REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of RH
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RH and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 1, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 1, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 1. 2025 and February 3, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended February 1. 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 1, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity, and the computation of net income per share for such instruments and contracts in fiscal 2022.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions .
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies
PART II — FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FORM 10-K | 65
Table of Contents
and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Determination of the Classification of New Real Estate Lease Contracts
As described in Notes 3 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, certain of the Company’s real estate leases are classified as finance leases. Leases that do not meet the definition of a finance lease are considered operating leases. For the year ended February 1, 2025, lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations - net of lease terminations totaled $102.4 million related to operating leases and $85.1 million related to finance leases, of which a significant portion of the operating and finance leases relates to new real estate leases. Lease characteristics that management evaluates to determine lease classification include, but are not limited to, the reasonably certain lease term, incremental borrowing rate of the leased asset, and fair value of the leased asset.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the determination of the classification of new real estate lease contracts is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when determining the classification of new real estate lease contracts based on its evaluation of the lease characteristics; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence related to the determination of the classification of new real estate lease contracts and management’s significant assumptions related to the reasonably certain lease term, incremental borrowing rate of the leased asset, and fair value of the leased asset; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to lease accounting, including controls over management’s determination of the classification of new real estate lease contracts based on the lease characteristics. These procedures also included, among others (i) reading certain new real estate lease contracts; (ii) testing management’s process for determining the classification of new real estate lease contracts based on the lease characteristics; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by management; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to the reasonably certain lease term, incremental borrowing rate of the leased asset, and fair value of the leased asset. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to the reasonably certain lease term, incremental borrowing rate of the leased asset, and fair value of the leased asset involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the Company; (ii) consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions related to the incremental borrowing rate of the leased asset and fair value of the leased asset .

RH
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1—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 February 1, 2025, we operated a total of 68 RH Galleries and 40 RH Outlet stores, one RH Guesthouse, one RH Interior Design Office and 14 Waterworks Showrooms throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium and Spain. We also have sourcing operations in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
NOTE 2—ORGANIZATION
Our company was formed on August 18, 2011 and capitalized on September 2, 2011 as a holding company for the purpose 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. 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.
NOTE 3—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The 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 (refer to Note 7— Variable Interest Entities ). Accordingly, all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated through the consolidation process.
Fiscal Years
Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. As a result, our fiscal year may include 53 weeks. Our fiscal years ended February 1, 2025 (“fiscal 2024”) and January 28, 2023 (“fiscal 2022”) consisted of 52 weeks. Our fiscal year ended February 3, 2024 (“fiscal 2023”) consisted of 53 weeks.
Use of Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our 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 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 consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

PART II — FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents
Concentration of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash and cash equivalent accounts in high-quality financial institutions. The amount of cash and cash equivalents held with certain financial institutions exceeds government-insured limits. We perform ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit our concentration of credit risk.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists primarily of receivables from our credit card processors for sales transactions, receivables related to our Contract business and other miscellaneous receivables. Accounts receivable is presented net of allowance for expected credit losses of $ 4.4 million and $ 3.2 million as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively. The allowance for expected credit losses is determined by considering a number of factors, including the length of time amounts are past due and the party’s financial condition and ability to pay the obligations.
Merchandise Inventories
Our merchandise inventories are comprised of finished goods and are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a weighted-average cost method and net realizable value adjusted periodically for current market conditions. Net realizable value requires judgments that may significantly affect the ending inventory valuation, as well as gross margin. We adjust our inventory reserves for net realizable value and obsolescence (including excess and slow-moving inventory) based on current and anticipated demand trends, merchandise aging reports, specific product identification, estimates of future retail sales prices and historical results.
In addition, we estimate and accrue for inventory shrinkage throughout the year as a percentage of shipped sales for the direct channels, and as a percentage of cost of goods sold for the outlet business, based on historical shrinkage results and current inventory levels. Actual shrinkage is recorded throughout the year based upon periodic physical inventory counts. Actual inventory shrinkage and obsolescence can vary from estimates due to various factors, including the volume of inventory movement and execution against loss prevention initiatives in our distribution centers, home delivery center locations, off-site storage locations and with our third-party transportation providers.
Our inventory reserves were $ 35 million and $ 46 million as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively. During fiscal 2022, we reserved for certain inventory of $ 11 million that was not considered saleable. During fiscal 2024, we disposed of such inventory.
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 between 30 days and 60 days . There are no assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided under the Financing Program.
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 consolidated balance sheets and associated payments are included within cash provided by operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Our obligations and activity under the Financing Program consisted of the following:

Product Recalls
When necessary, we initiate product recalls for certain of our products, as well as adjust accruals related to certain product recalls previously initiated due to changes in estimates based on customer response and vendors and insurance recoveries. The product recall accrual was $ 0.7 million and $ 3.8 million as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively, and is included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses primarily represent the costs associated with our catalog mailings, which we refer to as Sourcebooks, as well as website and print advertising. Total advertising expense, which is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income, was $ 122 million, $ 107 million and $ 71 million in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively. Our advertising expenses may vary due to the timing and volume of our Sourcebook circulation.
Capitalized Catalog Costs
Capitalized catalog costs consist primarily of third-party incremental direct costs to prepare, print and distribute our Sourcebooks, which are capitalized and recognized as expense upon the delivery of the Sourcebooks to customers. In the case of multiple printings of a Sourcebook, the creative costs are expensed in full upon the initial delivery of Sourcebooks to customers.
We had $ 30 million and $ 28 million of capitalized catalog costs as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively, which are included in prepaid expense and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Website and Print Advertising
Website and print advertising expenses, which include e-commerce advertising, web creative content and direct marketing activities, such as print media, radio and other media advertising, are expensed as incurred or upon the release of the content or the initial advertisement.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, generally using the following useful lives:
CATEGORY OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
USEFUL LIFE
Building and building improvements
40 to 55 years
Machinery, equipment and aircraft
3 to 10 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment
3 to 7 years
Computer software
3 to 10 years
The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the reasonably certain lease term . The cost of built-to-suit assets are depreciated over the term of the useful life of the asset.
We expense all internal-use software and website development costs incurred in the preliminary project stage and capitalize certain direct costs associated with the development and purchase of internal-use software or website development costs, including external costs of materials and services and internal payroll costs related to the software project, as “computer software” within property and equipment.
Interest is capitalized on construction in progress and software projects during the period in which expenditures have been made and activities are in progress to prepare the asset for its intended use. We capitalized interest of $ 8.7 million, $ 5.6 million and $ 4.9 million in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively.
Land purchases are recorded at cost and are non-depreciable assets.

