Segment Reporting

NOTE 17—SEGMENT REPORTING

We define reportable and operating segments on the same basis that we use to evaluate our performance internally by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”), which we have determined is our Chief Executive Officer. We have three operating segments: RH Segment, Waterworks and Real Estate. The RH Segment and Waterworks operating segments (the “retail operating segments”) include all sales channels accessed by our customers, including sales through retail locations and outlets, including hospitality, websites, Source Books, and the Trade and Contract channel. The Real Estate segment represents operations associated with our equity method investments and certain of our consolidated variable interest entities that are non-wholly owned subsidiaries and have operations that are not directly related to RH’s operations (refer to Note 5—Variable Interest Entities).

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 expense—net, income tax expense (benefit) and our share of equity method investments losses. Segment operating income excludes (i) asset impairments, (ii) the amortization of the non-cash compensation charge related to the fully vested option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020, (iii) employer payroll tax expense related to the option exercise by Mr. Friedman, (iv) professional fees related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes transactions (refer to Note 9—Convertible Senior Notes), (v) compensation settlements related to the Rollover Units and Profit Interest Units in the Waterworks subsidiary, (vi) product recalls, (vii) favorable legal settlement, (viii) gain on sale of building and land, and (ix) severance costs associated with reorganizations. 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 reviews.

The following table presents segment operating income and income before income taxes:

The statements of income metrics for the Real Estate segment were immaterial in the three and nine months ended October 29, 2022 and, therefore, such results are presented within the RH Segment for the respective periods. In the three months ended October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, the Real Estate segment share of equity method investments losses were $1.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and were $6.1 million and $6.9 million in the nine months ended October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, respectively. For both the three and nine months ended October 29, 2022, our share of equity method investments for the Waterworks segment was immaterial.
