayment penalty of $4.0 million and acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $2.7 million.

The Second Lien Term Loan bore interest at an annual rate generally based on the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 6.50%. This rate is a floating rate that resets periodically based upon changes in LIBOR rates during the life of the Second Lien Term Loan. At the date of the initial borrowing, the rate was set at one-month LIBOR plus 6.50%.

Intercreditor Agreement

On April 10, 2019, in connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into an Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), dated as of April 9, 2019 and effective as of April 10, 2019, with the First Lien Administrative Agent and the Second Lien Administrative Agent. The Intercreditor Agreement established various customary inter-lender terms, including, without limitation, with respect to priority of liens,

29

permitted actions by each party, application of proceeds, exercise of remedies in case of default, releases of liens and certain limitations on the amendment of the Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Agreement without the consent of the other party. The Intercreditor Agreement was terminated upon repayment of the Second Lien Term Loan on September 20, 2019.

Equipment Loan Facility

On September 5, 2017, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into a Master Loan and Security Agreement with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC (“BAL”) pursuant to which BAL and the Company agreed that BAL would finance certain equipment of the Company 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 November 2, 2019, the Company had $58.7 million in aggregate amounts outstanding under the equipment security notes. The maturity dates of the equipment security notes vary, but generally have a maturity of three or four years. The Company is required to make monthly installment payments under the equipment security notes.

NOTE 10—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Certain financial assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value, 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.

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.

30

Fair Value Measurements—Recurring

Amounts reported as cash and equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of activity within these accounts. The estimated fair value and carrying value of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes were as follows (in thousands):

	November 2,				February 2,
	2019				2019
	Fair		Carrying		Fair		Carrying
	Value		Value (1)		Value		Value (1)
Convertible senior notes due 2019 (2)	$	—	$	—	$	334,756	$	344,146
Convertible senior notes due 2020		287,992		286,452		260,258		272,919
Convertible senior notes due 2023		271,208		266,026		230,684		253,689
Convertible senior notes due 2024		263,368		264,552		—		—

(1) Carrying value represents the principal amount less the equity component of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes classified in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and does not exclude the discounts upon original issuance, discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers and third party offering costs, as applicable.

(2) The 2019 Notes matured on June 15, 2019.

The fair value of each of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including the trading price of the Company’s convertible notes, when available, the Company’s stock price and interest rates based on similar debt issued by parties with credit ratings similar to the Company (Level 2).

Fair Value Measurements—Non-Recurring

The fair value of the Waterworks reporting unit as of February 2, 2019 was determined based on unobservable (Level 3) inputs and valuation techniques, as discussed in “Impairment” within Note 3—Significant Accounting Policies in the 2018 Form 10-K. The fair value of the asset held for sale as of February 2, 2019 was determined based on an appraisal prepared using unobservable (Level 3) inputs and valuation techniques.

NOTE 11—INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $8.4 million and $4.4 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively. The Company recorded income tax expense of $36.8 million and $14.5 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate was 13.7% and 18.0% for the three months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively. The effective tax rate was 19.5% and 11.8% for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended November 2, 2019 as compared to the three months November 3, 2018 is primarily due to higher discrete tax benefits related to net excess tax windfalls from stock-based compensation, whereas the increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 as compared to the nine months November 3, 2018 is primarily due to lower discrete tax benefits related to net excess tax windfalls from stock-based compensation.

As of November 2, 2019, the Company had $8.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $7.6 million would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate, if recognized. As of February 2, 2019, the Company had $8.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $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 November 2, 2019, the Company had $0.6 million of exposures related to unrecognized tax benefits that are expected to decrease in the next 12 months.

NOTE 13—SHARE REPURCHASES

Share Repurchase Program

On October 10, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $700.0 million, of which $250.0 million in share repurchases were completed in fiscal 2018. The $700.0 million authorization amount was replenished by the Board of Directors on March 25, 2019. The Company repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $115.36 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $250.0 million, during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 under this share repurchase program. The Company did not make any repurchases under this program during the three months ended August 3, 2019 or the three months ended November 2, 2019. As of November 2, 2019, there was $450.0 million remaining for future share repurchases under this program.

Share Repurchases Under Equity Plans

As of November 2, 2019 and February 2, 2019, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the notes payable for share repurchases was $18.7 million and $19.6 million, respectively, of which, as of November 2, 2019, $18.7 million were included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and, as of February 2, 2019, $0.9 million were included in other current liabilities and $18.7 million were included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During both the three months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, the Company recorded interest expense on the outstanding notes of $0.2 million. During both the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, the Company recorded interest expense on the outstanding notes of $0.7 million.

Of the $18.7 million and $19.6 million notes payable for share repurchases outstanding as of November 2, 2019 and February 2, 2019, respectively, $15.5 million was due to a current board member of the Company.

NOTE 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 income. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $5.1 million and $3.7 million during the three months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $16.1 million and $17.8 million during the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively. NaN stock-based compensation cost has been capitalized in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

2012 Stock Incentive Plan and 2012 Stock Option Plan

As of November 2, 2019, 7,309,386 options were outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $57.54 per share and 5,919,789 options were vested with a weighted-average exercise price of $53.00 per share. The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding, options vested or expected to vest, and options exercisable as of November 2, 2019 was $864.7 million, $831.9 million, and $727.2 million, respectively. Stock options exercisable as of November 2, 2019 had a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 4.38 years. As of November 2, 2019, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options was $36.3 million, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 3.34 years.

As of November 2, 2019, the Company had 227,094 restricted stock units outstanding with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $49.09 per share. During the three months ended November 2, 2019, 4,720 restricted stock units vested with a weighted-average grant date and vest date fair value of $62.01 per share. During the nine months ended November 2, 2019, 162,595 restricted stock units vested with a weighted-average grant date and vest date fair value of $56.91 per share. As of November 2, 2019, there was $6.7 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.71 years.