Cloud Computing Costs
We incur costs to implement cloud computing arrangements that are hosted by third parties. Cloud computing costs are presented net of accumulated amortization of $ 30 million and $ 19 million as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively. Such costs are capitalized during the application development phase and are included in prepaid expense and other current assets or other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Once a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, we amortize the costs on a straight-line basis over the contractual term of the cloud computing arrangement, which is typically one to seven years .
Lease Accounting
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. The initial lease terms of our real estate leases generally range from ten to fifteen years , and certain leases contain renewal options for up to an additional 25 years , the exercise of which is at our sole discretion. We also lease certain equipment with lease terms generally ranging from two to seven years . Our lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.
We account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for real estate leases, and for all other asset classes we account for the components separately. We determine the lease classification and begin to recognize lease costs upon lease commencement when we have access to, or control of, the asset, which generally occurs for our newly-constructed Design Galleries upon Gallery opening and upon possession for all other locations.
We sublease certain real estate locations to third parties under operating leases and recognize rental income received on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which is recorded as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income.
Lease arrangements may require the landlord to provide tenant allowances directly to us. Standard tenant allowances received from landlords are recorded as cash and cash equivalents with an offset recorded in lease right-of-use assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Tenant allowances that are reasonably certain to be received under finance leases subsequent to lease commencement are reflected as a reduction of both the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on the consolidated balance sheets at the commencement date.
In the case of leases with associated construction, tenant allowances are provided for us to design and build the leased asset. Tenant allowances received from landlords during the construction phase of a leased asset and prior to lease commencement are recorded as cash and cash equivalents with an offset recorded in other non-current assets (to the extent we have incurred related capital expenditure for construction costs) or in other current liabilities (to the extent that payments are received prior to capital construction expenditures by us) on the consolidated balance sheets. After the leased asset is constructed and the lease commences, we reclassify the tenant allowance from other non-current assets or other current liabilities to lease right-of-use assets on the consolidated balance sheets, and such allowances are amortized over the reasonably certain lease term.
Determination of the Classification of New Real Estate Lease Contracts
Certain of our real estate and equipment leases are classified as finance leases. Lease characteristics that we evaluate to determine lease classification include, but are not limited to, the reasonably certain lease term, incremental borrowing rate of the leased asset and fair value of the leased asset. Additionally, the economic life of the leased asset impacts the lease classification, particularly related to historical buildings that tend to have longer lives. Lease related assets under such classification are included in “finance lease right-of-use assets” within property and equipment—net on the consolidated balance sheets.
Leases that do not meet the definition of a finance lease are considered operating leases. Lease related assets classified as operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Reasonably Certain Lease Term
In recognizing the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, we utilize the lease term for which we are reasonably certain to use the underlying asset, including consideration of options to extend or terminate the lease. At lease commencement, we evaluate whether we are reasonably certain to exercise available options based on consideration of a variety of economic factors and the circumstances related to the leased asset. Factors considered include, but are not limited to, (i) the contractual terms, including renewal periods compared to estimated market rates, (ii) the uniqueness or importance of the asset or its location, (iii) the potential costs of obtaining an alternative asset, (iv) the potential costs of relocating or ceasing use of the asset, including the consideration of leasehold improvements and other invested capital, and (v) any potential tax consequences.
PART II — FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FORM 10-K | 77
Table of Contents
The determination of the reasonably certain lease term affects the inclusion of rental payments utilized in the incremental borrowing rate calculations, the results of the lease classification test, and consideration of certain assets held for sale or planned for sale-leaseback. The reasonably certain lease term may materially impact our financial position related to certain Design Galleries or distribution center facilities which typically have greater lease payments. Although the above factors are considered in our analysis, the assessment involves subjectivity considering our strategy, expected future events and market conditions. While we believe our estimates and judgments in determining the lease term are reasonable, future events may occur which may require us to reassess such estimates and judgments.
Leases, or lease extensions, with a term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, and we recognize lease expense as incurred over the lease term.
Lease Payments
The majority of our real estate lease agreements include minimum rent payments that are subject to stated lease escalations over the lease term and eligible renewal periods. These stated fixed payments, through the reasonably certain lease term, are included in our measurement of the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities upon lease commencement.
Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels. Additionally, certain lease agreements include rental payments based solely on a percentage of retail sales. Due to the variable and unpredictable nature of such payments, we do not recognize a lease right-of-use asset and lease liability related to such payments. These estimated variable rental payments that are contingent based on a percentage of retail sales are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets in the period they are incurred and until such payments are made, and the related lease cost is included in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of income. In addition, many of our real estate leases require landlord reimbursement for costs such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance. Such costs are typically subject to an annual reconciliation process and are included as variable lease payments in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income based on our accounting policy.
We have a small group of real estate leases that include rental payments periodically adjusted for inflation (e.g., based on the consumer price index). We include these variable payments in the initial measurement of the lease right-of-use asset and lease liability according to the index or rate at the commencement date and incorporate adjustments to rental payments in future periods if such increases have a minimum rent escalation (e.g., floor). Changes due to differences between the variable lease payments estimated at lease commencement and actual amounts incurred are recognized in the consolidated statements of income in the period such costs are incurred. For finance leases, this expense is included in interest expense—net on the consolidated statements of income. For operating leases, this expense is included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income based on our accounting policy.
Incremental Borrowing Rate
As our real estate leases and most of our equipment leases do not include a stated or implicit interest rate, we determine the discount rate for each lease based upon the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) in order to calculate the present value of lease payments at the commencement date. The IBR is computed as the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the total lease payments in a similar economic environment. We utilize our outstanding debt facilities, including our asset based credit facility or our Term Loan Credit Agreement, as the basis for determining the applicable IBR for each lease. We estimate the IBR for each lease primarily by reference to yield rates on debt issuances by companies of a similar credit rating, the weighted-average lease term and adjustments for differences between the yield rates and the remaining actual term of the credit facility or Term Loan Credit Agreement. In determining the yield rates, for newly constructed Design Galleries or significant distribution centers, we utilize market information on the lease commencement date and, for all other leases, we utilize market information as of the beginning of the quarter in which the lease commences.
Fair Value
We determine the fair value of the underlying asset, considering lease components such as land and building, for purposes of determining the lease classification and allocating our contractual rental payments to the lease components. The fair value of the underlying asset and lease components also impact the evaluation and accounting for assets held for sale and sale-leaseback transactions. The fair value assessments may materially impact our financial position related to certain Design Galleries or distribution center facilities.
78 | FORM 10-K
PART II — FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents
The determination of fair value requires subjectivity and estimates, including the use of multiple valuation techniques and uncertain inputs, such as market price per square foot and assumed capitalization rates or the replacement cost of the assets, where applicable. Where real estate valuation expertise is required, we obtain independent third-party appraisals to determine the fair value of the underlying asset and lease components.
Construction Related Activities
We are often involved in the construction of leased stores for our new Design Galleries. Upon construction commencement, we evaluate whether or not we, as lessee, control the asset being constructed and, depending on the extent to which we are involved, we may be the “deemed owner” of the leased asset for accounting purposes during the construction period under a build-to-suit arrangement.
If we are the “deemed owner” for accounting purposes during the construction period, upon construction commencement we are required to capitalize (i) costs incurred by us and (ii) the cash and non-cash assets contributed by the landlord for construction as property and equipment on our consolidated balance sheets as “build-to-suit property”, with an offsetting financing obligation under build-to-suit lease transactions. The contributions by the landlord toward construction, including the building, existing site improvements at construction commencement and any amounts paid by the landlord for construction, are included within the non-cash section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. Over the lease term, these non-cash additions to property and equipment do not impact our cash outflows, nor do they impact net income on the consolidated statements of income.
Upon completion of the construction project where we are the deemed owner, we perform a sale-leaseback analysis to determine if we can derecognize the build-to-suit asset and corresponding financing obligation. If the asset and liability cannot be derecognized, we account for the agreement as a debt-like financing arrangement.
If we are not the “deemed owner” for accounting purposes during the construction period, such lease is classified as either an operating or finance lease upon lease commencement. During the construction period and prior to lease commencement, any capital amounts contributed by us toward the construction of the leased asset (excluding normal leasehold improvements, which are recorded within property and equipment—net) are recorded as “Landlord assets under construction” within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Upon completion of the construction project, and upon lease commencement, we reclassify amounts of the construction project determined to be the landlord asset to lease right-of-use assets on the consolidated balance sheets based on the lease classification determined at lease commencement.
Sale-Leaseback Activities
We occasionally enter into sale-leaseback transactions to finance certain property acquisitions and capital expenditures, pursuant to which we sell the property to a third-party and agree to lease the property back for a certain period of time. To determine whether the transfer of the property should be accounted for as a sale, we evaluate whether we have transferred control to the third-party in accordance with the guidance set forth in Topic 606.
If the transfer of the asset is a sale at market terms, we recognize the transaction price for the sale based on the cash proceeds received, derecognize the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognize a gain or loss in the consolidated statements of income for any difference between the carrying value of the asset and the transaction price. We then account for the leaseback in accordance with our lease accounting policy.
If the transfer of the asset is determined not to be a sale, we account for the transaction as a debt-like financing arrangement. We continue to present the asset within property and equipment—net on the consolidated balance sheets and recognize a non-current obligation on the consolidated balance sheets for the transaction price, with the financial liability measured in accordance with other applicable GAAP.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets reflect the value assigned to tradenames, trademarks, domain names and other intangible assets, including patents. The cost of purchasing transferable liquor licenses in jurisdictions with a limited number of authorized liquor licenses is capitalized as an intangible asset. We do not amortize our intangible assets, other than patents, as we define the life of these assets as indefinite. Patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the patent, which generally is fifteen years . As of February 1, 2025, intangible assets are reported net of $ 0.1 million of patent amortization.

