NOTE 1—THE COMPANY
Nature of Business
RH, a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), is a leading retailer and luxury lifestyle brand operating primarily in the home furnishings market. Our curated and fully integrated assortments are presented consistently across our sales channels, including our retail locations, websites and Sourcebooks. We offer merchandise assortments across a number of categories, including furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, décor, outdoor and garden, and baby, child and teen furnishings.
As of July 29, 2023, we operated a total of
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from our records and, in our senior leadership team’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state our financial position as of July 29, 2023, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022. Our current fiscal year, which consists of 53 weeks, ends on February 3, 2024 (“fiscal 2023”).
The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as the financial information of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where we represent the primary beneficiary and have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s performance. Accordingly, all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated through the consolidation process.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted for purposes of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires our senior leadership team to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
We have assessed various accounting estimates and other matters, including those that require consideration of forecasted financial information, using information that is reasonably available to us at this time. The accounting estimates and other matters we have assessed include, but were not limited to, sales return reserve, inventory reserve, allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill, and intangible and other long-lived assets. Our current assessment of these estimates is included in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended July 29, 2023. As additional information becomes available to us, our future assessment of these estimates, as well as other factors, could change and the results of any such change could materially and adversely impact our condensed consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2023 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).
The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 29, 2023, presented herein, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Our business, like the businesses of retailers generally, is subject to uncertainty surrounding the financial impact of the factors as discussed in Business Conditions below.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION | 2023 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 11 |
Business Conditions
There are a number of macroeconomic factors and uncertainties affecting the overall business climate as well as our business, including increased inflation, substantially higher interest and mortgage rates, and unpredictability in the global financial markets related to the foregoing as well as, among other things, the recent failures of several financial institutions. We experienced increased demand for our products during the pandemic, and there have been significant shifts in consumer consumption patterns with the easing of the pandemic including increases in travel and services rather than spending on home furnishings. These and other macroeconomic factors may have a number of adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions and markets in which we operate, including the housing market, with the potential for an economic recession and a sustained downturn in the housing market. Factors such as a slowdown in the housing market or negative trends in stock market prices could have an adverse impact on demand for our products. We believe that these macroeconomic and other factors have contributed to the slowdown in demand that we have experienced in our business over the last several fiscal quarters.
Our decisions regarding the sources and uses of capital will continue to reflect and adapt to changes in market conditions and our business, including further developments with respect to macroeconomic factors.
For more information, refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2022 Form 10-K.
NOTE 2—RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
New Accounting Standards or Updates Adopted
Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04—Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations (“ASU 2022-04”). ASU 2022-04 requires entities to disclose a program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and potential magnitude. Under ASU 2022-04, the buyer in a supplier finance program is required to disclose information about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. With the exception of the disclosure of rollforward information, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods for which a balance sheet is presented. The rollforward requirement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and is required to be applied prospectively. We adopted ASU 2022-04 in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Supplier Finance Program
We facilitate a voluntary supply chain financing program (the “Financing Program”) with a third-party financial institution (the “Bank”) to provide participating suppliers with the opportunity to receive early payment on invoices, net of a discount charged to the supplier by the Bank. We are not a party to the supplier agreements with the Bank, and the terms of our payment obligations to suppliers are not impacted by a supplier’s participation in the Financing Program. Our responsibility is limited to making payments to the Bank on the terms originally negotiated with our suppliers, which are typically either 30 days or 60 days. There are
The Financing Program is not indicative of a borrowing arrangement and the liabilities under the Financing Program are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and associated payments are included within operating activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of July 29, 2023 and January 28, 2023, supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the Financing Program included in accounts payable and accrued expenses were $

New Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Adopted
Joint Venture Formations: Recognition and Initial Measurement
In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05—Business Combinations—Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement (“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 applies to the formation of a “joint venture” or a “corporate joint venture” and requires a joint venture to initially measure all contributions received upon its formation at fair value. The guidance does not impact accounting by the venturers. The new guidance is applicable to joint venture entities with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025 on a prospective basis. While ASU 2023-05 is not currently applicable to us because our existing arrangements in variable interest entities do not meet the definition of joint ventures as described in the proposed standard, we will apply this guidance in future reporting periods after the guidance is effective to any future arrangements meeting the definition of a joint venture.

NOTE 5—VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) and Noncontrolling Interests
In fiscal 2022, we formed
The Member LLCs are qualitatively determined to be VIEs due to their having insufficient equity investment at risk to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support. Upon the formation of each Member LLC we determined that the power to direct the most significant activities of each Member LLC is either controlled by us or shared between the members of the Member LLCs. In the instances where there is shared power among related parties as defined in the consolidation accounting guidance, we evaluated the related-party tiebreaker guidance and determined that we are most closely associated with each Member LLC. Accordingly, we are the primary beneficiary of the Member LLCs and we consolidate the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Member LLCs in our consolidated financial statements.
We measure the noncontrolling interests in the consolidated variable interest entities using the distribution provisions set out in the operating agreements of each Member LLC. As of July 29, 2023 and January 28, 2023, the noncontrolling interest holders had no claim to the net assets of each Member LLC based upon such distribution provisions. Accordingly, we did not recognize any noncontrolling interests as of July 29, 2023 and January 28, 2023.

