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 Source Books. 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 October 29, 2022, we operated a total of 67 RH Galleries and 39 RH Outlet stores in 31 states, the District of Columbia and Canada, as well as 14 Waterworks Showrooms throughout the United States and in the U.K., and had sourcing operations in Shanghai and Hong Kong. In September 2022, we opened our first RH Guesthouse in New York.

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 October 29, 2022, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021. Our current fiscal year, which consists of 52 weeks, ends on January 28, 2023 (“fiscal 2022”).

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. Noncontrolling interests represent third-party interests in the net assets under VIEs determined by applying the hypothetical liquidation at book value methodology. Noncontrolling interests in VIEs are immaterial as of October 29, 2022. Refer to Note 5—Variable Interest Entities.

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, in context of the unknown future impacts of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19” or “the pandemic”) 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 nine months ended October 29, 2022.

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 29, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021 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 pandemic and other factors as discussed in Macro-Economic Factors and COVID-19 Pandemic below.

Macro-Economic Factors and COVID-19 Pandemic

There are a number of macro-economic factors and uncertainties affecting the overall business climate as well as our business, including increased inflation and rising interest rates. These factors may have a number of adverse effects on macro-economic conditions and markets in which we operate, 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 a negative impact on demand for our products. We believe that these macro-economic factors have contributed to the slowdown in demand that we have experienced in our business over the last several fiscal quarters.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause challenges in certain aspects of our business operations primarily related to our supply chain, including delays in our receipt of products from vendors, which have affected our ability to convert demand into revenues at normal historic rates. While our performance during the pandemic demonstrates the desirability of our exclusive products, consumer spending have shifted away from spending on the home and home-related categories toward travel and leisure and other areas.

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 macro-economic factors and the pandemic. Refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
