Nature of Business
Arhaus, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “Arhaus”) is a Delaware corporation and is a premium retailer in the home furnishings market, specializing in livable luxury supported by heirloom quality merchandise. We offer merchandise in a number of categories, including furniture, outdoor, lighting, textiles and décor. Our curated assortments are presented across our sales channels in sophisticated, family friendly and unique lifestyle settings. We position our retail locations as Showrooms for our brand, while our website acts as a virtual extension of our Showrooms. The Company operated 80 Showrooms at September 30, 2022.
Arhaus was formed on July 14, 2021 for the purpose of completing an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock and related transactions in order to carry on the business of Arhaus, LLC (“LLC”) and its subsidiaries. Pursuant to the corporate reorganization and completion of the IPO in November 2021, the Company became a holding company for LLC and its subsidiaries.
In connection with the IPO, the Company reorganized its ownership structure from a limited liability company to a corporation. Pursuant to the terms of the Integrated Contribution Agreement by and among the Company, FS Arhaus Holding, Inc. (“FS Arhaus,” “Class B Units,” or “noncontrolling interest”), a Delaware corporation, Homeworks Holdings Inc. (“Homeworks,” or “Class A Units”) and the unit holders (“Management Unitholders”) of LLC, a series of transactions were completed on November 8, 2021, which we refer to, collectively, as the “Reorganization.” LLC and Homeworks were identified as entities under common control, in which both entities are ultimately controlled by the same party before and after the Reorganization and therefore resulted in a change in reporting entity. In accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5, for transactions between entities under common control, the condensed consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the Reorganization have been adjusted to retrospectively combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Accordingly, all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated through the consolidation process. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year's presentation.
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and changes in stockholders’equity (deficit) for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and the related interim condensed consolidated disclosures are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
In management’s opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position at September 30, 2022; the results of operations and changes in stockholders’equity (deficit) for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
The results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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. The accounting estimates and other matters included within our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are revenue recognition, including a reserve for merchandise returns, goodwill and fair value of financial instruments which include, but are not limited to, accounts receivable, payables, lease obligations, derivative and equity based compensation instruments.
Client Deposits
Client deposits represent payments made by clients on orders. At the time of purchase, the Company collects deposits for all orders equivalent to at least 50 percent of the clients’ purchase price. Orders are recognized as revenue when the merchandise is delivered to the client and at the time of delivery the client deposit is no longer recorded as a liability. The Company expects substantially all client deposits as of September 30, 2022 will be recognized as net revenue within the next 12 months as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Gift Cards
The Company sells gift cards to clients in our Showrooms and through our website. Such gift cards do not have expiration dates. We defer revenue when payments are received in advance of performance for unsatisfied obligations related to our gift cards. The liability related to unredeemed gift cards of $0.9 million and $0.9 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, is recorded in the accrued other expenses line item of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes income associated with breakage proportional to actual gift card redemptions.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The Company’s primary financial instruments are cash and cash equivalent investments, accounts receivable, payables, lease obligations, a derivative and equity based compensation instruments. Due to the short-term maturities of cash and cash equivalent investments, accounts receivable and payables, the Company believes the fair values of these instruments approximate their respective carrying values at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. See Note 4 for discussion of our derivative, Note 5 for discussion of our lease obligations and Note 6 for discussion of our equity based compensation instruments.
The Company has established a hierarchy to measure our financial instruments at fair value, which requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources, whereas unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own market assumptions, which are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. The hierarchy defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity but rather through particular valuation techniques.

From time to time, the Company invests in money market funds and other Level 1 cash and cash equivalent investments. For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company earned $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively in interest income. Interest income is included within interest expense, net on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