On June 28, 2017, RHI entered into the Eleventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended prior to July 29, 2021, the “11th A&R Credit Agreement”) by and among RHI, Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., certain other subsidiaries of RH named therein as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and the ABL Agent, which amended and restated the Original Credit Agreement.
On July 29, 2021, RHI entered into the Twelfth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “ABL Credit Agreement”) by and among RHI, Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., certain other subsidiaries of RH named therein as borrowers or guarantors, the lenders party thereto and the ABL Agent, which amended and restated the 11th A&R Credit Agreement. The ABL Credit Agreement has a revolving line of credit with initial availability of up to $
The availability of credit at any given time under the ABL Credit Agreement will be constrained by the terms and conditions of the ABL Credit Agreement, including the amount of collateral available, a borrowing base formula based upon numerous factors, including the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable, and other restrictions contained in the ABL Credit Agreement. All obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement are secured by substantial assets of the loan parties, including inventory, receivables and certain types of intellectual property.
Borrowings under the revolving line of credit (other than swing line loans, which are subject to interest at the base rate) bear interest, at the borrower’s option, at either the base rate or LIBOR subject to a
The ABL Credit Agreement contains various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including required financial reporting, limitations on granting certain liens, limitations on making certain loans or investments, limitations on incurring additional debt, restricted payment limitations limiting the payment of dividends and certain other transactions and distributions, limitations on transactions with affiliates, along with other restrictions and limitations similar to those frequently found in credit agreements of a similar type and size.

The ABL Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and other customary terms and conditions for an asset based credit facility.

As a result, 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). As of July 29, 2023, the amount available for borrowing under the revolving line of credit under the ABL Credit Agreement was $

All obligations under the Term Loan B are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of RHI. Further, RHI and such subsidiaries have granted a security interest in substantially all of their assets (subject to customary and other exceptions) to secure the Term Loan B. Substantially all of the collateral securing the Term Loan B also secures the loans and other credit extensions under the ABL Credit Agreement. On October 20, 2021, in connection with the Term Loan Credit Agreement, RHI and certain other subsidiaries of RH party to the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement, as the case may be, entered into an Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) with the Term Agent and the ABL Agent. The Intercreditor Agreement establishes 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 ABL Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement without the consent of the other parties.
The borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, subject to a prepayment premium of
The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including required financial reporting, limitations on granting certain liens, limitations on making certain loans or investments, limitations on incurring additional debt, restricted payment limitations limiting the payment of dividends and certain other transactions and distributions, limitations on transactions with affiliates, along with other restrictions and limitations similar to those frequently found in credit agreements of a similar type and size, but provides for unlimited exceptions in the case of incurring indebtedness, granting of liens and making investments, dividend payments, and payments of material junior indebtedness, subject to satisfying specified leverage ratio tests.

The increase in our effective tax rate for the six months ended July 29, 2023 compared to the six months ended July 30, 2022, is primarily attributable to significantly lower net excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation in fiscal 2023 as compared to fiscal 2022.

