RH (NYSE:RH) reported fourth-quarter financial results after the market close on Wednesday. Shares are tumbling in reaction to a top- and bottom-line miss. Here’s a rundown of the report.
Q4 Earnings: RH reported fourth-quarter revenue of $812.41 million, missing the consensus estimate of $829.56 million, according to Benzinga Pro. The luxury retailer reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.58 per share, missing analyst estimates of $1.92 per share.
Total revenue was up 10% on a year-over-year basis as fourth-quarter demand jumped 17%. The company reported adjusted operating income of $92 million, up 38% year-over-year, and adjusted EBITDA margin of 17.1%.
“The important work and substantial investments we've made over the past two years are now resulting in meaningful share gains and significant strategic separation, positioning the RH brand to expand its leadership position across the luxury home market over the next decade,” the company said in a letter to shareholders.
“While demand softened in mid-December after mortgage rates spiked and mortgage applications fell 22 percent post the Fed signaling rates would remain largely unchanged this year, RH Brand demand stabilized at up 19% in January.”