Impairment
Goodwill
Goodwill is initially recorded as of the acquisition date, is measured as any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and is assigned to the applicable reporting unit. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or a business unit one level below that operating segment, for which discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed. As of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, goodwill relates to the RH Segment only.
Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is subject to impairment testing at least annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Conditions that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in customer demand or business climate that could affect the value of an asset; general economic conditions, such as increasing Treasury rates or unexpected changes in gross domestic product growth; a change in our market share; budget-to-actual performance and consistency of operating margins and capital expenditures; a product recall or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; or changes in management or key personnel.
We perform our annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth fiscal quarter. We first perform a qualitative assessment to evaluate goodwill for potential impairment by evaluating events and circumstances relevant to the reporting unit to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, based on that assessment, it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is below its carrying value, a quantitative impairment test is necessary to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. We will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill of the reporting unit.
During fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, we reviewed the RH Segment reporting unit goodwill for impairment by assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. Based on the qualitative tests performed in each fiscal year, we determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount in any fiscal year, and therefore did not perform a quantitative test or recognize goodwill impairment.
Tradenames, Trademarks and Other Intangible Assets
We annually evaluate whether tradenames, trademarks and other intangible assets continue to have an indefinite life. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and may be reviewed more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. Conditions that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in customer demand or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, a product recall or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator.
We qualitatively assess indefinite-lived intangible assets to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset is less than its carrying amount. If tradenames, trademarks and other intangible assets are not qualitatively assessed or if such intangible assets are qualitatively assessed and it is determined it is more likely than not that the asset’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, an impairment review is performed by comparing the carrying value to the estimated fair value, determined using a discounted cash flow methodology, which requires judgments that may significantly affect the ending asset valuation. Factors used in the valuation of intangible assets with indefinite lives include, but are not limited to, our plans for future operations, brand initiatives, recent results of operations and projected future cash flows.
In the event we quantitatively assess a reporting unit’s indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment, we perform an impairment test which utilizes the discounted cash flow methodology under the relief-from-royalty method. Under the relief-from-royalty method, significant assumptions include the forecasted future revenues and the estimated royalty rate, expressed as a percentage of revenues.
During fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, we qualitatively assessed our intangible assets, including the RH Segment indefinite-lived intangible assets and the Waterworks tradename, for impairment and determined it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the assets was less than their carrying amount. Based on the qualitative tests performed in each fiscal year, we did not perform quantitative impairment tests in any year and did not recognize any impairment with respect to the assets.

Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and lease right-of-use assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Conditions that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in customer demand or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, change in intended use of an asset, a product recall or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining life of the primary asset is less than the carrying value, we recognize a loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and the fair value, usually determined by the estimated discounted cash flow analysis of the asset or asset group. The asset group is defined as the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available and largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets, which for our stores is generally the individual Gallery level.
Since there is typically no active market for our long-lived assets, we estimate fair values based on the expected future cash flows of the asset or asset group, using a discount rate commensurate with the related risk. The estimate of fair value requires judgments that may significantly affect the ending asset valuation. Future cash flows are estimated considering the highest and best use of the assets, which may be based on a number of factors, including gallery-level historical results, current trends, operating cash flow projections or market-based rental rates. Our estimates are subject to uncertainty and may be affected by a number of factors outside our control, including general economic conditions and the competitive environment. While we believe our estimates and judgments about future cash flows are reasonable, future impairment charges may be required if the expected cash flow estimates, as projected, do not occur or if events change requiring us to revise our estimates.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, we assessed two Design Galleries in Germany for impairment. We first assessed the recoverability of the assets based on an undiscounted cash flow model. Since the assets were not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we determined the long-lived asset impairment as the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeded the related fair value over the respective remaining lease terms, both of which end in 2027. As a result of this analysis, we recognized long-lived asset impairment charges of $ 19 million, comprising lease right-of-use asset impairment of $ 13 million and property and equipment impairment of $ 5.6 million, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income. Except as noted above, we did not record impairments for long-lived assets at the individual retail location level in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 or fiscal 2022.
We also review our capital expenditures for Galleries under construction and recognize impairment charges when there is a change in the intended use of an asset, including asset disposals. We recognized long-lived asset impairment charges related to such construction expenditures of $ 18 million, $ 4.7 million and $ 13 million in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively.
From time to time, we record impairment for certain corporate assets and other long-lived assets resulting from changes to the expected use of the assets and an update to both the timing and the amount of future estimated lease related cash flows based on present market conditions. Such impairment charges are included in s elling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income. We did not record impairment charges of corporate assets or other long-lived assets in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 or fiscal 2022.
Variable Interest Entities (VIE)
Our consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and the financial position of subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest as if the consolidated group were a single economic entity. When we have a variable interest in another legal entity, we evaluate whether that legal entity is within the scope of the VIE model and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We evaluate a legal entity for consolidation under the VIE model if no scope exceptions apply and, by design, the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest.
We consolidate a VIE if our involvement indicates that we are the primary beneficiary. We are the primary beneficiary of a VIE if we have both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The determination of the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance requires judgement and is impacted by numerous factors, including the purpose of the VIE, rights and obligations of the variable interest holders, mechanisms for the resolution of disputes among the variable interest holders and other agreements with the legal entity and its variable interest holders.

We account for investments in VIEs that are limited liability companies where we are not the primary beneficiary using the equity method of accounting.
We evaluate our relationships with our VIEs on an ongoing basis to determine whether we continue to be the primary beneficiary of our consolidated VIEs, or whether we have become the primary beneficiary of the VIEs we do not consolidate.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests
We consolidate the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of real estate development limited liability companies (a “Member LLC”) in our consolidated financial statements when we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We account for each acquisition of our controlling interest in a Member LLC as an asset acquisition since substantially all of the fair value of the net assets of each VIE is concentrated in its real estate assets.
The operating agreements of each Member LLC specify distributions from operations and upon certain events or liquidation that may be disproportionate to the members’ relative ownership percentages. Distributions are made to the members in proportion to, and in repayment of, various categories of capital contributions and certain preferred returns, after which distributions are made to the members in proportion to their membership interests. To reflect the substance of these arrangements, we measure attributions to noncontrolling interests in the consolidated variable interest entities using the distribution provisions set out in the operating agreements for each Member LLC. This is a balance sheet oriented approach that calculates changes in the noncontrolling interest holders’ claim to the net assets of each Member LLC from period to period to determine the income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, which are recognized in the consolidated statements of income.
In certain instances, we are required to recognize non-cash compensation expense related to equity interests given to the noncontrolling interest holder of consolidated VIEs. There are no explicit or implicit vesting conditions associated with these deemed compensation arrangements. Equity-classified compensation arrangements are measured upon the noncontrolling interest holders being admitted as a member of the VIEs, and liability-classified compensation arrangements are measured at the end of each reporting period. The fair-value-based measure of the equity interests is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that requires the input of subjective assumptions regarding the future cash flows of the VIE, including consideration of future expected debt financing and the expected volatility of the equity interests. We determined these assumptions based on entity specific considerations of (i) the primary expected future cash flows of property rents and expected debt and debt service payments, (ii) discount rates appropriate for the economic environment and anticipated future interest rates and (iii) expected volatility based on historical observed stock prices of publicly traded peer companies, including those involved in real estate development.
Equity Method Investments
For certain of our investments in VIEs where we are not the managing member and do not have the ability to liquidate the VIE or otherwise remove the managing member, we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE and therefore are not the primary beneficiary. We account for such investments using the equity method of accounting. Our investments are presented as equity method investments on the consolidated balance sheets and our proportionate share of earnings or losses of the equity method investments are included in share of equity method investments loss on the consolidated statements of income. We do not elect the fair value option and the equity method investments are initially measured at cost.
As of our initial investment date, we determine the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities held by our equity method investments for purposes of determining whether or not we have basis differences arising in connection with our investment. The determination of fair value of the underlying real estate assets requires subjectivity and estimates, including the use of various valuation techniques and Level 3 inputs, such as market price per square foot and assumed capitalization rates or the replacement cost of the assets, where applicable. If specialized expertise is required we obtain independent third-party appraisals to determine the fair value of the underlying assets and liabilities.