NOTE 16—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
We had
Contingencies
We are subject to contingencies, including in connection with lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of our business. These disputes are increasing in number as we expand our business and provide new product and service offerings, such as restaurants and hospitality, and as we enter new markets and legal jurisdictions and face increased complexity related to compliance and regulatory requirements. In addition, we are subject to governmental and regulatory examinations, information requests, and investigations from time to time at the state and federal levels.
Certain legal proceedings that we currently face involve various class-action allegations, including cases related to our employment practices, the application of state wage-and-hour laws and other causes of action. We have faced similar litigation in the past, including class action cases. Due to the inherent difficulty of predicting the course of legal actions related to complex legal matters, including class-action allegations, such as the eventual scope, duration or outcome, we may be unable to estimate the amount or range of any potential loss that could result from an unfavorable outcome arising from such matters. Our assessment of these legal proceedings, as well as other lawsuits, could change based upon the discovery of facts that are not presently known or developments during the course of the litigation. We have settled certain class action cases but continue to defend a variety of legal actions and our estimates of our exposure in such cases may evolve over time. Accordingly, the ultimate costs to resolve litigation, including class action cases, may be substantially higher or lower than our estimates.
With respect to such contingencies, we review the need for any loss contingency reserves and establish reserves when, in the opinion of our senior leadership team, it is probable that a matter would result in liability, and the amount of loss, if any, can be reasonably estimated. Loss contingencies determined to be probable and estimable are recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 6—Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities). These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to each matter. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of certain matters, particularly in cases in which claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages, it may not be possible to determine whether a liability has been incurred or to reasonably estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case no reserve is established until that time. When and to the extent that we do establish a reserve, there can be no assurance that any such recorded liability for estimated losses will be for the appropriate amount, and actual losses could be higher or lower than what we accrue from time to time. Although we believe that the ultimate resolution of our current legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements, the outcome of legal matters is subject to inherent uncertainty.
Although we are self-insured or maintain deductibles in the United States for workers’ compensation, general liability and product liability up to predetermined amounts, above which third-party insurance applies, depending on the facts and circumstances of the underlying claims, coverage under our insurance policies may not be available. Even if we believe coverage does apply under our insurance programs, our insurance carriers may dispute coverage based on the underlying facts and circumstances.
32 | 2023 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION |
As a result, the outcome of any matters in which we are involved could result in unexpected expenses and liability that could adversely affect our operations. In addition, any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of our senior leadership team’s time, result in the diversion of significant operational resources, and require changes to our business operations, policies and practices. Legal costs related to such claims are expensed as incurred.
NOTE 17—SEGMENT REPORTING
We define reportable and operating segments on the same basis that we use to evaluate our performance internally by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which we have determined is our Chief Executive Officer. We have
The retail operating segments are strategic business units that offer products for the home furnishings customer. While RH Segment and Waterworks have a shared senior leadership team and customer base, we have determined that their results cannot be aggregated as they do not share similar economic characteristics, as well as due to other quantitative factors.
Segment Information
We use operating income to evaluate segment profitability for the retail operating segments and to allocate resources. Operating income is defined as net income before interest expense—net, loss on extinguishment of debt, other (income) expense—net, income tax expense (benefit) and our share of equity method investments loss. Segment operating income excludes (i) legal settlements, (ii) severance costs associated with a reorganization, (iii) non-cash compensation amortization related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020, (iv) employer payroll tax expense related to an option exercise by Mr. Friedman, (v) asset impairments, (vi) professional fees related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes transactions (refer to Note 9—Convertible Senior Notes), (vii) compensation settlements related to the Rollover Units and Profit Interest Units in the Waterworks subsidiary, and (viii) product recalls. These items are excluded from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of segment operating results. Accordingly, these items are not presented by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that the CODM and our senior leadership team review.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND MARKET DATA
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “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. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Matters that we identify as “short term,” “non-recurring,” “unusual,” “one-time,” or other words and terms of similar meaning may, in fact, not be short term and may recur in one or more future financial reporting periods. 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, or that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under the section entitled Risk Factors in our 2022 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 29, 2023 (the “First Quarter Form 10-Q”) and in our 2022 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, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Overview
We are a leading retailer and luxury lifestyle brand operating primarily in the home furnishings market. Our curated and fully integrated assortments are presented consistently across our sales channels, including our retail locations, websites and Sourcebooks. We offer merchandise assortments across a number of categories, including furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, décor, outdoor and garden, and baby, child and teen furnishings. Our retail business is fully integrated across our multiple channels of distribution. We position our Galleries as showrooms for our brand, while our websites and Sourcebooks act as virtual and print extensions of our physical spaces, respectively. We operate our retail locations throughout the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and have an integrated RH Hospitality experience in 15 of our Design Gallery locations, which includes Restaurants and Wine Bars.
We opened the RH Guesthouse in New York in September 2022, a first-of-its-kind hospitality experience for travelers seeking privacy and luxury. The property features six guest rooms, three guest suites and a private residence, as well as The Dining Room & Terrace.
In June 2023, we opened RH England, The Gallery at the Historic Aynho Park, a 400-year-old landmark estate representing the most inspiring and immersive physical expression of the brand to date. RH England marks the beginning of our global expansion beyond North America and our continued foray into hospitality with two primary restaurants: The Orangery, a live fire concept; and The Loggia, an outdoor venue featuring wood-fired pizzas. The Gallery also includes a Wine Lounge and Tea Salon, as well as a Juicery. Spanning 73 acres and over 60 rooms, RH England seamlessly integrates luxury home furnishings collections from RH Interiors, Contemporary, Modern and Outdoor.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION | 2023 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 37 |
We have recently undertaken substantial efforts to introduce the most prolific collection of new products in our history, with over 70 new furniture and upholstery collections across RH Interiors, Contemporary, Modern, Outdoor, Baby & Child and TEEN. These new collections reflect a level of design and quality inaccessible in our current market, and a value proposition that will be disruptive across multiple markets. Over the next several quarters we will be increasing our investment in Sourcebooks in connection with the introduction of these new products.
As of July 29, 2023, we operated the following number of locations:

