CEO Comments

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

“2021 was a monumental year for Arhaus. In addition to our record financial performance, we achieved significant operational accomplishments this past year including the opening of a nearly 500,000 square foot distribution center and upholstery production facility in North Carolina, the start of a 230,000 square foot expansion of our distribution and corporate office facility in Ohio, the launch of a new website to enhance our client experience and analytic capabilities, and our transition to a public company with the November initial public offering of our Class A common stock. I am so proud of all that our team accomplished in 2021, and we are even more excited about the significant opportunities that lie ahead.

“2022 is off to a strong start and we feel well positioned to deliver on our financial and operational goals in 2022. Supply chain constraints are beginning to ease on both the inbound and outbound side and we believe lead times will continue to improve. While raw material and transportation costs continue to be above historical averages, they are in-line with our expectations, positioning us to deliver on our goals for the year.”

Fourth Quarter 2021 Results

Net revenue increased 46.3% to $238 million, compared to $163 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was driven primarily by increased demand in both Showroom and eCommerce channels as well as the delivery of orders in the backlog as our supply chain continues to catch up with client demand.

Comparable growth(1) in the quarter was 40.5%, compared to 19.6% in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Income (Loss) from operations decreased to $(3) million, compared to $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily driven by higher product and transportation costs related to the increased net revenue, higher SG&A expenses to support the growth of the business, higher commissions in our Showrooms related to strong demand, an increase in equity-based compensation expense, and one-time initial public offering ("IPO") expenses, partially offset by the increase in net revenue.

Net and comprehensive income was $7 million, compared to $3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. This includes an income tax benefit of $12 million primarily related to the recognition of a deferred tax asset that arose from the November 2021 reorganization of the Company’s ownership structure for the purpose of issuing stock on a publicly traded exchange (the “Reorganization”), partially offset by the above factors. Adjusted Net Income was $17 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 14.0% to $33 million, compared to $29 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net revenue decreased 390 basis points to 13.8% in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to 17.7% in the fourth quarter of 2020.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, we opened one new traditional Showroom in Short Hills, New Jersey and three new Design Studios in Miramar Beach, Florida, Aspen, Colorado and Princeton, New Jersey.

Full Year 2021 Results

Net revenue in 2021 increased 57.1% to $797 million, compared to $507 million in 2020. The increase was driven primarily by increased demand in both Showroom and eCommerce channels as well as the delivery of orders in the backlog as our supply chain began to catch up with client demand. Net revenue from eCommerce increased 60.1% to $144 million.

Full year comparable growth(1) was 51.0%, compared to 0.9% in 2020.

Income from operations increased 8.0% to $33 million, compared to $31 million in 2020, primarily driven by the increase in net revenue, partially offset by higher product and transportation costs related to the increased net revenue, higher commissions in our Showrooms related to strong demand, higher derivative expense related to the termination of our former credit facility, higher SG&A expenses to support the growth of the business including increased marketing investment, one-time IPO expenses and an increase in equity-based compensation expense.

Net and comprehensive income of $37 million was a 116.7% increase compared to $17 million in 2020. The increase was driven by an income tax benefit of $10 million primarily related to the deferred tax asset that arose from the Reorganization, along with the above factors and decreased interest expense. Adjusted net income of $83 million was a 117.9% increase compared to $38 million in 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 77.0%, to $123 million, compared to $69 million in 2020. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net revenue increased 170 basis points to 15.4% in 2021, compared to 13.7% in 2020.

The Company continued to invest in growth during 2021, opening and relocating ten new showrooms (adding five net new showrooms), opening a nearly 500,000 square foot distribution center and upholstery production facility in North Carolina, beginning a 230,000 square foot expansion of the distribution and corporate office facility in Ohio, and launching a new website.

The Company ended the year with 79 total showrooms across 28 states.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights, as of December 31, 2021

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $124 million, and the Company had no long-term debt at December 31, 2021. Net merchandise inventory increased 92.9% to $208 million, compared to $108 million as of December 31, 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $146 million, compared to $148 million for the full year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily driven by higher working capital from increased inventory to satisfy strong demand, partially offset by increased client deposits resulting from the higher demand, an increase in accrued expenses and the non-cash impact of the derivative expense related to our former credit facility and of equity-based compensation, which reduced our net income without a corresponding impact to cash.

For the full year ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $48 million, which includes landlord contributions of approximately $18 million and company-funded capital expenditures(2) of approximately $30 million. For the full year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $13 million, which included landlord contributions of approximately $10 million and company-funded capital expenditures of approximately $3 million. The full year 2021 increase in company-funded capital expenditures was primarily driven by our new distribution and upholstery production facility in North Carolina, opening more new Showrooms, and information technology investments.

Outlook

The table below presents our expectation for selected fiscal full year 2022 financial operating results.

Full Year 2022
Net revenue$1,130 million to $1,170 million
Comparable growth(1)35% to 45%
Net income(4)$70 million to $80 million
Adjusted EBITDA(3)$145 million to $155 million
Other estimates:
Company-funded capital expenditures(2)$60 million to $70 million
Fully diluted shares~140 million
Effective tax rate~25%

Given the timing of our fourth quarter and full year release, we are also providing first quarter 2022 expected ranges for select metrics: net revenue in the range of $232 million to $236 million, net income(4) in the range of $12 million to $14 million, with an adjusted EBITDA(3) range of $24 million to $26 million. In future quarterly reports we will only be providing updates to our annual guidance.

In 2022, the Company plans to open 5 to 7 new showrooms. The Company also expects to open a third approximately 800,000 square foot distribution center in Texas in the second half of 2022.

(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 direct-mail catalog.
(2) Company-funded capital expenditures is defined as total net cash used in investing activities less landlord contributions.
(3) 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.
(4) U.S. GAAP net income.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP, this press release and related tables include adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue and adjusted net income (loss), 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 are 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-GAAP measures are not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with 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 GAAP measures. Please refer to the reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) to the most directly comparable financial measured prepared in accordance with GAAP below.