Rollover Units

In connection with the acquisition of Waterworks in May 2016, $1.5 million rollover units in the Waterworks subsidiary (the “Rollover Units”) were recorded as part of the transaction. The Rollover Units are subject to the terms of the Waterworks LLC agreement, including redemption rights at an amount equal to the greater of (i) the $1.5 million remitted as consideration in the business combination or (ii) an amount based on the percentage interest represented in the overall valuation of the Waterworks subsidiary (the “Appreciation Rights”). The Appreciation Rights are measured at fair value and are subject to fair value measurements during the expected life of the Rollover Units, with changes to fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the Appreciation Rights is determined based on an OPM. The Company did not record any expense related to the Appreciation Rights during both the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018. As of both November 2, 2019 and February 2, 2019, the liability associated with the Rollover Units and related Appreciation Rights was $1.5 million, which is included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Profit Interests

In connection with the acquisition of Waterworks in May 2016, profit interests units in the Waterworks subsidiary (the “Profit Interests”) were issued to certain Waterworks associates. The Profit Interests are measured at their grant date fair value and expensed on a straight-line basis over their expected life, or five years. The Profit Interests are subject to fair value measurements during their expected life, with changes to fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the Profit Interests is determined based on an OPM. For both the three months

33

ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, the Company recorded $0.1 million related to the Profit Interests, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income. For both the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, the Company recorded $0.3 million related to the Profit Interests. As of November 2, 2019 and February 2, 2019, the liability associated with the Profit Interests was $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, which is included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 15—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

The Company had 0 material off balance sheet commitments as of November 2, 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.

Securities Class Action

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

34

receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of November 2, 2019, which settlement resolved all of the claims that were or could have been brought in the action.

Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit

On April 24, 2018, purported Company shareholder David Magnani filed a purported shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court, Northern District of California, captioned Magnani v. Friedman et al. (No. 18-cv-02452). On June 29, 2018, Hosrof Izmirliyan filed a similar purported shareholder derivative complaint in the same forum, captioned Izmirliyan v. Friedman et al. (No. 18-cv-03930). On July 29, 2018, the court consolidated both derivative actions, and the consolidated action is captioned In re RH Shareholder Derivative Litigation. On August 24, 2018, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that names 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. On January 23, 2019, the court granted the motion to stay the case.

NOTE 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 November 2, 2019, the Company had 2 operating segments: RH Segment and Waterworks. The 2 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.

The Company’s 2 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 before interest expense—net, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt and income tax expense.

(2) The Waterworks reporting unit tradename is presented net of an impairment charge of $14.6 million recorded in fiscal 2018.

The Company uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Segment operating income excludes (i) asset impairments and change in useful lives, (ii) severance costs associated with reorganizations, (iii) product recall accruals and adjustments, (iv) asset held for sale gain, (v) legal settlements, net of legal expenses, (vi) non-cash amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment recorded in connection with the acquisition of Waterworks and (vii) costs associated with distribution center closures. These items are excluded from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of segment operating results. Accordingly, these items are not presented by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of our operations should be read together with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our 2018 Form 10-K.

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 and may relate to our financial condition, results of operations, normalized tax rate, free cash flow, growth, plans, capital expenditures, objectives, sources and uses of capital, future financing efforts through equity, debt or convertible debt or notes offerings, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “short-term,” “non-recurring,” “one-time,” “unusual,” “should,” “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risk and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions 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 are 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 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 Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 4, 2019 ( “First Quarter Form 10-Q”) and ended August 3, 2019 ( “Second Quarter Form 10-Q”), in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 (“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, Second Quarter Form 10-Q and in our 2018 Form 10-K. All forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements, as well as other cautionary statements. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report in the context of these risks and uncertainties.

We cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this quarterly report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

Overview

We are a leading luxury retailer in the home furnishings marketplace. Our curated and fully-integrated assortments are presented consistently across our sales channels in sophisticated and unique lifestyle settings that we believe are on par with world-class interior designers. We offer dominant merchandise assortments across a growing number of categories, including furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, décor, outdoor and garden, and child and teen furnishings. We position our Galleries as showrooms for our brand, while our Source Books and websites act as virtual extensions of our stores. 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.

38

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

As of November 2, 2019, we operated the following number of retail Galleries, outlets and showrooms:

RH
Design Galleries	21
Legacy Galleries	42
Modern Galleries	2
Baby & Child Galleries	5
Total RH Galleries	70
Outlets	39
Waterworks Showrooms	15

As of November 2, 2019, seven of our RH Design Galleries include an integrated RH Hospitality experience and we plan to incorporate hospitality, including cafés, wine vaults and barista bars in most of the new Galleries that we open in the future.

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 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, which we have experienced with some of our recent projects.

We opened our Portland Design Gallery in March 2018, our Nashville Design Gallery in June 2018, our New York Design Gallery and our Yountville Design Gallery in September 2018, and our Minneapolis Design Gallery in September 2019. Our Galleries in Nashville, New York, Yountville and Minneapolis 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 have approximately 38,000 leased selling square feet inclusive of our integrated hospitality experience. This prototype will present 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 most of our future Design Galleries in the United States and Canada. Our most

39

recently opened Design Gallery in Minneapolis is a prototype Design Gallery, and upcoming prototype locations include 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. RH New York, our largest and most important new Gallery, continues to generate revenues that exceed initial expectations.

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 in most instances within two years or less. 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 potential in the United States and Canada.

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 Minneapolis, using this new model, and have additional projects in the pipeline. In the case of Yountville and Minneapolis, we have completed or 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

40

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 interior design services;

● 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 fiscal 2019 we 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 RH Beach House in the Spring and RH Ski House in the Fall.

We also plan to increase our investment in RH Interior Design 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 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. Seven of our RH Design Galleries include an integrated RH Hospitality experience, including our Yountville Gallery.

● 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 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 year as opposed to the peaks and 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.

42

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 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 2017, fiscal 2018 and continuing into fiscal 2019, we have focused on the allocation of capital. We believe that our operations and current initiatives are providing a significant opportunity to optimize the allocation of capital in our business, including generating free cash flow and optimizing our balance sheet, as well as deploying capital to repay debt and repurchase shares of our common stock, which we believe creates a long-term benefit to our 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, 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 using a range of different models for specific real estate development projects. Many of these initiatives and other initiatives such as our transition to a direct sourcing model for our rug business have improved our operating margins, but other initiatives such as RH Hospitality and RH Guesthouse are expected to offset some planned margin improvement next year due to our investments in those platforms. There can be no assurance as to the timing and extent of the operational benefits and financial contributions of these strategic efforts. In addition, our pursuit of multiple initiatives with respect to our business in any given period may result in period-to-period changes in, and increased fluctuation in, our results of operations. 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. We also have experienced delays in development timelines for some of our recent projects, and delays in completion of our real estate development projects or costs overruns could negatively affect our results of operation and revenues. Further, macroeconomic or political events outside of our control could impact our ability to pursue our initiatives or the success of such initiatives. For example, while we believe that the tariffs imposed to date on most of our goods sourced from China have not had an adverse effect on our results of operations, including our revenues, margins and earnings, there can be no assurance that the existing tariffs and the additional tariffs that will become effective, as well as other future tariffs that may be imposed, will not adversely affect our results of operation in future time periods. 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 is geared toward the higher end of the home furnishings market. The above factors and other current and future operational initiatives may create additional uncertainty with respect to our consolidated net revenues and profit in the near term.