Business Conditions
There are a number of macroeconomic factors and uncertainties affecting the overall business climate as well as our business, including increased inflation, substantially higher interest and mortgage rates, and unpredictability in the global financial markets related to the foregoing as well as, among other things, the recent failures of several financial institutions. We experienced increased demand for our products during the pandemic and there have been significant shifts in consumer consumption patterns with the easing of the pandemic, including increases in travel and services rather than spending on home furnishings. These and other macroeconomic factors may have a number of adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions and markets in which we operate, including the housing market, with the potential for an economic recession and a sustained downturn in the housing market. Factors such as a slowdown in the housing market or negative trends in stock market prices could have an adverse impact on demand for our products. We believe that these macroeconomic and other factors have contributed to the slowdown in demand that we have experienced in our business over the last several fiscal quarters.
Our decisions regarding the sources and uses of capital will continue to reflect and adapt to changes in market conditions and our business, including further developments with respect to macroeconomic factors.
We also face uncertainties related to the large number of new business initiatives that we are undertaking at the same time, including efforts to grow our business through (i) international expansion, (ii) developing innovative new Gallery designs and locations for our business, (iii) pursuing new areas of business operations including real estate development and real estate joint ventures, as well as the expansion of RH Hospitality, and (iv) substantial enhancement of our merchandise assortment and improvements to the quality of our products and services as we seek to climb the luxury mountain.
For more information, refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2022 Form 10-K.
Key Value-Driving Strategies
In order to achieve our long-term strategies of Product Elevation, Platform Expansion and Cash Generation as well as drive growth across our business, we are focused on the following key strategies and business initiatives:
38 | 2023 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION |
Product Elevation. We believe we have built the most comprehensive and compelling collection of luxury home furnishings under one brand in the world. Our products are presented across multiple collections, categories and channels that we control, and their desirability and exclusivity has enabled us to achieve industry-leading revenues and margins. Our customers know our brand concepts as RH Interiors, RH Modern, RH Contemporary, RH Outdoor, RH Beach House, RH Ski House, RH Baby & Child, RH TEEN and Waterworks. Our strategy is to continue to elevate the design and quality of our product. Over the next year we will be introducing a large number of new products as we have continued our efforts to enhance our merchandise assortment. In addition, over the next few years, we plan to introduce RH Couture, RH Bespoke and RH Color.
Gallery Transformation. Our product is elevated and rendered more valuable by our architecturally inspiring Galleries. We believe our strategy to open new Design Galleries in every major market in North America will unlock the value of our vast assortment, generating an expected annual revenue opportunity for our business of $5 to $6 billion. We believe we can significantly increase our sales by transforming our real estate platform from our existing legacy retail footprint to a portfolio of Design Galleries sized to the potential of each market and the size of our assortment. In addition, we plan to incorporate hospitality into most of the new Design Galleries that we open in the future, which further elevates and renders our product and brand more valuable. We believe hospitality has created a unique new retail experience that cannot be replicated online, and that the addition of hospitality drives incremental sales of home furnishings in these Galleries.
Brand Elevation. We are evolving the RH brand beyond curating and selling product to conceptualizing and selling spaces by building an ecosystem of Products, Places, Services and Spaces designed to elevate and render our product more valuable while establishing the RH brand as a thought leader, taste and place maker. We believe our seamlessly integrated ecosystem of immersive experiences inspires customers to dream, design, dine, travel and live in a world thoughtfully curated by RH, creating an impression and connection unlike any other brand in the world. Our hospitality efforts will continue to elevate the RH brand as we extend beyond the four walls of our Galleries into RH Guesthouses, where our goal is to create a new market for travelers seeking privacy and luxury in the $200 billion North American hotel industry. We entered this industry with the opening of the RH Guesthouse in New York in September 2022, and are in the process of constructing our second RH Guesthouse in Aspen. Additionally, we are creating bespoke experiences like RH Yountville, an integration of Food, Wine, Art & Design in the Napa Valley; RH1 & RH2, our private jets; and RH3, our luxury yacht that is available for charter in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, where the wealthy and affluent visit and vacation. These immersive experiences expose new and existing customers to our evolving authority in architecture, interior design and landscape architecture.
Digital Reimagination. Our strategy is to digitally reimagine the RH brand and business model both internally and externally. Internally, our multi-year effort began with the reimagination of our Center of Innovation & Product Leadership to incorporate digitally integrated visuals and decision data designed to amplify the creative process from product ideation to product presentation. Externally, our strategy comes to life digitally through The World of RH, an online portal where customers can explore and be inspired by the depth and dimension of our brand. Launched in the spring of 2022, The World of RH includes rich, immersive content with simplified navigation and search functionality, all designed to enhance the shopping experience and render our product and brand more valuable. We expect to continue to elevate the customer experience on The World of RH with further enhancements to content, navigation and search functionality. We believe an opportunity exists to create similar strategic separation online as we have with our Galleries offline, reconceptualizing what a website can and should be.
Global Expansion. We believe that our luxury brand positioning and unique aesthetic have strong international appeal, and that pursuit of global expansion will provide RH with a substantial opportunity to build over time a projected $20 to $25 billion global brand in terms of annual revenues. Our view is that the competitive environment globally is more fragmented and primed for disruption than the North American market, and there is no direct competitor of scale that possesses the product, operational platform, and brand of RH. As such, we are actively pursuing the expansion of the RH brand globally with the objective of launching international locations in Europe, which began with the opening of RH England, The Gallery at the Historic Aynho Park, in June 2023. We have secured a number of locations in various markets in the U.K. and continental Europe for future Design Galleries and are currently in lease or purchase negotiations for additional locations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted capital expenditures. We compute these measures by adjusting the applicable GAAP measures to remove the impact of certain recurring and non-recurring charges and gains and to adjust for the impact of income tax items related to such adjustments to our GAAP financial statements. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. We believe that they provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by senior leadership in its financial and operational decision-making. The non-GAAP financial measures used by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be different from the non-GAAP financial measures, including similarly titled measures, used by other companies.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures tables outlined below. These accompanying tables include details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