Table of Contents
The operating agreements for each equity method investment specify distributions from operations and upon liquidation that may be disproportionate to the members’ relative ownership percentages. Distributions are made to the members in proportion to, and in repayment of, various categories of capital contributions plus certain preferred returns, after which distributions are made to the members in proportion to their membership interests. To reflect the substance of these arrangements, we measure our proportionate share of the earnings or losses of each equity method investment using the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method, which is a balance sheet oriented approach to determine our share of earnings or losses that reflects changes in our claims to the net assets of each equity method investment. Due to the presence of basis differences and liquidation preferences, we use the recast financial statements approach in applying the HLBV method whereby we recast the financial statements of each entity to reflect our perspective or basis (thus eliminating the basis differences) when determining our share of the earnings or losses. Our proportionate share of earnings or losses of the equity method investments follow the entities’ distribution priorities, which may change upon the achievement of certain investment return thresholds. Our equity method investment balance is subsequently adjusted for our share of earnings and losses, cash contributions and distributions.
We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable. The difference between the carrying value of the equity method investment and its estimated fair value is recognized as an impairment charge when the loss in value is deemed other than temporary.
Deferred Financing Fees and Debt Issuance Costs
Deferred financing fees related to the asset based credit facility are included in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized utilizing the straight-line method. Debt issuance costs are recorded as a contra-liability and are presented net against the respective debt balance on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized utilizing the effective interest method over the expected life of the respective debt. Amortization of deferred financing fees and debt issuance costs are included in interest expense—net on the consolidated statements of income.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue and the related cost of goods sold when a customer obtains control of the merchandise, which is when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain the benefits from the merchandise. Revenue recognized for merchandise delivered via the home delivery channel is recognized upon delivery. Revenue recognized for merchandise delivered via all other delivery channels is recognized upon shipment. Revenue from “cash-and-carry” store sales are recognized at the point of sale. Discounts or other accommodations provided to customers are accounted for as a reduction of net revenues on the consolidated statements of income.
We recognize shipping and handling fees as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the merchandise to customers. We apply this policy consistently across all of our distribution channels. The related costs of shipping and handling activities are accrued for in the same period as revenue is recognized. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of income.
Sales tax or value added tax (VAT) collected is not recognized as revenue but is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets as it is ultimately remitted to governmental authorities.
Our customers may return purchased items for a refund in accordance with our policies. Projected merchandise returns, which are often resalable merchandise, are reserved on a gross basis based on historical return rates. The allowance for sales returns is presented within other current liabilities and the estimated value of the right of return asset for merchandise is presented within prepaid expense and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Merchandise exchanges of the same product and price are not considered merchandise returns and, therefore, are excluded when calculating the sales returns reserve.

Deferred Revenue and Customer Deposits
We defer revenue associated with merchandise delivered via the home delivery channel, which is included as deferred revenue and customer deposits on the consolidated balance sheets while in-transit. Deferred revenue also includes the unrecognized portion of the annual RH Members Program fee. New membership fees are recorded as deferred revenue when collected from customers and recognized as revenue based on expected product revenues over the annual membership period, based on historical trends of sales to members. Membership renewal fees are recorded as deferred revenue when collected from customers and are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the membership period, or one year .
Customer deposits represent payments made by customers on custom orders. At the time of order placement, we collect deposits for all custom orders equivalent to 50 % of the purchase price. Custom order deposits are recognized as revenue when the customer obtains control of the merchandise.
We expect that substantially all of the deferred revenue and customer deposits as of February 1, 2025 will be recognized within the next six months as the performance obligations are satisfied, and membership fees will be recognized over the membership period.
Gift Cards
We sell gift cards to our customers in our Galleries and through our websites and Sourcebooks. Such gift cards and merchandise credits do not have expiration dates. We defer revenue when cash payments are received in advance of performance for unsatisfied obligations related to our gift cards. During fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, we recognized $ 20 million, $ 24 million and $ 21 million, respectively, of revenue related to previous deferrals of gift cards. Customer liabilities related to gift cards were $ 20 million and $ 25 million as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively.
We recognize breakage income associated with gift cards proportional to actual gift card redemptions in net revenues on the consolidated statements of income.
We expect that approximately 75 percent of the remaining gift card liabilities will be recognized when the gift cards are redeemed by customers.
Self-Insurance
We maintain insurance coverage for significant exposures as well as those risks that, by law, must be insured. In the case of our health care coverage for our employees, we have a managed self-insurance program related to claims filed. Expenses related to this self-insured program are computed on an actuarial basis, based on claims experience, regulatory requirements, an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR”) and other relevant factors. The projections involved in this process are subject to uncertainty related to the timing and amount of claims filed, levels of IBNR, fluctuations in health care costs and changes to regulatory requirements. We had liabilities of $ 4.7 million and $ 3.2 million related to health care coverage as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively.
We carry workers’ compensation insurance subject to a deductible amount for which we are responsible for each claim. We had liabilities of $ 6.1 million and $ 5.6 million related to workers’ compensation claims, primarily for claims that do not meet the per-incident deductible, as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation
We recognize the fair value of stock-based awards as compensation expense over the requisite service period within selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of income.
For service-only awards, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period for the fair value of awards that actually vest. Fair value for restricted stock units is valued using the closing price of our stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option award granted under our award plan is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model (“OPM”) which requires the input of assumptions regarding the expected term, expected volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. We elected to calculate the expected term of the option awards using the “simplified method.” This election was made based on the lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. Under the “simplified” calculation method, the expected term is calculated as an average of the vesting period and the contractual life of the options. We calculate expected volatility using a blended approach based on equal weighting of historical volatility and implied volatility.
For awards with performance-based criteria, compensation expense is recognized on an accelerated basis over the requisite service period. The fair value of each performance-based option award granted is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model that requires the input of subjective assumptions regarding the future exercise behavior, expected volatility and a discount for illiquidity. We determined these assumptions based on consideration of (i) future exercise behavior based on the historical observed exercise pattern of the award recipient, (ii) expected volatility based on our historical observed common stock prices measured over the full trading history of our common stock and implied volatility based on 180-day average trading prices of our common stock and (iii) a discount for illiquidity estimated using the Finnerty method.
Refer to Note 3— Consolidated Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests for discussion of compensation expense related to noncontrolling interests recognized in fiscal 2022.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes the direct cost of purchased merchandise; inventory shrinkage, inventory reserves and write-downs and lower of cost or net realizable value reserves; inbound freight; all freight costs to get merchandise to our retail locations and outlets; design, buying and allocation costs; occupancy costs related to retail and outlet operations and our supply chain, such as rent and common area maintenance for our leases; depreciation and amortization of leasehold improvements, equipment and other assets in our retail locations, outlets and distribution centers. In addition, cost of goods sold includes all logistics costs associated with shipping product to our customers.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses include all operating costs not included in cost of goods sold. These expenses include payroll and payroll-related expenses, retail related expenses other than occupancy, and expenses related to the operations at our corporate headquarters, including rent, utilities, depreciation and amortization, credit card fees and marketing expense, which primarily includes Sourcebook production, mailing and print advertising costs. All retail pre-opening costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and are expensed as incurred.
Interest Expense
Interest expense primarily relates to interest incurred on our term loans, asset based credit facility and finance lease arrangements. Refer to Note 12— Credit Facilities and Note 10— Leases. Interest income primarily represents interest received related to our cash and cash equivalent balances.

Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is computed as net income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed as net income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, including additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect had been issued using the if-converted method for convertible senior notes prior to extinguishment and the treasury stock method for all other instruments. Potential dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The if-converted method is applicable for the convertible senior notes beginning in fiscal 2022 due to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 —Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity .
Treasury Stock
We record our purchases of treasury stock at cost as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) in the consolidated financial statements. Upon retirement of treasury stock, we allocate the excess of the purchase price over par value to additional paid-in capital subject to certain limitations with any remaining purchase price allocated to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) . The cost basis of treasury stock includes excise tax on share repurchases initiated on and after January 1, 2023 and any outstanding balance of excise tax is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, we generally take into account all expected future events then known to it, other than changes in the tax law or rates which have not yet been enacted and which are not permitted to be considered. Accordingly, we may record a valuation allowance to reduce our net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The determination as to whether a deferred tax asset will be realized is made on a jurisdictional basis and is based upon our best estimate of the recoverability of our net deferred tax assets. Future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning are considered in determining the amount of the valuation allowance, and the amount of the allowance is subject to adjustment in the future. Specifically, in the event we were to determine that it is not more likely than not able to realize our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would decrease income in the period such determination is made. This allowance does not alter our ability to utilize the underlying tax net operating loss and credit carryforwards in the future, the utilization of which is limited to achieving future taxable income.
The accounting standard for uncertainty in income taxes prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements generally result in an increase in liability for income taxes payable or a reduction of an income tax refund receivable, or a reduction in a deferred tax asset or an increase in a deferred tax liability, or both. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense (benefit) on the consolidated statements of income.
Foreign Currency Matters
The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is generally the local currency of the country in which the subsidiary operates. Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the consolidated balance sheets, and revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange for the period. The related translation gains and losses are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive loss section on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit), and net gain (loss) from foreign currency translation , which includes intercompany gains and losses, is presented net of tax on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Transaction gains and losses resulting from intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature are also classified as accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets.
Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency are included in other expense—net on the consolidated statements of income. Such foreign exchange gains and losses are due to the net impact of changes in foreign exchange rates as compared to the U.S. dollar from our third-party transactions denominated in foreign currencies, and intercompany loans held in U.S. dollars by our international subsidiaries other than those of a long-term investment nature, where repayment is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future.

New Accounting Standards or Updates Adopted
Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures . This new guidance is designed to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a retrospective basis.
We have adopted this ASU in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 on a retrospective basis. Refer to Note 20— Segment Reporting .
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 updated standard, we will apply this guidance in future reporting periods after the guidance is effective to any future arrangements we enter into that meet the definition of a joint venture.
Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . This new guidance is designed to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments of this update are related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation as well as income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Income Statement: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) . This new guidance is designed to improve financial reporting by requiring public business entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods, including amounts and qualitative descriptions of inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization, among other requirements. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) : Clarifying the Effective Date , which clarifies that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The guidance is required to be adopted on a prospective basis and early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact that adopting this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 7—VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests
In fiscal 2022, we formed eight privately-held limited liability companies (each, a “Member LLC” and collectively, the “Member LLCs” or the “consolidated variable interest entities”) with a third-party real estate development partner affiliated with the managing member of the Aspen LLCs (as defined in “Equity Method Investments” below) for real estate development activities related to our Gallery transformation and global expansion strategies.
In December 2024, we acquired 50 percent of the membership interests of one of the Member LLCs from the same development partner for no consideration. As a result, we own 100 percent of the membership interests and this Member LLC is no longer a variable interest entity as of February 1, 2025. No distribution to the former member of this entity was required as a result of the transaction.
As of February 1, 2025, of the remaining seven Member LLCs, we hold a 50 percent membership interest in six of the Member LLCs, and the remaining noncontrolling interest of 50 percent in each Member LLC is held by the same development partner. In one Member LLC, we hold approximately 75 percent membership interest with the remaining noncontrolling interest of approximately 25 percent held by the same development partner as of February 1, 2025.
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. Six locations represent current or future RH locations and are included in the RH Segment, three of which are operational as of February 1, 2025. One location represents property, the purpose of which is use by RH or others related to developing, operating and selling such property, and is part of the Real Estate segment.

PART II — FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents
In fiscal 2022, we recognized compensation expense of $ 4.5 million related to the equity interests given to the noncontrolling interest holders of the consolidated VIEs, of which $ 3.6 million was recorded to additional paid-in capital and $ 0.9 million was recorded to other non-current obligations on the consolidated balance sheets. The additional paid-in capital portion relates to equity-classified compensation arrangements and represents the fair-value-based measure of the equity interests upon the noncontrolling interest holders being admitted as a member of the VIEs. The other non-current obligations portion relates to liability-classified compensation arrangements and represents the fair-value-based measure of the equity interests at the end of the reporting period, which was $ 0.9 million as of both February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024. There are no explicit or implicit vesting conditions associated with these compensation arrangements.
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 February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, 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 in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022.
The carrying amounts and classification of the VIEs’ assets and liabilities included in the consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

(2) Real estate loans are secured by the assets of each respective Member LLC and the associated creditors do not have recourse against RH’s general assets.
On August 3, 2022, a Member LLC as the borrower executed a Secured Promissory Note (the “Secured Promissory Note”) with a third-party in an aggregate principal amount equal to $ 2.0 million with a maturity date of August 1, 2032. On December 1, 2024, the maturity date of the Secured Promissory Note was amended to December 1, 2025. The Secured Promissory Note bears interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to 6.00 % . In December 2024, we acquired the remaining 50 % membership interest of this Member LLC from our development partner, with the result of this entity becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary and not a VIE as of February 1, 2025. Therefore, as of February 1, 2025, the real estate loan is no longer presented as a VIE liability in the table above. The outstanding balance under this debt agreement is included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of February 1, 2025.
On September 9, 2022, a Member LLC as the borrower executed a Promissory Note (the “Promissory Note”) with a third-party bank in an aggregate principal amount equal to $ 16 million with a maturity date of September 9, 2032. The Promissory Note bears interest at a fixed rate per annum equal to 5.37 % until September 15, 2027, on which date the interest rate will reset based on the five-year treasury rate plus 2.00 % , subject to a total interest rate floor of 3.00 % .

Equity Method Investments
Equity method investments primarily represent our membership interests in three privately-held limited liability companies in Aspen, Colorado (each, an “Aspen LLC” and collectively, the “Aspen LLCs” or the “equity method investments”) that were formed for the purpose of acquiring, developing, operating and selling certain real estate projects in Aspen, Colorado. We hold a 50 percent membership interest in two of the Aspen LLCs and a 70 percent membership interest in the third Aspen LLC. The Aspen LLCs are VIEs, however, we are not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs because we do not have the power to direct the activities of each VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Accordingly, we account for these investments using the equity method of accounting. As of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, the aggregate balance of the investment in the Aspen LLCs was $ 124 million and $ 125 million, respectively.
As of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024, $ 3.7 million and $ 3.3 million, respectively, of a promissory notes receivable, inclusive of accrued interest, was outstanding with the managing member or entities affiliated with the managing member for the Aspen LLCs, which promissory notes were included in prepaid expense and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The promissory note related specifically to the Aspen LLCs is expected to be settled in cash and not converted into additional equity investment in the Aspen LLCs.
During fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, we recorded our proportionate share of equity method investments loss of $ 11 million, $ 11 million and $ 2.1 million, respectively, which is included on the consolidated statements of income with a corresponding decrease to the carrying value of equity method investments on the consolidated balance sheets as of February 1, 2025 and February 3, 2024. We did not receive any distributions or have any undistributed earnings of equity method investments in any fiscal year.
We have previously made contractually required contributions to the Aspen LLCs in an aggregate amount of $ 135 million in prior periods. As of February 1, 2025, we have made capital contributions of approximately $ 146 million to the Aspen LLCs. Additionally, Waterworks has membership interests in two European entities that are equity method investments. Our maximum exposure to loss with respect to these equity method investments is the carrying value of the equity method investments as of February 1, 2025.
In March 2025, the Aspen LLC in which we hold a 70 percent interest sold its sole real estate property. Subsequent to the property sale, we received $ 15 million from the Aspen LLC, which consisted of $ 2.9 million for the repayment of its outstanding promissory note to us, including accrued interest (refer to Note 4— Prepaid expenses and other assets ), and a capital distribution of $ 13 million. The capital distribution of $ 13 million represented a return of our contributed capital of $ 7.9 million and a return on investment of $ 4.6 million.