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

(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”), for the $300 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June and July 2015 (the “2020 Notes”), for the $335 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in June 2018 (the “2023 Notes”) and for the $350 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes that were issued in September 2019 (the “2024 Notes”), we separated the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes into liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components and we are amortizing as debt discount an amount equal to the fair value of the equity components as interest expense on the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes over their expected lives. The equity components represent the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes and the fair value of the liability components of the 2019 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes, respectively. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of $0.9 million and $0.7 million during the three months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively. Amounts are presented net of interest capitalized for capital projects of $2.3 million and $2.1 million during the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively. The 2019 Notes matured on June 15, 2019 and did not impact amortization of debt discount post-maturity.

(b) The adjustment in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 includes $4.9 million of accelerated depreciation expense due to a change in the estimated useful lives of certain assets in the nine months ended November 2, 2019, as well as a $0.5 million charge related to the termination of a service agreement associated with such assets. In addition, the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019 include asset impairments of $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

45

(c) The three and nine months ended November 2, 2019 include a $6.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the second lien term loan which was repaid in full in September 2019, as well as the acceleration of $0.2 million of debt issuance costs related to early repayment of a portion of the FILO term loan. The nine months ended November 2, 2019 also includes a $1.0 million gain on extinguishment of debt upon the maturity and settlement of the 2019 Notes in June 2019. The nine months ended November 3, 2018 represents a loss on extinguishment of debt related to the LILO term loan, the promissory note secured by our aircraft and the equipment security notes, all of which were repaid in June 2018.

(d) Represents severance costs and related taxes associated with reorganizations.

(e) Represents adjustments to net revenues, cost of goods sold and inventory charges associated with product recalls, as well as accrual adjustments, and vendor and insurance claims. The recall adjustments had the following effect on our income before taxes:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

Impact on income before income taxes	$	(2,053)	$	3,986	$	(3,988)	$	2,668

(f) Represents the net gain on real estate related to asset held for sale and other land sales.

(g) Represents legal settlements, net of related legal expenses.

(h) Represents an additional lease related charge due to the remeasurement of the lease loss liability for RH Contemporary Art resulting from an update to both the timing and the amount of future estimated lease related cash inflows.

(i) Represents disposals of inventory and property and equipment, lease related charges, inventory transfer costs and other costs associated with distribution center closures.

(j) Represents the non-cash amortization of the inventory fair value adjustment recorded in connection with our acquisition of Waterworks.

(k) The adjustment for the three months ended November 2, 2019 represents the tax effect of the adjusted items based on our effective tax rate of 13.7%. The adjustment for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 is based on an adjusted tax rate of 18.6%, which is calculated using a 21% normalized tax rate for the three months ended May 4, 2019 and the three months ended August 3, 2019, and the effective tax rate of 13.7% for the three months ended November 2, 2019. The three and nine months ended November 3, 2018 assume a normalized tax rate of 21%.

(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 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.

Net revenues

Consolidated net revenues increased $41.0 million, or 6.4%, to $677.5 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $636.6 million in the three months ended November 3, 2018.

Consolidated net revenues for the three months ended November 2, 2019 were positively impacted by $0.8 million and for the three months ended November 3, 2018 were negatively impacted by $1.9 million, in each case related to product recalls. Excluding the product recall adjustments, consolidated net revenues increased $38.2 million, or 6.0%, to $676.7 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $638.5 million in the three months ended November 3, 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 $41.1 million, or 6.8%, to $645.4 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $604.3 million in the three months ended November 3, 2018. The below discussion highlights several significant factors that resulted in increased RH Segment net revenues, which are listed in order of magnitude.

49

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, Minneapolis and Yountville. Net revenues also increased from our Contract business and Hospitality operations.

RH Segment outlet sales increased $13.5 million to $60.7 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $47.2 million in the three months ended November 3, 2018 primarily due to increased promotional activity as a result of our efforts to reduce inventory subsequent to the distribution center closure of as part of the distribution center network redesign, as well as an increase of two outlet locations year over year.

RH Segment net revenues for the three months ended November 2, 2019 were positively impacted by $0.8 million and for the three months ended November 3, 2018 were negatively impacted by $1.9 million, in each case related to product recalls.

Waterworks net revenues

Waterworks net revenues decreased $0.1 million, or 0.3%, to $32.1 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $32.2 million in the three months ended November 3, 2018.

Gross profit

Consolidated gross profit increased $34.1 million, or 13.7%, to $284.2 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 from $250.0 million in the three months ended November 3, 2018. As a percentage of net revenues, consolidated gross margin increased 2.6% to 41.9% of net revenues in the three months ended November 2, 2019 from 39.3% of net revenues in the three months ended November 3, 2018.

RH Segment gross profit for the three months ended November 2, 2019 was favorably impacted by $1.8 million related to product recall adjustments. RH Segment gross profit for the three months ended November 3, 2018 was negatively impacted by $3.7 million related to the reduction of revenue, incremental costs and inventory costs associated with product recalls and was negatively impacted by $1.5 million related to costs associated with distribution center closure.

Excluding the product recall adjustments and costs associated with the distribution center closure mentioned above, consolidated gross margin would have increased 1.7% to 41.7% of net revenues in the three months ended November 2, 2019 from 40.0% of net revenues in the three months ended November 3, 2018.

RH Segment gross profit

RH Segment gross profit increased $34.3 million, or 14.5%, to $270.7 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 from $236.4 million in the three months ended November 3, 2018. As a percentage of net revenues, RH Segment gross margin increased 2.8% to 41.9% of net revenues in the three months ended November 2, 2019 from 39.1% of net revenues in the three months ended November 3, 2018.