Net revenues
Consolidated net revenues decreased $191 million, or 19.3%, to $800 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $992 million in the three months ended July 30, 2022.
RH Segment net revenues
RH Segment net revenues decreased $187 million, or 19.9%, to $754 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $940 million in the three months ended July 30, 2022. The below discussion highlights several significant factors that resulted in a decrease in RH Segment net revenues, which are listed in order of magnitude.
RH Segment net revenues for the three months ended July 29, 2023 decreased primarily due to lower demand compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2022, during which demand and net revenues still benefited from the elevated pandemic-driven home spending. Outlet sales decreased $9.7 million to $59 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $69 million in the three months ended July 30, 2022.
Waterworks net revenues
Waterworks net revenues decreased $4.5 million, or 8.8%, to $47 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $51 million in the three months ended July 30, 2022.
Gross profit
Consolidated gross profit decreased $143 million, or 27.4%, to $380 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $523 million in the three months ended July 30, 2022. As a percentage of net revenues, consolidated gross margin decreased 530 basis points to 47.5% of net revenues in the three months ended July 29, 2023 from 52.8% of net revenues in the three months ended July 30, 2022.
RH Segment gross profit
RH Segment gross profit decreased $141 million, or 28.4%, to $354 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $495 million in the three months ended July 30, 2022. As a percentage of net revenues, RH Segment gross margin decreased 570 basis points to 47.0% of net revenues in the three months ended July 29, 2023 from 52.7% of net revenues in the three months ended July 30, 2022. The decrease in RH Segment gross margin was primarily attributable to a decrease in product margins in the Core business, primarily driven by higher discounts on discontinued product collections, as well as lower net revenues resulting in deleverage in occupancy costs.
Waterworks gross profit
Waterworks gross profit decreased $2.5 million, or 8.9%, to $26 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $28 million in the three months ended July 30, 2022. As a percentage of net revenues, Waterworks gross margin was 54.7% of net revenues in both the three months ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION | 2023 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 45 |
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $60 million, or 20.8%, to $229 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $289 million in the three months ended July 30, 2022.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $53 million, or 20.1%, to $211 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $264 million in the three months ended July 30, 2022.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 29, 2023 include legal settlements of $8.0 million and non-cash compensation of $2.0 million related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 30, 2022 include amortization of non-cash compensation of $4.3 million related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020, $2.0 million of asset impairments and a $0.3 million professional fee which was contingent upon the completion of our debt transactions related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses would have been 26.6% and 27.4% of net revenues for the three months ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, respectively, excluding the costs incurred in connection with the adjustments mentioned above. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was due to lower advertising costs compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2022 driven by the mailing of the new RH Contemporary Sourcebook, partially offset by lower net revenues resulting in leverage in deleverage in occupancy and other corporate costs.
Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses
Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $6.9 million, or 28.2%, to $18 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $25 million in the three months ended July 30, 2022. Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses were 37.6% and 47.8% of net revenues for the three months ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, respectively.
Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 30, 2022 include $3.5 million in compensation settlements related to the Rollover Units and Profit Interests Units and a $0.2 million asset impairment. Excluding the adjustments, Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses would have been 37.6% and 40.7% of net revenues for the three months ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, respectively.
Interest expense—net

Loss on extinguishment of debt
During the three months ended July 30, 2022, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $23 million related to the repurchase of $57 million of principal value of convertible senior notes, inclusive of the acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.3 million. The loss represents the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the convertible senior notes upon entering into the repurchase agreements with the noteholders. Refer to Note 9—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other (income) expense—net
Other (income) expense—net was income of $0.2 million in the three months ended July 29, 2023, which represents a foreign exchange gain from the remeasurement of intercompany loans with U.K. and Switzerland subsidiaries, partially offset by a loss due to unfavorable exchange rate changes affecting foreign currency denominated transactions, primarily between the U.S. dollar as compared to Pound Sterling and Euro.
Other (income) expense—net was an expense of $3.2 million during the three months ended July 30, 2022, which included a loss on derivative instruments of $1.5 million resulting from the completion of certain transactions related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes. Refer to Note 9—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Other (income) expense—net also includes a $1.7 million loss due to unfavorable exchange rate changes affecting foreign currency denominated transactions, primarily between the U.S. dollar as compared to Pound Sterling and Euro, in addition to a foreign exchange loss from the remeasurement of an intercompany loan with a U.K. subsidiary.

The decrease in our effective tax rate for the three months ended July 29, 2023 compared to the three months ended July 30, 2022 is primarily attributable to net excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and amounts related to the loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended July 30, 2022.
Equity method investments loss
Equity method investments loss consists of our proportionate share of the loss of our equity method investments by applying the hypothetical liquidation at book value methodology, which resulted in a $3.4 million and $2.8 million loss during the three months ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, respectively.

Net revenues
Consolidated net revenues decreased $409 million, or 21.0%, to $1,540 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $1,949 million in the six months ended July 30, 2022.
RH Segment net revenues
RH Segment net revenues decreased $405 million, or 21.9%, to $1,444 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $1,849 million in the six months ended July 30, 2022. The below discussion highlights several significant factors that impacted RH Segment net revenues, which are listed in order of magnitude.
RH Segment net revenues for the six months ended July 29, 2023 decreased primarily due to lower demand compared to the first half of fiscal 2022, during which demand still benefited from the elevated pandemic-driven home spending. Outlet sales decreased $23 million to $116 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $139 million in the six months ended July 30, 2022.
Waterworks net revenues
Waterworks net revenues decreased $4.2 million, or 4.2%, to $96 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $100 million in the six months ended July 30, 2022.
Gross profit
Consolidated gross profit decreased $294 million, or 28.8%, to $728 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $1,022 million in the six months ended July 30, 2022. As a percentage of net revenues, consolidated gross margin decreased 510 basis points to 47.3% of net revenues in the six months ended July 29, 2023 from 52.4% of net revenues in the six months ended July 30, 2022.
RH Segment gross profit
RH Segment gross profit decreased $292 million, or 30.2%, to $676 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023 from $968 million in the six months ended July 30, 2022. As a percentage of net revenues, RH Segment gross margin decreased 550 basis points to 46.8% of net revenues in the six months ended July 29, 2023 from 52.3% of net revenues in the six months ended July 30, 2022. The decrease in RH Segment gross margin was primarily attributable to a decrease in product margins in the Core business, primarily driven by higher discounts on discontinued product collections, as well as lower net revenues resulting in deleverage in occupancy costs.