We implemented and completed restructurings in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 that included workforce and expense reductions in order to improve and simplify our organizational structure, streamline certain aspects of our business operations and better position us for further growth. The workforce reduction associated with the initiative included the elimination of numerous leadership and other positions throughout the organization.

NOTE 11—CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES
In June 2018, we issued in a private offering $ 300 million principal amount of 0.00 % convertible senior notes due 2023 and issued an additional $ 35 million principal amount in connection with the overallotment option granted to the initial purchasers as part of the offering (collectively, the “2023 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” and, together with the 2023 Notes, the “Convertible Senior Notes” or the “Notes”).
As of February 1, 2025, there are no remaining obligations under the Convertible Senior Notes.
2023 Notes and 2024 Notes—Bond Hedge and Warrant Terminations and Note Repurchase
Bond Hedge and Warrant Terminations
During fiscal 2022, we entered into agreements with certain financial institutions (collectively, the “Counterparties”) to repurchase all of the warrants issued in connection with the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes at an aggregate purchase price of $ 184 million and $ 203 million, respectively, subject to adjustment for a settlement feature based on pricing formulations linked to the trading price of our common stock over a volume weighted-average price measurement period of two or three days . Upon entering into these agreements, the warrants were reclassified from stockholders’ equity to current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, and accordingly, we recognized a corresponding net loss on the fair value adjustment of the warrants of $ 4.2 million, which is classified within other expense—net on the consolidated statements of income. Upon settlement of these agreements in April 2022, we paid an aggregate of $ 391 million in cash to terminate the warrants.

During fiscal 2022, we entered into agreements with the Counterparties to terminate all of the convertible note bond hedges issued in connection with the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes to receive an aggregate closing price of $ 56 million and $ 180 million, respectively, subject to adjustment for a settlement feature based on pricing formulations linked to the trading price of our common stock over a three day volume weighted-average price measurement period. Upon entering into these agreements, the bond hedges were reclassified from stockholders’ equity to current assets on the consolidated balance sheets, and accordingly, we recognized a corresponding loss on the fair value adjustment of the settlement feature of $ 4.3 million, which is classified within other expense—net on the consolidated statements of income. Upon settlement of these agreements in April 2022, we received an aggregate of $ 232 million in cash for the termination of the bond hedges.
Notes Repurchase
During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we entered into individual privately negotiated transactions with a limited number of sophisticated investors that were holders of the 2023 Notes and/or the 2024 Notes to repurchase in cash $ 45 million and $ 135 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes, respectively (the “Notes Repurchase”). The Notes Repurchase provided for an estimated settlement cost of $ 325 million, subject to adjustment to the final settlement cost for an embedded feature based on pricing formulations linked to the trading price of our common stock over a five day volatility weighted-average price measurement period that ended on April 29, 2022. Upon execution of these agreements, we determined that we had modified the debt substantially and applied an extinguishment accounting model. Accordingly, we derecognized the aggregate principal amount of $ 180 million of the Convertible Senior Notes related to the extinguishment of such notes, and subsequently recognized a new financing liability with a fair value of $ 325 million. An embedded derivative related to the conversion feature was bifurcated from the new financing liability and separately recognized with an initial fair value of $ 278 million, with the remaining $ 47 million classified as debt and recognized at its amortized cost basis. Accordingly, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 146 million upon the execution of these agreements, inclusive of acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $ 1.0 million. Upon the remeasurement of the amount owed to the holders in terms of the embedded feature, a total of $ 314 million was paid in cash to the holders, representing the combined carrying value of the debt liability of $ 47 million, as well as the fair value of the bifurcated embedded equity derivative upon settlement of $ 267 million. Accordingly, we recognized a gain on the fair value adjustment of the bifurcated embedded equity derivative of $ 11 million, which is classified within other expense — net on the consolidated statements of income.
During fiscal 2022, we entered into additional individual privately negotiated transactions with a limited number of sophisticated investors that were holders of the 2023 Notes and/or the 2024 Notes to repurchase in cash $ 18 million and $ 39 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes, respectively (the “Additional Notes Repurchase”). The Additional Notes Repurchase provided for an estimated settlement cost of $ 80 million, subject to adjustment to the final settlement cost for an embedded feature based on pricing formulations linked to the trading price of our common stock over a one day volatility weighted-average price measurement period occurring in July 2022. Upon execution of these agreements, we determined that we had modified the debt substantially and applied an extinguishment accounting model. Accordingly, we derecognized the aggregate principal amount of $ 57 million of the Convertible Senior Notes related to the extinguishment of such notes, and subsequently recognized a new financing liability with a fair value of $ 80 million. An embedded derivative related to the conversion feature was bifurcated from the new financing liability and separately recognized with an initial fair value of $ 55 million, with the remaining $ 25 million classified as debt and recognized at its amortized cost basis. Accordingly, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $ 23 million upon the execution of these agreements, inclusive of acceleration of amortization of debt issuance costs of $ 0.3 million. Upon the remeasurement of the amount owed to the holders in terms of the embedded feature, a total of $ 82 million was paid in cash to the holders, representing the combined carrying value of the debt liability of $ 25 million, as well as the fair value of the bifurcated embedded equity derivative upon settlement of $ 57 million. Accordingly, we recognized a loss on the fair value adjustment of the bifurcated embedded equity derivative of $ 1.5 million, which is classified within other expense—net on the consolidated statements of income.

$ 335 million 0.00 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2023
Prior to March 15, 2023 , the 2023 Notes were convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after September 30, 2018, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130 % of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $ 1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes for such trading day was less than 98 % of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. The first condition was satisfied from the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2020 through the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2022 and, accordingly, holders were eligible to convert their 2023 Notes beginning in the calendar quarter ended December 31, 2020 and were eligible to convert their 2023 Notes through March 15, 2023 . On and after March 15, 2023, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders were able to convert all or a portion of their 2023 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
During fiscal 2022, holders of $ 9.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes elected to exercise the early conversion option and we elected to settle such conversions using combination settlement comprised of cash equal to the principal amount of the 2023 Notes converted and shares of our common stock for the remaining conversion value. During fiscal 2022, we paid $ 9.4 million in cash and delivered 27,234 shares of common stock to settle the early conversion of these 2023 Notes. We also received 27,208 shares of common stock from the exercise of a portion of the convertible bond hedge we purchased concurrently with the issuance of the 2023 Notes, and therefore, on a net basis issued 26 shares of our common stock in respect to such settlement of the converted 2023 Notes.
In June 2023, upon the maturity of the 2023 Notes, the remaining $ 1.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes settled for $ 1.7 million in cash. During fiscal 2023 through the maturity of the 2023 Notes, we issued in aggregate 1,931 shares at a par value of $ 0.0001 per share and, as a result, recognized $ 0 in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) upon settlement of the 2023 Notes.
$ 350 million 0.00 % Convertible Senior Notes due 2024
As of February 3, 2024, we had $ 42 million of 2024 Notes outstanding, which were classified as convertible senior notes due 2024—net within current liabilities.
Prior to June 15, 2024 , the 2024 Notes were convertible only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after December 31, 2019, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, the last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130 % of the applicable conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each day of that period, the trading price per $ 1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes for such trading day was less than 98 % of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. The first condition was satisfied from the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2020 through the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2022. However, this condition was not met for the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2022 through the calendar quarter ended June 30, 2023, but was met for the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2023. This condition was not met for the calendar quarters ended December 31, 2023 or March 31, 2024. On and after June 15, 2024 , until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders were able to convert all or a portion of their 2024 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
In September 2024, upon the maturity of the 2024 Notes, the $ 42 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes settled for $ 42 million in cash and are no longer outstanding as of February 1, 2025. During fiscal 2024 through the maturity of the 2024 Notes, we issued in aggregate 39,121 shares of common stock at a par value of $ 0.0001 per share and, as a result, recognized $ 0 in additional paid-in capital on the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) upon settlement of the 2024 Notes.