Excluding the product recall adjustments and costs associated with the distribution center closure mentioned above, RH Segment gross margin would have increased 1.9% to 41.7% of net revenues in the three months ended November 2, 2019 from 39.8% of net revenues in the three months ended November 3, 2018. The increase was primarily related to improvements in our 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 closure.

Waterworks gross profit

Waterworks gross profit decreased $0.1 million, or 1.1%, to $13.4 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 from $13.6 million in the three months ended November 3, 2018. As a percentage of net revenues, Waterworks

50

gross margin decreased 0.4% to 41.8% of net revenues in the three months ended November 2, 2019 from 42.2% of net revenues in the three months ended November 3, 2018.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $12.9 million, or 6.2%, to $194.9 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $207.8 million in the three months ended November 3, 2018.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $12.1 million, or 6.2%, to $182.3 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 compared $194.4 million in the three months ended November 3, 2018.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 2, 2019 included reorganization related costs of $1.1 million and asset impairments of $1.0 million, partially offset by gain on asset held for sale of $1.5 million and $0.3 million related to product recalls.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 3, 2018 included a $7.6 million charge related to reorganizations primarily due to streamlining and realigning our home office operations, $3.4 million related to a remeasurement of the RH Contemporary Art lease loss liability, $2.4 million related to costs associated with a distribution center closure and $0.3 million related to product recalls.

Excluding the adjustments for the reorganizations, asset impairments, gain on asset held for sale, remeasurement of the RH Contemporary Art lease loss liability, costs associated with distribution center closures and product recalls mentioned above, RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses were 28.2% and 29.8% of net revenues for the three months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by a decrease in preopening expenses and leverage in other corporate expenses.

Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses

Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million, or 5.6%, to $12.6 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $13.4 million in the three months ended November 3, 2018.

Loss on extinguishment of debt—net

We incurred a $6.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended November 2, 2019 primarily due to the repayment in full of the Second Lien Term Loan (as defined below) in September 2019, which resulted in a prepayment penalty of $4.0 million and acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $2.7 million. Additionally, $0.2 million of accelerated debt issuance costs were recorded related to the early repayment of a portion of the FILO term loan in the three months ended November 2, 2019.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $8.4 million and $4.4 million in the three months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 13.7% and 18.0% for the three months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate is primarily due to higher discrete tax benefits related to net excess tax windfalls from stock-based compensation in the three months ended November 2, 2019 as compared to the three months ended November 3, 2018.

Net revenues

Consolidated net revenues increased $147.7 million, or 8.1%, to $1,982.5 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $1,834.8 million in the nine months ended November 3, 2018.

Consolidated net revenues for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 were positively impacted by $0.4 million and for the nine months ended November 3, 2018 were negatively impacted by $3.8 million related to product recalls. Excluding the product recall adjustments, consolidated net revenues increased $143.5 million, or 7.8%, to $1,982.1 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $1,838.6 million in the nine months ended November 3, 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 $143.5 million, or 8.3%, to $1,881.4 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $1,737.9 million in the nine months ended November 3, 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, Yountville and Minneapolis. Net revenues also increased from our Hospitality operations and Contract business.

RH Segment outlet sales increased $41.9 million to $170.2 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $128.3 million in the nine months ended November 3, 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 two outlet locations year over year.

RH Segment net revenues for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 were positively impacted by $0.4 million and for the nine months ended November 3, 2018 were negatively impacted by $3.8 million related to the reduction of revenue associated with product recalls.

Waterworks net revenues

Waterworks net revenues increased $4.2 million, or 4.4%, to $101.0 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $96.8 million in the nine months ended November 3, 2018.

Gross profit

Consolidated gross profit increased $84.2 million, or 11.6%, to $811.9 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 from $727.7 million in the nine months ended November 3, 2018. As a percentage of net revenues, consolidated gross margin increased 1.3% to 41.0% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 from 39.7% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 3, 2018.

RH Segment gross profit for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 was negatively impacted by $4.9 million related to the acceleration of depreciation due to a change in the estimated useful lives of certain assets and was positively impacted by $3.8 million related to product recalls. RH Segment gross profit for the nine months ended November 3, 2018 was negatively impacted by $2.0 million related to the reduction of revenue, incremental costs and inventory charges associated with product recalls, partially offset by insurance reimbursements associated with product recalls, and gross profit was also negatively impacted by $1.5 million related to costs associated with a distribution center closure.

53

Waterworks gross profit for the nine months ended November 3, 2018 was negatively impacted by $0.4 million of amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment recorded in connection with the acquisition.

Excluding the acceleration of depreciation, product recall adjustments, costs associated with a distribution center closure and impact of the amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment mentioned above, consolidated gross margin would have increased 1.2% to 41.0% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 from 39.8% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 3, 2018.

RH Segment gross profit

RH Segment gross profit increased $81.5 million, or 11.9%, to $769.1 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 from $687.6 million in the nine months ended November 3, 2018. As a percentage of net revenues, RH Segment gross margin increased 1.3% to 40.9% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 from 39.6% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 3, 2018.

Excluding the acceleration of depreciation, product recall and costs associated with a distribution center closure adjustments mentioned above, RH Segment gross margin would have increased 1.3% to 41.0% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 from 39.7% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 3, 2018. The increase was primarily related to improvements in our 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 closure.

Waterworks gross profit

Waterworks gross profit increased $2.8 million, or 6.9%, to $42.8 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 from $40.1 million in the nine months ended November 3, 2018. As a percentage of net revenues, Waterworks gross margin increased 1.0% to 42.4% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 from 41.4% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 3, 2018.

Excluding the impact of the amortization related to the inventory fair value adjustment mentioned above, Waterworks gross margin would have increased 0.6% to 42.4% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 from 41.8% of net revenues in the nine months ended November 3, 2018.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $5.4 million, or 1.0%, to $550.1 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $555.5 million in the nine months ended November 3, 2018.

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4.9 million, or 1.0%, to $510.1 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 compared $515.1 million in the nine months ended November 3, 2018.

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

RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended November 3, 2018 included a $9.3 million charge related to reorganizations, primarily due to streamlining and realigning our home office operations, as well as due to a distribution center closure, $3.4 million related to a remeasurement of the RH Contemporary Art lease loss liability, $1.6 million related to costs associated with a distribution center closure and $0.6 million related to product recalls, partially offset by a favorable $5.3 million legal settlement, net of related legal expenses.