Waterworks gross profit
Waterworks gross profit decreased $2.3 million, or 4.3%, to $52 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023 from $54 million in the six months ended July 30, 2022. As a percentage of net revenues, Waterworks gross margin was 54.0% of net revenues in both the six months ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $105 million, or 18.0%, to $477 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $582 million in the six months ended July 30, 2022.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $100 million, or 18.5%, to $440 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $540 million in the six months ended July 30, 2022.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 29, 2023 include legal settlements of $8.0 million, severance expense and other payroll related costs associated with a reorganization of $7.6 million and non-cash compensation of $5.6 million related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 30, 2022 include $12 million of employer payroll tax expense associated with Mr. Friedman’s stock option exercise during the first quarter of fiscal 2022, amortization of non-cash compensation of $10 million related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020, $8.0 million related to asset impairments, $7.5 million of professional fees which were contingent upon the completion of our debt transactions related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes and $0.6 million related to product recalls.
RH Segment selling, general and administrative expenses would have been 29.0% and 27.1% of net revenues for the six months ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, respectively, excluding the costs incurred in connection with the adjustments mentioned above. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues was primarily driven by lower net revenues resulting in deleverage in compensation, occupancy and other corporate costs, partially offset by lower advertising costs due to the mailing of the new RH Contemporary Sourcebook in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and lower pre-opening costs.
Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses
Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $5.4 million, or 12.8%, to $37 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023 compared to $42 million in the six months ended July 30, 2022. Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses were 38.7% and 42.5% of net revenues for the six months ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, respectively.
Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 30, 2022 include $3.5 million in compensation settlements related to the Rollover Units and Profit Interest Units and a $0.2 million asset impairment. Excluding the adjustments, Waterworks selling, general and administrative expenses would have been 38.7% and 38.8% of net revenues for the six months ended July 29, 2023 and July 30, 2022, respectively.

