“The emergence of RH as a luxury brand generating luxury margins has arrived years sooner than expected and we now believe we will reach 20% adjusted operating margin in fiscal 2020 with mid-single digit revenue growth. If revenues grow at a higher rate in the second half, we would expect adjusted operating margins to expand beyond 20%, and now see a long-term path to 25% adjusted operating margins,” noted Chief Executive Officer, Gary G. Friedman, in RH’s press release.
Friedman also noted that RH is benefitting from “the COVID-driven shift of spending in favor of the home.” This has created a systemic shift in the company that is causing necessary changes to their operating model.