54

Excluding the adjustments for the reorganizations, remeasurement of the RH Contemporary Art lease loss liability, distribution center closure, asset impairments, product recalls, gain on asset held for sale and legal settlements mentioned above, RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses were 27.1% and 29.0% of net revenues for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 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 preopening and other corporate expenses.

Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses

Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million, or 1.2%, to $40.0 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $40.4 million in the nine months ended November 3, 2018. Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses were 39.6% and 41.8% of net revenues for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively.

Interest expense—net

Interest expense—net increased $18.9 million to $67.2 million for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $48.3 million for the nine months ended November 3, 2018. Interest expense—net consisted of the following:

Total interest expense—net	$	67,195	$	48,260

Loss on extinguishment of debt—net

We incurred a $5.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 primarily due to the repayment in full of the Second Lien Term Loan in September 2019, which resulted in a prepayment penalty of $4.0 million and acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $2.7 million. In addition, we recognized a $1.0 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 due to the maturity and settlement of the 2019 Notes in June 2019 and a $0.2 million loss due to accelerated debt issuance costs related to the early repayment of a portion of the FILO term loan. We incurred a $0.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the nine months ended November 3, 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 $36.8 million and $14.5 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 19.5% and 11.8% for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 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 months ended November 2, 2019 as compared to the nine months November 3, 2018, as well as a discrete tax impact related to the legal settlement in the nine months ended November 3, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The primary cash needs of our business have historically been for merchandise inventories, payroll, Source Books, store rent, capital expenditures associated with opening new stores and updating existing stores, as well as the development of our infrastructure and information technology. We seek out and evaluate opportunities for effectively managing and deploying capital in ways that improve working capital and support and enhance our business initiatives and strategies. In fiscal 2017, we completed two share repurchase programs in an aggregate amount of $1 billion. A $300 million share repurchase was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and a $700 million share repurchase was completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2017. In October 2018, our Board of Directors approved a new $700 million share repurchase program, of which $250 million in share repurchases were completed in fiscal 2018, and the $700 million authorization amount was replenished by the Board of Directors in March 2019. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $250 million, with $450 million still available under the $700 million repurchase program. Refer to “Share Repurchase Programs” below. We 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 $985 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes outstanding, of which $300 million mature in June 2020, $335 million mature in June 2023 and $350 million mature in September 2024. 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, June 2023 and September 2024 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 million, of which $10 million is available to Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., and includes a $200 million accordion feature under which the revolving line of credit may be expanded by agreement of the parties from $600 million to up to $800 million if and to the extent the lenders revise their credit commitments to encompass a larger facility. The revolving line of credit has a maturity date of June 28, 2022.

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 asset based credit 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.

We may pursue strategies in the future, through the use of existing assets and debt facilities, or through the pursuit of new external sources of liquidity and debt 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

56

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 Design Galleries, which may require us to undertake upgrades to historical buildings or construction of new buildings.

Our adjusted net capital expenditures include (i) capital expenditures from investing activities and (ii) cash outflows of capital related to construction activities to design and build landlord leased assets, net of tenant allowances received. We anticipate our adjusted net capital expenditures to be $150 million to $160 million in fiscal 2019, primarily related to our efforts to continue our growth and expansion, including construction of new Design Galleries and infrastructure investments. During the nine months ended November 2, 2019, adjusted net capital expenditures were $114.0 million, inclusive of cash received related to landlord tenant allowances of $22.0 million. Our fiscal 2019 adjusted net capital expenditures are partially offset by proceeds from sales of assets of $24.1 million.

Certain lease arrangements require the landlord to fund a portion of the construction related costs through payments directly to us. Other lease arrangements for our new Design Galleries require the landlord to fund a portion of the construction related costs directly to third parties, rather than through traditional construction allowances and accordingly, under these arrangements we do not expect to receive contributions directly from our landlords related to the building of our Design Galleries. As we develop new Galleries, as well as other potential strategic initiatives in the future like our integrated hospitality experience, we may explore other models for our real estate, which could include longer lease terms or further purchases of, or joint ventures or other forms of equity ownership in, real estate interests associated with new sites and buildings. These approaches might require greater capital investment on our part than a traditional store lease with a landlord. We also believe there is an opportunity to transition our real estate strategy from a leasing model to a development model, where we potentially buy and develop our Design Galleries then recoup the investments through a sale leaseback arrangement resulting in lower capital investment and lower rent. 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 $985 million at maturity of such senior convertible 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.

For the nine months ended November 2, 2019, net cash used in financing activities was $108.0 million. The $350.0 million 2019 Notes matured in June 2019, of which $278.6 million is presented within net cash used in financing activities and $70.5 million is reflected as non-cash accretion of debt discount upon settlement of debt presented in net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash used in financing activities included repurchases of approximately 2.2 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of $250.0 million, as well as net repayments of $57.5 million under the asset based credit facility. Net cash used in financing activities include borrowings under a $350.0 million convertible senior notes agreement issued in September 2019, which provided net proceeds of $304.1 million after taking into consideration the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, as well as discounts upon original issuance and offering costs. Borrowings under finance arrangements also include net borrowings under the FILO term loan (as defined below) of $90.0 million, $58.7 million of promissory notes secured by certain equipment, and $30.0 million related to a promissory note on an asset under construction.

For the nine months ended November 3, 2018, net cash used in financing activities was $39.9 million primarily due to net repayments of debt of $204.4 million under the asset based credit facility, LILO term loan, equipment loans and promissory note secured by our aircraft and $145.2 million of share repurchases made under the fiscal 2018 $700 million share repurchase program. The repayments of debt described above were partially funded by the $335 million convertible senior notes issued in June 2018, which provided net proceeds of $287.8 million after taking into consideration the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions, as well as discounts upon original issuance and offering costs. Equity related transactions provided $26.9 million due to $35.8 million of proceeds from exercise of employee stock options, partially offset by $8.9 million of cash paid for employee taxes related to net settlement of equity awards.