Loss on extinguishment of debt
During the six months ended July 30, 2022, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $170 million related to the repurchase of $237 million of principal value of convertible senior notes, inclusive of the acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $1.3 million. The loss represents the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the convertible senior notes upon entering into the repurchase agreements with the noteholders. Refer to Note 9—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other (income) expense—net
Other income (expense)—net was income of $0.8 million in the six months ended July 29, 2023, which represents a foreign exchange gain from the remeasurement of intercompany loans with U.K. and Switzerland subsidiaries, offset by a loss due to unfavorable exchange rate changes affecting foreign currency denominated transactions, primarily between the U.S. dollar as compared to Pound Sterling and Euro.
Other income (expense)—net was an expense of $2.9 million during the six months ended July 30, 2022, which included a $4.6 million loss due to unfavorable exchange rate changes affecting foreign currency denominated transactions, primarily between the U.S. dollar as compared to Pound Sterling and Euro, in addition to a foreign exchange loss from the remeasurement of an intercompany loan with a U.K. subsidiary. The foreign currency loss was partially offset by a net gain on derivative instruments of $1.7 million during the six months ended July 30, 2022, resulting from the completion of certain transactions related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes, including bond hedge and warrant terminations and convertible senior notes repurchases. Refer to Note 9—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION | 2023 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 51 |
General
The primary cash needs of our business have historically been for merchandise inventories, payroll, rent for our retail and outlet locations, capital expenditures associated with opening new locations, updating existing locations, as well as the development of our infrastructure and information technology, and Sourcebooks. 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. During the three months ended July 29, 2023, we invested $1,208 million of cash, inclusive of excise taxes paid, in the purchase of shares of our common stock pursuant to our Share Repurchase Program (refer to Item 2¾Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds within Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information related to timing). We continuously evaluate our capital allocation strategy and may engage in future investments in connection with existing or new share repurchase programs (refer to “Share Repurchase Program and Share Retirement” below), which may include investments in derivatives or other equity linked instruments. We have in the past been, and continue to be, opportunistic in responding to favorable market conditions regarding both sources and uses of capital. Capital raised from debt financings has enabled us to pursue various investments, including our investments in joint ventures. We expect to continue to take an opportunistic approach regarding both sources and uses of capital in connection with our business.
We believe our capital structure provides us with substantial optionality regarding capital allocation. Our near-term decisions regarding the sources and uses of capital will continue to reflect and adapt to changes in market conditions and our business, including further developments with respect to macroeconomic factors affecting business conditions, such as the pandemic, inflation and increases in interest rates. We believe our existing cash balances and operating cash flows, in conjunction with available financing arrangements, will be sufficient to repay our debt obligations as they become due, meet working capital requirements and fulfill other capital needs for more than the next 12 months.
While we do not require additional debt to fund our operations, our goal continues to be in a position to take advantage of the many opportunities that we identify in connection with our business and operations. We have pursued in the past, and may pursue in the future, additional strategies to generate capital to pursue opportunities and investments, including through the strategic sale of existing assets, utilization of our credit facilities, entry into various credit agreements and other new debt financing arrangements that present attractive terms. We expect to continue to use additional sources of debt financing in future periods as a source of additional capital to fund our various investments.
To the extent we choose to secure additional sources of liquidity through incremental debt financing, there can be no assurances that we will be able to raise such financing on favorable terms, if at all, or that future financing requirements will not require us to raise money through an equity financing or by other means that could be dilutive to holders of our capital stock. Any adverse developments in the U.S. or global credit markets could affect our ability to manage our debt obligations and our ability to access future debt. In addition, agreements governing existing or new debt facilities may restrict our ability to operate our business in the manner we currently expect or to make required payments with respect to existing commitments, including the repayment of the principal amount of our convertible senior notes in cash, whether upon stated maturity, early conversion or otherwise of such convertible 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.
Credit Facilities and Debt Arrangements
We amended and restated our asset based credit facility in July 2021, which has an initial availability of up to $600 million, of which $10 million is available to Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., and includes a $300 million accordion feature under which the revolving line of credit may be expanded by agreement of the parties from $600 million to up to $900 million if and to the extent the lenders revise their credit commitments to encompass a larger facility. The accordion feature may be added as a first-in, last-out term loan facility. The ABL Credit Agreement further provides the borrowers may request a European sub-credit facility under the revolving line of credit or under the accordion feature for borrowing by certain European subsidiaries of RH if certain conditions set out in the asset based credit facility are met. The maturity date of the asset based credit facility is July 29, 2026.
52 | 2023 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION |
We entered into a $2,000 million term debt financing in October 2021 (the “Term Loan B”) by means of a Term Loan Credit Agreement through RHI as the borrower, Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the various lenders party thereto (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). The Term Loan B has a maturity date of October 20, 2028. As of July 29, 2023, we had $1,965 million outstanding under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. We are required to make quarterly principal payments of $5.0 million with respect to the Term Loan B.
In May 2022, we entered into an incremental term debt financing (the “Term Loan B-2”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $500 million by means of an amendment to the Term Loan Credit Agreement with RHI as the borrower, Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and the various lenders parties thereto (the “Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement”). The Term Loan B-2 has a maturity date of October 20, 2028. The Term Loan B-2 constitutes a separate class from the existing Term Loan B under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. As of July 29, 2023, we had $496 million outstanding under the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement. We are required to make quarterly principal payments of $1.3 million with respect to the Term Loan B-2 from December 2022.
Convertible Senior Notes
In September 2019, we issued in a private offering $350 million principal amount of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”).
As of July 29, 2023, we had $42 million remaining in aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes, which have a scheduled maturity in September 2024. We anticipate having sufficient cash available to repay the principal amount of the 2024 Notes in cash with respect to any convertible notes for which the holders elect early conversion, as well as upon maturity of the 2024 Notes in September 2024.
Capital
We have invested significant capital expenditures in developing and opening new Design Galleries, and these capital expenditures have increased in the past, and may continue to increase in future periods, as we open additional Design Galleries, which may require us to undertake upgrades to historical buildings or construction of new buildings. Our adjusted capital expenditures include capital expenditures from investing activities and cash outflows of capital related to construction activities to design and build landlord-owned leased assets, net of tenant allowances received during the construction period. During the six months ended July 29, 2023, adjusted capital expenditures were $96 million in aggregate, net of cash received related to landlord tenant allowances of $4.1 million. In addition, we also received landlord tenant allowances subsequent to lease commencement of $2.4 million, which are reflected as a reduction to principal payments under finance leases within financing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We anticipate our adjusted capital expenditures to be $225 million to $275 million in fiscal 2023, primarily related to our growth and expansion, including construction of new Design Galleries and infrastructure investments. Nevertheless, we may elect to pursue additional capital expenditures beyond those that are anticipated during any given fiscal period inasmuch as our strategy is to be opportunistic with respect to our investments and we may choose to pursue certain capital transactions based on the availability and timing of unique opportunities. There are a number of macroeconomic factors and uncertainties affecting the overall business climate as well as our business, including increased inflation and higher interest rates and we may make adjustments to our allocation of capital in fiscal 2023 or beyond in response to these changing or other circumstances. We may also invest in other uses of our liquidity such as share repurchases, acquisitions and growth initiatives, including through joint ventures and real estate investments.
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION | 2023 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | 53 |
Certain lease arrangements require the landlord to fund a portion of the construction related costs through payments directly to us. As we develop new Galleries, as well as other potential strategic initiatives in the future like our integrated hospitality experience, we are exploring other models for our real estate activities, which include different terms and conditions for real estate transactions. These transactions may involve 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 that we wish to develop for new Gallery locations or other aspects of our business. These approaches might require different levels of capital investment on our part than a traditional store lease with a landlord. We have also begun executing changes in our real estate strategy to transition some projects from a leasing model to a development model, where we buy and develop real estate for our Design Galleries either directly or through joint ventures and other structures with the ultimate objective of (i) recouping a majority of the investment through a sale-leaseback arrangement and (ii) resulting in lower capital investment and lower rent. For example, we have entered into arrangements with a third-party development partner to develop real estate for future RH Design Galleries. In the event that such capital and other expenditures require us to pursue additional funding sources, we can provide no assurance that we will be successful in securing additional funding on attractive terms or at all. In addition, our capital needs and uses of capital may change in the future due to changes in our business or new opportunities that we may pursue.