Asset Based Credit Facility
On August 3, 2011, Restoration Hardware, Inc. (“RHI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RH, along with its Canadian subsidiary, Restoration Hardware Canada, Inc., entered into the Ninth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended prior to June 28, 2017, the “Original 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 Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “ABL Agent”).
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 $ 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 ABL Credit Agreement provides that the $ 300 million accordion, or a portion thereof, may be added as a first-in, last-out term loan facility if and to the extent the lenders revise their credit commitments for such facility. The ABL Credit Agreement further provides that 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 ABL Credit Agreement are met. The maturity date of the ABL Credit Agreement is July 29, 2026.
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. 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).

PART II — FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents
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 0.00 % LIBOR floor (or, in the case of the Canadian borrowings, the “BA Rate” or the “Canadian Prime Rate”, as such terms are defined in the ABL Credit Agreement, for the Canadian borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars, or the “U.S. Index Rate”, as such term is defined in the ABL Credit Agreement, or LIBOR for Canadian borrowings denominated in United States dollars) plus an applicable interest rate margin, in each case. The ABL Credit Agreement was amended in December 2022 to transition from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”).
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 does not contain any significant financial ratio covenants or coverage ratio covenants other than a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) covenant based on the ratio of (i) consolidated EBITDA to the amount of (ii) debt service costs plus certain other amounts, including dividends and distributions and prepayments of debt as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement (the “FCCR Covenant”). The FCCR Covenant only applies in certain limited circumstances, including when the unused availability under the ABL Credit Agreement drops below the greater of (A) $ 40 million and (B) an amount based on 10 % of the total borrowing availability at the time. The FCCR Covenant ratio is set at 1.0 and measured on a trailing twelve-month basis. As of February 1, 2025, RHI was in compliance with the FCCR Covenant .
The ABL Credit Agreement requires a daily sweep of all cash receipts and collections to prepay the loans under the agreement while (i) an event of default exists or (ii) when the unused availability under the ABL Credit Agreement drops below the greater of (A) $ 40 million and (B) an amount based on 10 % of the total borrowing availability at the time.
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 of February 1, 2025, RHI had $ 200 million in outstanding borrowings and $ 355 million of availability under the revolving line of credit, net of $ 45 million in outstanding letters of credit. As a result of the FCCR Covenant that limits the last 10 % of borrowing availability, actual incremental borrowing available to RHI and the other affiliated parties under the revolving line of credit would be $ 295 million as of February 1, 2025.
Term Loan Credit Agreement
On October 20, 2021, RHI entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) by and among RHI as the borrower, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, the “Term Agent”) with respect to an initial term loan (the “Term Loan B”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $ 2,000 million with a maturity date of October 20, 2028.
Through July 31, 2023, the Term Loan B bore interest at an annual rate based on LIBOR subject to a 0.50 % LIBOR floor plus an interest rate margin of 2.50 % (with a stepdown of the interest rate margin if RHI achieves a specified public corporate family rating). LIBOR is a floating interest rate that reset periodically during the life of the Term Loan B. At the date of borrowing, the interest rate was set at the LIBOR floor of 0.50 % plus 2.50 % and the Term Loan B was issued at a discount of 0.50 % to face value. Effective August 1, 2023, the Term Loan B bears interest at an annual rate based on SOFR subject to a 0.50 % SOFR floor plus an interest rate margin of 2.50 % plus a credit spread adjustment.
On May 13, 2022, RHI entered into a 2022 Incremental Amendment (the “2022 Incremental Amendment”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, amending the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the Term Loan Credit Agreement as amended by the 2022 Incremental Amendment, the “Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Incremental Amendment, RHI incurred incremental term loans (the “Term Loan B-2”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $ 500 million with a maturity date of October 20, 2028. The Term Loan B-2 constitutes a separate class from the Term Loan B under the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
The Term Loan B-2 bears interest at an annual rate based on the SOFR subject to a 0.50 % SOFR floor plus an interest rate margin of 3.25 % plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10 %. Other than the terms relating to the Term Loan B-2, the terms of the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement remain substantially the same as the terms of the existing Term Loan Credit Agreement, including representations and warranties, covenants and events of default.

We incurred debt issuance costs of $ 28 million in fiscal 2022, in connection with the issuance of the Term Loan Credit Agreement. No debt issuance costs were incurred in fiscal 2024 or fiscal 2023.
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 1.0 % in connection with any repricing transaction within the six months following the closing date of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
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 Term Loan Credit Agreement does not contain a financial maintenance covenant.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and other customary terms and conditions for a term loan credit agreement.
NOTE 13—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value, we utilize market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which would maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs of the valuation technique.
Our recurring and non-recurring fair values measurements of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories in accordance with ASC 820— Fair Value Measurements :
Level 1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date.
Level 2—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
Level 3—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs used in the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation.

Fair Value Measurements—Recurring
Amounts reported as cash and equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of activity within these accounts. The estimated fair value of the asset based credit facility approximates cost as the interest rate associated with the facility is variable and resets frequently (Level 2).
The estimated fair value and carrying value of the 2024 Notes, the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the real estate loans were as follows:

(1) The principal carrying value of the 2024 Notes excludes the discounts upon original issuance, discounts and commissions payable to the initial purchasers and third-party offering costs, as applicable. The principal carrying values of the Term Loan B and Term Loan B-2 represent the outstanding amount under each class and exclude discounts upon original issuance and third-party offering costs. The real estate loans represent the outstanding principal balance and exclude debt issuance costs.
The fair value of the 2024 Notes was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including the trading price of our convertible notes, when available, our stock price and interest rates based on similar debt issued by parties with credit ratings similar to ours (Level 2). As of February 1, 2025, the fair values of the Term Loan B and Term Loan B-2 were derived from observable bid prices (Level 1). As of February 3, 2024, the fair values of the Term Loan B and Term Loan B-2 were derived from discounted cash flows using risk-adjusted rates (Level 2). The fair values of the real estate loans were derived from discounted cash flows using risk-adjusted rates (Level 2).
Fair Value Measurements—Non-Recurring
The fair value of the non-cash compensation related to noncontrolling interests in the Member LLCs in fiscal 2022, as discussed in “Consolidated Variable Interest Entities and Noncontrolling Interests” within Note 3— Significant Accounting Policies and Note 7— Variable Interest Entities , were determined based on unobservable (Level 3) inputs and valuation techniques.
In fiscal 2022, upon settlement of our convertible senior notes, including the settlements in which holders of the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes elected to exercise the early conversion option, we recognized a gain or loss on extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statements of income, which represents the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the convertible senior notes immediately prior to the settlement date. The fair value of the 2024 Notes related to the settlement of the early conversions was determined based on inputs that are observable in the market or that could be derived from, or corroborated with, observable market data, including the trading price of our convertible notes, when available, our common stock price and interest rates based on similar debt issued by parties with credit ratings similar to ours (Level 2).
The fair values of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and lease right-of-use assets, as discussed in “Impairment—Long-Lived Assets” within Note 3— Significant Accounting Policies , were determined based on unobservable (Level 3) inputs and valuation techniques. Fair values are based on the expected future cash flows of the asset or asset group, using a discount rate commensurate with the related risk. Expected future cash flows are estimated based on the highest and best use of the asset and take into consideration multiple factors, including but not limited to, location-level historical results, current trends, operating cash flow projections and market-based rental rates.

We have recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon estimates of their realizable value, and such estimates are based upon likely future tax consequences. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets. If, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, we record a valuation allowance.