Convertible Senior Notes

$350 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024

In September 2019, we issued in a private offering $350 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”). The 2024 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2024 Notes will mature on September 15, 2024, unless earlier purchased by us or converted. The 2024 Notes will not bear interest, except that the 2024 Notes will be subject to “special interest” in certain limited circumstances in the event of our failure to perform certain of our obligations under the indenture governing the 2024 Notes. The 2024 Notes are unsecured obligations and do not contain any financial covenants or restrictions on the payments of dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries. Certain events are also considered “events of default” under the 2024 Notes, which may result in the acceleration of the maturity of the 2024 Notes, as described in the indenture governing the 2024 Notes.

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2024 Notes is 4.7304 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes, or a total of approximately 1.656 million shares for the total $350 million principal amount. The initial conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $211.40 per share, which represents a 25% premium to the $169.12 closing share price on the date the 2024 Notes were priced. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the 2024 Notes, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2024 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

Prior to June 15, 2024, the 2024 Notes will be convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2019, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar

59

quarter, the last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. As of November 2, 2019, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2024 Notes were not convertible as of November 2, 2019. On and after June 15, 2024, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2024 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, the 2024 Notes will be settled, at our election, in cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock.

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

Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, in accounting for the issuance of the 2024 Notes, we separated the 2024 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2024 Notes. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 5.74% over the expected life of the 2024 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2024 Notes were comprised of discounts upon original issuance of $3.5 million and third party offering costs of $1.3 million. In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2024 Notes, we allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2024 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity (deficit). Discounts and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component are recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2024 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2024 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2024 Notes and exercise of the overallotment option in September 2019, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby we have the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.656 million shares of our common stock at a price of approximately $211.40 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was approximately $91.4 million. In addition, we sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.656 million shares of our common stock at a price of $338.24 per share, which represents a 100% premium to the $169.12 closing share price on the date the 2024 Notes were priced. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of approximately 3.3 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). We received approximately $50.2 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants. Taken together, the purchase of the convertible note hedges and sale of the warrants are intended to offset any actual earnings dilution from the conversion of the 2024 Notes until our common stock is above approximately $338.24 per share. As these transactions meet certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges and warrants are recorded in stockholders’ equity, are not accounted for as derivatives and are not remeasured each reporting period. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We recorded a deferred tax liability of $21.7 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2024 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $22.7 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The

60

deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

$335 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023

In June 2018, we issued in a private offering $300 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2023 and issued an additional $35 million principal amount in connection with the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of the offering (collectively, the “2023 Notes”). The 2023 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between 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 governing the 2023 Notes, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its 2023 Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

Prior to March 15, 2023, the 2023 Notes 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 November 2, 2019, none of these conditions have occurred and, as a result, the 2023 Notes were not convertible as of November 2, 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 2023 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.

The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) will be amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 6.35% over the expected life of the 2023 Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.

Debt issuance costs related to the 2023 Notes were comprised of discounts upon original issuance of $1.7 million and third party offering costs of $4.6 million. In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2023 Notes, we allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values.

2023 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2023 Notes and the exercise of the overallotment option in June 2018, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby we have the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.730 million shares of our common stock at a price of approximately $193.65 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was approximately $91.9 million. In addition, we sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 1.730 million shares of our common stock at a price of $309.84 per share. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). We received approximately $51.0 million in cash proceeds from the sale of these warrants.

We recorded a deferred tax liability of $22.3 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2023 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $22.5 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset are recorded in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In June 2015, we issued in a private offering $250 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2020 and, in July 2015, we issued an additional $50 million principal amount pursuant to the exercise of the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of our June 2015 offering (collectively, the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between us and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee. The 2020 Notes will mature on July 15, 2020, unless earlier purchased by us or converted.

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

The initial conversion rate applicable to the 2020 Notes is 8.4656 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2020 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $118.13 per share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid special interest.

2020 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2020 Notes in June 2015 and the exercise in full of the overallotment option in July 2015, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby we have the option to purchase a total of approximately 2.540 million shares of our common stock at a price of approximately $118.13 per share. The total cost of the convertible note hedge transactions was approximately $68.3 million. In addition, we sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 2.540 million shares of our common stock at a price of $189.00 per share. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of approximately 5.1 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment).

$350 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019

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

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

Prior to March 15, 2019, the 2019 Notes were convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2014, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding 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 2019 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. On and after March 15, 2019, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders could have converted all or a portion of their 2019 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

In June 2019, upon the maturity of the 2019 Notes, $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes were settled for $349.0 million in cash and 42 shares of our common stock. As a result, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.0 million in the nine months ended November 2, 2019. As of November 2, 2019, the 2019 Notes are no longer outstanding.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), holders could have required us to purchase all or a portion of their 2019 Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2019 Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change purchase date.

Under GAAP, certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash on conversion are required to be separately accounted for as liability and equity components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. Accordingly, in accounting for the issuance of the 2019 Notes, we separated the 2019 Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component, which is recognized as a debt discount, represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the 2019 Notes and the fair value of the liability component of the 2019 Notes. The debt discount was amortized to interest expense using an effective interest rate of 4.51% over the expected life of the 2019 Notes. The equity component was not remeasured as long as it continued to meet the conditions for equity classification.

64

Debt issuance costs related to the 2019 Notes were comprised of discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers of $4.4 million and third party offering costs of $1.0 million. In accounting for the debt issuance costs related to the issuance of the 2019 Notes, we allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components based on their relative values. Debt issuance costs attributable to the liability component were amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the expected life of the 2019 Notes, and debt issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity (deficit). Discounts, commissions payable to the initial purchasers and third party offering costs attributable to the liability component were recorded as a contra-liability and were presented net against the convertible senior notes due 2019 balance on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

2019 Notes—Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions

In connection with the offering of the 2019 Notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions whereby we had the option to purchase a total of approximately 3.015 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 approximately $73.3 million. The convertible note hedge terminated upon the maturity date of the 2019 Notes. In addition, we sold warrants whereby the holders of the warrants have the option to purchase a total of approximately 3.015 million shares of our common stock at a price of $171.98 per share. The warrants contain certain adjustment mechanisms whereby the total number of shares to be purchased under such warrants may be increased up to a cap of approximately 6.0 million shares of common stock (which cap may also be subject to adjustment). The warrants will expire through December 2019. We received approximately $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 met certain accounting criteria, the convertible note hedges were, and warrants are, recorded in stockholders’ equity and are not accounted for as derivatives. The net costs incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

During the three months ended November 2, 2019, we delivered approximately 54,000 shares upon exercise of the warrants under the terms of the warrant agreements. The warrant agreements expire on December 6, 2019 and we have delivered approximately 65,200 additional shares in the fourth quarter through December 4, 2019.