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities
Operating activities consist primarily of net income adjusted for non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization, impairments, stock-based compensation, loss on extinguishment of debt and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.
For the six months ended July 29, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $248 million and consisted of net income of $118 million and an increase in non-cash items of $188 million, partially offset by a change in working capital and other activities of $57 million. The use of cash from working capital was primarily driven by a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $42 million primarily due to payments made under the related lease agreements, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $32 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $25 million, a decrease in other non-current obligations of $17 million and an increase in landlord assets under construction, net of tenant allowances, of $14 million. These uses of cash from working capital were partially offset by a decrease in merchandise inventory of $65 million.
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities
Investing activities consist primarily of investments in capital expenditures related to investments in retail stores, information technology and systems infrastructure, as well as supply chain investments. Investing activities also include our strategic investments.
For the six months ended July 29, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $115 million and was comprised of investments in retail stores, information technology and systems infrastructure of $82 million and additional contributions to our equity method investments of $34 million.
54 | 2023 SECOND QUARTER FORM 10-Q | PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION |
Net Cash Used In Financing Activities
Financing activities consist primarily of borrowings and repayments related to convertible senior notes, credit facilities and other financing arrangements, and cash used in connection with such financing activities include investments in our share repurchase program, repayment of indebtedness, including principal payments under finance lease agreements and other equity related transactions.
For the six months ended July 29, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $1,224 million, primarily due to the repurchase of 3,698,887 shares of our common stock for an aggregate repurchase amount of $1,205 million, payments on term loans of $13 million, net payments under finance lease agreements of $5.5 million and repayments of the 2023 Notes of $1.7 million and equipment notes of $1.2 million. In addition, we paid $3.7 million of excise taxes related to share repurchases made in fiscal 2022. These cash outflows were partially offset by proceeds from option exercises of $4.7 million.
Non-Cash Transactions
Non-cash transactions consist of non-cash additions of property and equipment and landlord assets and reclassification of assets from landlord assets under construction to finance lease right-of-use assets. In addition, non-cash transactions consist of excise tax from share repurchases included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at period-end, the extinguishment of convertible senior notes related to our repurchase obligations and associated financing liabilities and embedded derivatives arising from the convertible senior notes repurchase (refer to Note 9—Convertible Senior Notes in our condensed consolidated financial statements), as well as shares issued and received related to convertible senior note transactions.
Cash Requirements from Contractual Obligations
Leases
We lease nearly all of our retail and outlet locations, corporate headquarters, distribution centers and home delivery center locations, as well as other storage and office space. Refer to Note 8—Leases in our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on our lease arrangements, including the maturities of our operating and finance lease liabilities.
Most lease arrangements provide us with the option to renew the leases at defined terms. The table presenting the maturities of our lease liabilities included in Note 8—Leases in our condensed consolidated financial statements includes future obligations for renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised and are included in the measurement of the lease liability. Amounts presented therein do not include future lease payments under leases that have not commenced or estimated contingent rent due under operating and finance leases.

Share Repurchase Program and Share Retirement
We regularly review share repurchase activity and consider various factors in determining whether and when to execute investments in connection with our share repurchase program, including, among others, current cash needs, capacity for leverage, cost of borrowings, results of operations and the market price of our common stock. We believe that our share repurchase program will continue to be an excellent allocation of capital for the long-term benefit of our stockholders. We may undertake other repurchase programs in the future with respect to our securities.
Share Repurchase Program
In 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through Rule 10b-18 open market repurchases, Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or through the use of other techniques such as the acquisition of other equity linked instruments, 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.
On June 2, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $2,000 million for the purchase of shares of our outstanding common stock, which increased the total authorized size of the share repurchase program to $2,450 million (the “Share Repurchase Program”). In the six months ended July 29, 2023, we repurchased 3,698,887 shares of our common stock under the Share Repurchase Program at an average price of $325.65 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $1,205 million. As of July 29, 2023, $245 million remains available for future share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program.
Share Retirement
During the six months ended July 29, 2023, we retired 3,698,887 shares of common stock related to shares we repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program. As a result of this retirement, we reclassified a total of $8.6 million and $1,208 million from treasury stock to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings (accumulated deficit), respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as of and for the three and six months ended July 29, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires senior leadership to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We evaluate our accounting policies, estimates, and judgments on an on-going basis. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions and such differences could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
We evaluate the development and selection of our critical accounting policies and estimates and believe that certain of our significant accounting policies involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity and are most significant to reporting our consolidated results of operations and financial position, and are therefore discussed as critical:
Merchandise Inventories—Reserves
Impairment
Tradenames, Trademarks and Other Intangible Assets
Long-Lived Assets
Lease Accounting
Reasonably Certain Lease Term
Incremental Borrowing Rate
Fair Value
Stock-Based Compensation—Performance-Based Awards
Variable Interest Entities
There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates listed above from the disclosures included in our 2022 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 our 2022 Form 10-K.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Standards in our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of recently issued accounting standards that may impact our results in future reporting periods.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISKS
There have been no significant changes in our exposures to market risk since January 28, 2023, other than factors discussed below. Refer to Part II, Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our 2022 Form 10-K for a discussion on our exposures to market risk.
Interest Rate Risk
As described in our 2022 Form 10-K, our Term Loan Credit Agreement bears interest at variable rates and we are exposed to interest rate risk related to our outstanding debt. For every 100-basis point change in interest rates, our annual interest expense could change by approximately $39 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed 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 provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our senior leadership team, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our senior leadership team, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures 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 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide the reasonable assurance described above as of July 29, 2023.
Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
As previously disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K, the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2022, July 30, 2022, and October 29, 2022, and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended April 29, 2023, we identified the following material weakness:
We did not design and maintain an effective control activity over the presentation and disclosure of net income per share, specifically the application of authoritative guidance, including new accounting standards, to the net income per share computations.
This material weakness resulted in errors in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2022, July 30, 2022, and October 29, 2022 that were restated on Form 10-Q/A.
As previously disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K, we designed and implemented an enhanced control activity related to the presentation and disclosure of net income per share, including the application of authoritative guidance and new accounting standards, to the net income per share computations. The enhanced control activity has operated for a sufficient period of time in order for us to conclude, through testing, that the control is designed and is operating effectively. As such, we concluded that the previously reported material weakness has been remediated as of July 29, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended July 29, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we and/or members of our senior leadership team are involved in litigation, claims, investigations 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. 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 senior leadership 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 legal proceedings, including certain securities litigation, refer to Note 16—Commitments and Contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements within Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10 Q.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, prospects, operating results or cash flows. For a detailed discussion of certain risks that affect our business, refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2022 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K.
The risks described in our 2022 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. We describe in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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.
