NOTE 2—ORGANIZATION

The Company was formed on August 18, 2011 and capitalized on September 2, 2011 as a holding company for the purposes of facilitating an initial public offering of common equity and was at such time a direct subsidiary of Home Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Home Holdings”).

On November 1, 2012, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Restoration Hardware, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Restoration Hardware, Inc. became our direct, wholly owned subsidiary. Restoration Hardware, Inc. was a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Home Holdings prior to our initial public offering. Outstanding units issued by Home Holdings under its equity compensation plan, referred to as the Team Resto Ownership Plan, were replaced with our common stock at the time of our initial public offering. These transactions are referred to as the “Reorganization.” On November 7, 2012, we completed our initial public offering.

On December 15, 2016, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to change our name to “RH,” effective January 1, 2017.

Recent Developments—COVID-19

The COVID-19 outbreak in the fiscal quarter of fiscal 2020 caused disruption to our business operations. In our initial response to the health crisis we undertook immediate adjustments to our business operations including temporarily closing all of our retail locations and Restaurants, curtailing expenses and delaying investments including scaling back some inventory orders while we assessed the status of our business. Our approach to the crisis evolved quickly as our business trends substantially improved during the second through fourth fiscal quarters of fiscal 2020 as a result of both the reopening of most of our retail locations and also strong consumer demand for our products. Operational restrictions related to COVID-19 affecting our Galleries and hospitality locations have fluctuated during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and continuing into the first quarter of 2021 based upon changes in local conditions and regulations. As of March 24, 2021 we had reopened all of our Galleries and Outlets, and nine out of ten of our Restaurants although many of our Restaurants were continuing to conduct business under occupancy limitations and other operational restrictions.

Our overall customer demand in specific markets during fiscal 2020 has generally correlated favorably with our customers’ ability to access our Galleries and Outlets. Although our business has strengthened during the period from the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and continuing into the first quarter of fiscal 2021, various constraints in our merchandise supply chain have resulted in some delays in our ability to convert business demand into revenues at normal historical rates. We anticipate that the business conditions related to COVID-19 will continue to adversely affect the capacity of our vendors and supply chain to meet our merchandise demand levels during fiscal 2021. We expect that our supply chain may catch up to demand in the second half of fiscal 2021, but business circumstances and operational conditions in numerous international locations where our vendors operate cannot be predicted with certainty. As a result, the pandemic may continue to adversely affect business operations in these jurisdictions which could in turn have a negative impact on our business and our ability to source products.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to closely manage our investments while considering both the overall economic environment as well as the needs of our business operations. In addition, our near-term decisions regarding the sources and uses of capital in our business will continue to reflect and adapt to changes in market conditions and our business including further developments with respect to the pandemic. For example, real estate development counterparties with respect to some of our Gallery developments have withdrawn from these projects as a result of capital or liquidity constraints due to COVID-19 related difficulties, and these and other similar factors may impact the timing or scope of some of our new Galleries including delays in our previous plans to open a number of our international locations.