We recorded a deferred tax liability of $27.5 million in connection with the debt discount associated with the 2019 Notes and recorded a deferred tax asset of $28.6 million in connection with the convertible note hedge transactions. The deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset were recorded in deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There is no deferred tax asset or liability remaining as of November 2, 2019 due to the maturity of the 2019 Notes.

Asset Based Credit Facility

In August 2011, Restoration Hardware, Inc., along with its Canadian subsidiary, Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other lenders (the “Original Credit Agreement”). On June 28, 2017, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into an eleventh amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among Restoration Hardware, Inc., Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., various subsidiaries of RH named therein as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (“First Lien Administrative Agent”), which amended and restated the Original Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement has a revolving line of credit with initial availability of up to $600.0 million, of which $10.0 million is available to Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., and includes a $200.0 million accordion feature under which the revolving line of credit may be expanded by agreement of the parties from $600.0 million to up to $800.0 million if and to the extent the lenders, whether existing lenders or new lenders, agree to increase their credit commitments. In addition, the Credit Agreement established an $80.0 million last in, last out (“LILO”) term loan facility which was repaid in full in June 2018. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of June 28, 2022.

On June 12, 2018, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment (i) changed the Credit Agreement’s definition of “Eligible In-Transit Inventory” to

65

clarify the requirements to be fulfilled by the borrowers with respect to such in-transit inventory, and (ii) clarified that no default or event of default was caused by any prior non-compliance with such requirements with respect to in-transit inventory. Eligible In-Transit Inventory consists of inventory being shipped from vendor locations outside of the United States. Qualifying in-transit inventory is included within the borrowing base for eligible collateral for purposes of determining the amount of borrowing available to borrowers under the Credit Agreement.

On November 23, 2018, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into a Consent and Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment included certain clarifying changes to, among other things: (a) address the processing of payments from insurance proceeds in connection with casualty or other insured losses with respect to property or assets of a Loan Party, and (b) add an additional category of permitted restricted payment to allow the lead borrower to make annual restricted payments of up to $3.0 million per fiscal year to cover payments of certain administrative and other obligations of RH in the ordinary course of business.

On April 4, 2019, Restoration Hardware, Inc., entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment, among other things, (a) established a $120.0 million first in, last out (“FILO”) term loan facility, which amount was fully borrowed as of April 4, 2019 and which incurs interest at a rate that is 1.25% greater than the interest rate applicable to the revolving loans under the Credit Agreement, (b) provided for additional Permitted Indebtedness, as defined in the Credit Agreement, that the loan parties can incur, and (c) modified the borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement in certain circumstances. In October 2019, Restoration Hardware, Inc. repaid $30.0 million under the FILO term loan. As a result, $0.2 million of accelerated debt issuance costs were recorded in interest expense—net in the three months ended November 2, 2019. As of November 2, 2019, there were $90.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the FILO term loan facility, which has a maturity date of June 28, 2022.

All obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, intangible assets, property, equipment, goods and fixtures of Restoration Hardware, Inc., Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., RH US, LLC, Waterworks Operating Co., LLC and Waterworks IP Co., LLC.

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

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

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

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

66

As of November 2, 2019, Restoration Hardware, Inc. had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility portion of the Credit Agreement and had $90.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the FILO term loan facility. The availability of credit at any given time under the Credit Agreement is limited by reference to a borrowing base formula based upon numerous factors, including the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable. As a result of the borrowing base formula, actual borrowing availability under the revolving line of credit could be less than the stated amount of the revolving line of credit (as reduced by the actual borrowings and outstanding letters of credit under the revolving line of credit). Under the terms of such provisions, the amount under the revolving line of credit borrowing base that could be available pursuant to the Credit Agreement as of November 2, 2019 was $345.5 million, net of $13.2 million in outstanding letters of credit.

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including, among others, required financial reporting, limitations on the ability to incur liens, make loans or other investments, incur additional debt, issue additional equity, merge or consolidate with or into another person, sell assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, or enter into transactions with affiliates, along with other restrictions and limitations typical to credit agreements of this type and size. As of November 2, 2019, Restoration Hardware, Inc. was in compliance with all applicable covenants of the Credit Agreement.

Second Lien Credit Agreement

On April 10, 2019, Restoration Hardware, Inc., entered into a credit agreement, dated as of April 9, 2019 and effective as of April 10, 2019 (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), among (i) Restoration Hardware, Inc., as lead borrower, (ii) the guarantors party thereto, (iii) the lenders party thereto, each of whom are funds and accounts managed or advised by either Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. and its affiliated investment managers or Apollo Capital Management, L.P. and its affiliated investment managers, as applicable, and (iv) BSP Agency, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Second Lien Administrative Agent”) with respect to a second lien term loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to $200.0 million with a maturity date of April 9, 2024 (the “Second Lien Term Loan”). The Second Lien Term Loan of $200.0 million was repaid in full on September 20, 2019. As a result of the repayment, we incurred a $6.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which includes a prepayment penalty of $4.0 million and acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $2.7 million.

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

Intercreditor Agreement

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

Equipment Loan Facility

On September 5, 2017, Restoration Hardware, Inc. entered into a Master Loan and Security Agreement with Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC (“BAL”) pursuant to which BAL and we agreed that BAL would finance certain equipment of ours from time to time, with each such equipment financing to be evidenced by an equipment security note setting forth the terms for each particular equipment loan. Each equipment loan is secured by a purchase money security interest in the financed equipment. As of November 2, 2019, we had $58.7 million in aggregate amounts outstanding under the equipment security notes, of which $21.7 million was included in other current liabilities and $37.0 million was included in other non-current obligations on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The maturity dates of the

67

equipment security notes vary, but generally have a maturity of three or four years. We are required to make monthly installment payments under the equipment security notes.

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 of Directors authorized a 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 of Directors authorized on May 2, 2017 an additional 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.

$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 $250.0 million. We did not make any repurchases under this program during the three months ended August 3, 2019 or the three months ended November 2, 2019. As of November 2, 2019, there was $450.0 million remaining for future share repurchases under this program.

