Did RH Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results
RH posted a stronger-than-expected first-quarter profit despite falling just short on revenue, as the luxury home furnishings retailer demonstrated resilience against what management described as a deeply challenged housing backdrop. Adjusted diluted EPS came in at $0.13, well ahead of the consensus estimate of negative $0.07, while revenue of $813.95 million grew 12% year over year but trailed the $818.57 million analyst target by 0.56%. The earnings recovery was driven in part by meaningful margin expansion, with adjusted operating margin widening to 7.0% from 6.5% and free cash flow turning positive at $34.08 million versus negative $10.13 million a year ago. European momentum added a compelling growth dimension, with comparable Gallery demand rising 60% in Munich and Dusseldorf and RH England's Gallery demand climbing 47%. Looking ahead, the company maintained full-year fiscal 2025 guidance for revenue growth of 10% to 13% and free cash flow of $250 million to $350 million, though Liberation Day tariffs are expected to weigh on second-quarter revenues by roughly 6 points before a second-half recovery takes hold.

“Our industry leading growth continued into fiscal 2025 as revenue increased 12% in the first quarter despite the polarizing impact of tariff uncertainty and the worst housing market in almost 50 years. Both adjusted operating margin of 7.0% and adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.1% were at the high end of our expectations, and we achieved positive free cash flow of $34 million in the quarter.”

Forward Guidance & Outlook
RH maintained its fiscal 2025 guidance assuming existing tariffs remain unchanged: Revenue growth of 10% to 13%, adjusted operating margin of 14% to 15%, adjusted EBITDA margin of 20% to 21%, and free cash flow of $250M to $350M. For Q2 2025, the company guided revenue growth of 8% to 10%, adjusted operating margin of 15.0% to 16.0%, and adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.5% to 21.5%, including an approximate negative 180 basis point operating margin impact from international expansion investments. Liberation Day tariffs are expected to negatively impact Q2 revenues by approximately 6 points, with recovery in the second half. A new brand extension planned for Fall 2025 has been delayed to Spring 2026. Adjusted capital expenditures are expected to decrease to $200M-$250M in 2026 and $150M-$200M in 2027 and beyond.
