CEO Comments

John Reed, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“I want to thank our teams for delivering a solid start to 2024 and executing on our key priorities. We are pleased to have exceeded our top and bottom line outlook for the quarter as the Arhaus team executed well, and first quarter benefited from the shift in our new warehouse management system implementation to April from March. We are building on our track record of industry-leading market share gains with demand comparable growth(2) of 1.3% in the first quarter. January’s weather-impacted high-single-digit demand comparable decline was more than offset by demand comparable growth of mid-single-digit and high-single-digit in February and March, respectively. We also continued our strategic investments in systems, eCommerce capabilities and our in-home designer and trade programs during the quarter.

“We are thrilled with client response to the new product introductions we have made this year and are excited to be opening several new Showrooms in the second quarter, including in new markets, as we capitalize on our tremendous brand awareness opportunity and remain keenly focused on strategic growth. We are on track to deliver on our goals for the year and are reaffirming our 2024 full year financial outlook.”

First Quarter 2024 Results

Net revenue in the first quarter was $295 million, compared to $305 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was the result of the non-recurrence of prior year abnormal backlog deliveries and a weather-related impact on deliveries in January, partially offset by favorable demand versus prior year.

Comparable growth(1) was (9.5)% and demand comparable growth(2) was 1.3% in the first quarter of 2024.

Gross margin decreased to $115 million, compared to $128 million in the first quarter of 2023, driven primarily by lower net revenue and higher Showroom costs as we continue to expand our footprint.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 16.8% to $97 million, compared to $83 million in the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by higher selling expense related to new Showrooms and demand strength, higher corporate expense as we continue to invest in our strategic initiatives to support and drive the growth of the business, and increased warehouse expense as our Dallas location continues to increase productivity.

Net and comprehensive income was $15 million compared to $34 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $29 million compared to $55 million in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net revenue was 9.9% in the first quarter of 2024, compared to 18.0% in the first quarter of 2023.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights, as of March 31, 2024

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $233 million, and the Company had no long-term debt at March 31, 2024. Net merchandise inventory increased 5.6% to $268 million, compared to $254 million as of December 31, 2023. Client deposits increased 16.8% to $203 million, compared to $174 million as of December 31, 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $37 million, compared to $11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $26 million, which includes landlord contributions of approximately $13 million and company-funded capital expenditures(3) of approximately $13 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $11 million, which included landlord contributions of approximately $3 million and company-funded capital expenditures(3) of approximately $8 million.

Outlook

The table below reaffirms our previously provided expectations for selected full year 2024 financial operating results and sets out our expectations for selected second quarter 2024 operating results.

Full Year 2024Q2 2024
Net revenue$1.33 billion to $1.37 billion$310 million to $320 million
Comparable growth(1)(4)% to (2)%(9)% to (7)%
Net income(4)$95 million to $105 million$14 million to $18 million
Adjusted EBITDA(5)$185 million to $200 million$33 million to $38 million
Other estimates: 
Company-funded capital expenditures(3)$80 million to $100 million 
Depreciation & amortization$45 million to $50 million 
Fully diluted shares~141 million 
Effective tax rate~ 26% 


In 2024, the Company plans to open nine to eleven new Showrooms, as well as renovate, relocate and expand several locations.

(1) Comparable growth is a key performance indicator and is defined as the year-over-year percentage change of the dollar value of orders delivered (based on purchase price), net of the dollar value of returns (based on amount credited to client), from our comparable Showrooms and eCommerce, including through our catalogs and other mailings.
(2) Demand comparable growth is a key performance indicator and is defined as the year-over-year percentage change of demand from our comparable Showrooms and eCommerce, including through our catalogs and other mailings.
(3) Company-funded capital expenditures is defined as total net cash used in investing activities less landlord contributions.
(4) U.S. GAAP net income (loss).
(5) We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. These items include, but are not limited to, future share-based compensation expense, income taxes, interest expense, and transaction costs. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release and related tables include adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue which present operating results on an adjusted basis.

We use non-GAAP measures to help assess the performance of our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions. In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we believe that providing these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to our investors as they present an informative supplemental view of our results from period to period by removing the effect of non-recurring items. However, our inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. These non-

U.S. GAAP measures are not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentations of these measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and can differ significantly from company to company. These measures should only be read together with the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures. Please refer to the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, below.