68

Contractual Obligations

As of November 2, 2019, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Contractual Obligations in the 2018 Form 10-K.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no material off balance sheet arrangements as of November 2, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

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

● Revenue Recognition

● Merchandise Inventories

● Impairment

● Lease Accounting

● Stock-Based Compensation

● Income Taxes

In the first quarter of 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 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.

We 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

69

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.

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 variable payments in the initial measurement of the lease right-of-use asset and lease liability if such increases have a minimum rent escalation (e.g., floor). However, we exclude these variable payments from the initial measurement of the lease right-of-use asset and lease liability in the 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.

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

70

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.

If we are involved in a debt-like arrangement for a non-real estate asset under construction for which we plan to lease such asset upon construction completion and make deposits during the construction period, we recognize the related deposits as “Deposits on asset under construction” within other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 3—Prepaid Expense and Other Assets). In the event we execute promissory notes related to the deposits, such promissory notes are recorded as “Promissory note on asset under construction” within other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 5—Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities). We recognize the constructive disbursements and receipts of such debt-like arrangements on a gross basis on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows within cash flows from investing activities and cash flows from financing activities, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards in our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of recently proposed accounting standards 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 under the Credit Agreement which bears interest at variable rates and we may incur additional indebtedness that bears interest at variable rates. As of November 2, 2019, no amounts were outstanding under the revolving line of credit. The Credit Agreement provides for a borrowing amount based on the value of eligible collateral and a formula linked to certain borrowing percentages based on certain categories of collateral. Under the terms of such provisions, the amount under the revolving line of credit borrowing base that could be available pursuant to the Credit Agreement as of November 2, 2019 was $345.5 million, net of $13.2 million in outstanding letters of credit. Based on the average interest rate on the revolving line of credit during the three months ended November 2, 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.

71

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

As of November 2, 2019, 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 November 2, 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.

As of November 2, 2019, we had $350 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2024 outstanding (the “2024 Notes”). As this instrument does not bear interest, we do not have interest rate risk exposure related to this debt.

Market Price Sensitive Instruments

$350 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019

In connection with the issuance of the 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”), we entered into privately-negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with certain counterparties. The 2019 Notes matured on June 15, 2019, and the convertible note hedge terminated upon the maturity date of the 2019 Notes. We also entered into separate warrant transactions with the same group of counterparties initially relating to the number of shares of our common stock underlying the convertible note hedge transactions, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrants will expire through December 2019. To the extent they are exercised prior to expiration, 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. The strike price of the warrant transactions is initially $171.98 per share. Refer to Note 8—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended November 2, 2019, we delivered approximately 54,000 shares upon exercise of the warrants under the terms of the warrant agreements. The warrant agreements expire on December 6, 2019 and we have delivered approximately 65,200 additional shares in the fourth quarter through December 4, 2019.

$300 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

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.

$350 million 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024

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

We also entered into separate warrant transactions with the same group of counterparties initially relating to the number of shares of our common stock underlying the convertible note hedge transactions, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to our common stock to the extent that the price per share of our common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants unless we elect, subject to certain conditions, to settle the warrants in cash. The strike price of the warrant transactions is initially $338.24 per share. Refer to Note 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.

73

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.

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 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 sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019 (“2018 Form 10-K”) and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended May 4, 2019 and August 3, 2019 (collectively, “2019 Form 10-Qs”).

The risks described herein and those described in our 2018 Form 10-K and in our 2019 Form 10-Qs are not the only risks we face. We describe in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I of this quarterly report certain known trends and uncertainties that affect our business. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. We have identified additional material changes to our risk factors set forth below.

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

75

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 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 were expected to increase further to 30 percent on October 15, 2019, however such increase was suspended pending negotiation of a “phase one” trade agreement with China. 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. The U.S. and China are currently in the process of negotiating a “phase one” trade agreement, the result of which may roll back or delay the imposition of additional tariffs. However, there can be no assurance that an agreement will be reached on the timeline anticipated or at all, or that the U.S. will not increase tariffs or impose additional tariffs as a consequence for the failure to reach an agreement.

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.

76

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 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.

Our operations and those of third parties on whom we depend are subject to risks of natural or man-made disasters, acts of war, terrorism or widespread illness, any one of which could result in a business stoppage and negatively affect our results of operations.

Our business operations depend on our ability to maintain and protect our facilities, computer systems and personnel. Our operations and consumer spending may be affected by natural or man-made disasters or other similar

77

events, including floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, widespread illness, fires, power outages, telecommunications failure, interruption of other utilities, industrial accidents, social or political unrest and riots. In particular, our corporate headquarters is located in Northern California and other parts of our operations are located in Northern and Southern California, each of which is vulnerable to the effects of natural disasters and related matters that could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our results of operations including earthquakes, fires and power outages. Further, there is evidence that extreme weather, extended drought and shifting climate patterns may have affected the frequency and severity of wildfires in California. In addition, we will be subject to the risk of natural and man-made disasters in any of the regions in which we operate as we continue to expand our operations inside the United States and internationally. Many of our third party suppliers and vendors are also located in areas that may be affected by these or similar events. In addition, these kinds of factors including geopolitical or public safety conditions may affect consumer behavior and spending and therefore could materially and adversely impact our business. Terrorist attacks or other hostilities, or threats thereof, in the United States or in other countries around the world, as well as future events occurring in response to or in connection with them, could result in reduced levels of consumer spending. Any of these occurrences could have a significant impact on our results of operations, revenue and costs.

We have experienced instances in which weather and other natural disasters including power outages related to the risks of wildfires have had an impact on our business. If we encounter difficulties associated with any of our facilities or if any of our facilities were to shut down for any reason, including as a result of a natural disaster, cyberattack or a prolonged loss of power or telecommunications abilities, we could face shortages of inventory resulting in backorders, significantly higher costs and longer lead times associated with distributing our products to both our stores and online customers and the inability to process orders in a timely manner or ship goods to our customers. In addition, inability to access key systems at our corporate headquarters and other facilities, including accounting, finance and payroll, for prolonged periods may adversely affect our business and lead to management distraction and an inability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Further, any significant interruption in the operation of our customer service centers could also reduce our ability to receive and process orders and provide products and services to our stores and customers, which could result in lost sales, cancelled sales and a loss of loyalty to our brand. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