As of February 1, 2025, we had federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryovers of $ 96 million, $ 104 million and $ 29 million, respectively. The federal net operating losses do not expire. The state net operating loss carryovers will begin to expire in 2025 and continue to expire at various times depending upon individual state carryforward rules. The foreign net operating losses will begin to expire in 2028. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state rules place a limitation on the amount of taxable income which can be offset by net operating loss carryforwards after a change in ownership (generally greater than 50 % change in ownership). We cannot give any assurances that we will not undergo an ownership change in the future resulting in further limitations on utilization of net operating losses.

As of February 1, 2025, $ 2.7 million of our unrecognized tax benefits would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate, if recognized. The remaining unrecognized tax benefits would offset other deferred tax assets, if recognized. As of February 1, 2025, we have $ 0.4 million of exposures related to unrecognized tax benefits that are expected to decrease in the next 12 months .
In October 2017, we filed an amended federal tax return claiming a $ 5.4 million refund, however, no income tax benefit has been recorded in any fiscal year given the technical nature and amount of the refund claim. As of the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we are no longer appealing this refund claim and have reversed the receivable and related reserve.
We are subject to taxation in the United States and various states and foreign jurisdictions. As of February 1, 2025, we are subject to examination by the tax authorities for fiscal 2021 through fiscal 2024. With few exceptions, as of February 1, 2025, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local, or foreign examinations by tax authorities for years prior to fiscal 2021.
We have not provided U.S. income or foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries as of February 1, 2025 because we intend to permanently reinvest such earnings outside of the U.S. If these foreign earnings were to be repatriated in the future, the related U.S. tax liability is expected to be immaterial, due to the participation exemption put in place in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) proposed model rules to ensure a minimal level of taxation (commonly referred to as Pillar II) and the European Union member states have agreed to implement Pillar II’s proposed global corporate minimum tax rate of 15 %. Many countries are actively considering, have proposed or have enacted changes to their tax laws based upon the Pillar II proposals, which could increase our tax obligations in countries where we do business or cause us to change the way we operate our business. To mitigate the administrative burden for multinational enterprises in complying with the OECD Global Anti-Base Erosion rules during the initial years of implementation, the OECD developed the temporary “Transitional Country-by-Country Safe Harbor.” We considered the applicable tax law changes from Pillar II implementation in the relevant countries in which we operate, and there is no material impact to our tax provision for fiscal 2024. We will continue to evaluate the impact of these tax law changes in future reporting periods.

NOTE 16—SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM AND SHARE RETIREMENT
Share Repurchase Program
In 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program. On June 2, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized an additional $ 2,000 million for the purchase of shares of our outstanding common stock, increasing the total authorized size of the share repurchase program to $ 2,450 million (the “Share Repurchase Program”). We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under the Share Repurchase Program during fiscal 2024. As of February 1, 2025, $ 201 million remains available for future share repurchases under this program.
In fiscal 2022, we repurchased 3,719,550 shares of our common stock under the Share Repurchase Program at an average price of $ 268.83 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $ 1,004 million, inclusive of $ 3.7 million of excise taxes.
In fiscal 2023, we repurchased 3,887,965 shares of our common stock under the Share Repurchase Program at an average price of $ 321.28 per share, for an aggregate repurchase amount of approximately $ 1,261 million, inclusive of $ 12 million of excise taxes.
The excise tax liability of $ 12 million, which was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets as of February 3, 2024, was paid in October 2024 and is no longer outstanding as of February 1, 2025.
Share Retirements
In fiscal 2022, we retired 3,719,550 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 $ 444 million and $ 560 million from treasury stock to additional paid-in capital and retained earnings (accumulated deficit) , respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit).

NOTE 17—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Restoration Hardware 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”) was adopted on November 1, 2012. The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights, cash-based awards and any combination thereof to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, directors and consultants.
The Restoration Hardware 2012 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) was adopted on November 1, 2012 and on such date 6,829,041 fully vested options were granted under this plan to certain of our employees and advisors. Aside from these options granted on November 1, 2012, no other awards were granted under the Option Plan.
On November 1, 2022, both the Stock Incentive Plan and Option Plan expired. Upon expiration of the Stock Incentive Plan, a total of 1,607,508 shares that were available for future issuance under the plan were cancelled and were no longer available for the grant of awards under the plan.
The RH 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Stock Incentive Plan”, together with the Stock Incentive Plan and Option Plan, “the Plans”) was approved by stockholders on April 4, 2023. The 2023 Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees and the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent rights and any combination thereof to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, directors and consultants.
The maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan is (i) 3,000,000 , plus (ii) any shares of our common stock covered by any outstanding award (or portion of any such award) that has been granted under the Stock Incentive Plan if such award (or a portion of such award) is forfeited, is canceled or expires (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) without the issuance of shares of our common stock or if the shares underlying such award (or a portion of such award) that are surrendered or withheld in payment of the award’s exercise or purchase price or in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations with respect to an award would be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan had such award been an award granted under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan. The 2023 Stock Incentive Plan has a ten-year term.
Awards under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan reduce the number of shares available for future issuance. Cancellations and forfeitures of awards previously granted under the Plans increase the number of shares available for future issuance. Shares issued as a result of award exercises under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan will be funded with the issuance of new shares. As of February 1, 2025, a total of 2,235,091 shares were available for future issuance under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan.

(1) On October 18, 2020, our Board of Directors granted Mr. Friedman an option to purchase 700,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price equal to $ 385.30 per share under the Stock Incentive Plan. The option will result in aggregate non-cash stock compensation expense of $ 174 million. Amounts presented include $ 4.5 million, $ 9.6 million and $ 18 million in fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively, related to Mr. Friedman’s option.
As of February 1, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options was $ 128 million, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 4.6 years. In addition, as of February 1, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to the fully vested option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020 was $ 0.9 million, which will be recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Compensation Related to Consolidated VIEs
Refer to Note 7— Variable Interest Entities for details of non-cash compensation related to consolidated variable interest entities in fiscal 2022.
NOTE 18—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
We have a 401(k) plan for our employees who meet certain service and age requirements. Participants may contribute up to 50 % of their salaries limited to the maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Service regulations. We, at our discretion, may contribute funds to the 401(k) plan. We made no contributions to the 401(k) plan during fiscal 2024, fiscal 2023 or fiscal 2022.
NOTE 19—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
We had no material off balance sheet commitments as of February 1, 2025.
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, product liability and other causes of action. We have faced similar litigation in the past. 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 and other 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.
112 | FORM 10-K
PART II — FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents
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 consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 8— 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 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 these or other of our insurance policies may not be available. We may elect not to renew certain insurance coverage or renewal of coverage may not be available or may be prohibitively expensive. Even if we believe coverage does apply under our insurance programs, our insurance carriers may dispute coverage based on the underlying facts and circumstances.
The outcome of any contingencies, including lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings, could result in unexpected expenses and liability that could adversely affect our operations. In addition, any legal proceedings in which we are involved or 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 matters are expensed as incurred.
NOTE 20—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 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, Sourcebooks, and the Trade and Contract channels. The Real Estate segment represents operations associated with certain of our equity method investments and consolidated variable interest entities and have operations that are not directly related to the activities of the retail operating segments.
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
The CODM uses segment adjusted operating income to evaluate segment profitability for the retail operating segments and to allocate resources and analyze variances of actual performance to our forecasts when making decisions. Operating income is defined as net income before interest expense—net, other expense—net, income tax expense (benefit) and our share of equity method investments loss—net. Segment adjusted operating income excludes (i) certain asset impairments, (ii) legal settlements, (iii) non-cash compensation amortization related to an option grant made to Mr. Friedman in October 2020, (iv) severance costs associated with a reorganization, (v) costs associated with product recalls, (vi) employer payroll tax expense related to option exercises by Mr. Friedman, (vii) professional fees related to the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes transactions (refer to Note 11— Convertible Senior Notes ), (viii) non-cash compensation attributed to the noncontrolling interests holder of our consolidated variable interest entities (refer to Note 7— Variable Interest Entities ), (ix) compensation settlements related to the Rollover Units and Profit Interest Units in the Waterworks subsidiary and (x) gain on sale of building and land. These items are excluded from segment adjusted 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.
