CEO Comments
John Reed, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented,
“The second quarter of 2023 marks another quarter of exceptional demand comparable growth(2), up 11.6%. In July, our demand comparable growth was up high-single-digits. We also had another quarter of very strong earnings, despite lower than expected net revenue in the quarter. Net revenue was lower due to delivery delays as we scale our distribution and IT systems in response to the rapid and substantial growth we have experienced over the past few years.
“We continue to execute on our Showroom expansion this year, adding three new Showrooms during the second quarter in Naperville, Illinois, Topanga, California and Grapevine, Texas, and we are very pleased with the strong performance of our new Showrooms. Last week we opened a new Showroom in Peabody, Massachusetts and expect to open six more over the balance of the year.
"With a successful first half of 2023 behind us, we are narrowing our full year 2023 net revenue outlook and increasing our net income and adjusted EBITDA outlook.
“We are also announcing today that Tim Kuckelman, who has served as our Chief Operating Officer since September 2022, left the Company effective August 8, 2023. I would like to thank Tim for his contributions to Arhaus over the past year, and we wish him the best.
“Finally, I am proud to announce that we have committed to make a $10 million donation to The Nature Conservancy to support global forest conservation.”
Second Quarter 2023 Results
Net revenue increased 2.2% to $313 million, compared to $306 million in the second quarter of 2022.
Comparable growth(1) was (0.8)% and demand comparable growth(2) was 11.6% in the second quarter of 2023.
Gross margin increased 5.3% to $140 million, compared to $133 million in the second quarter of 2022, driven primarily by higher net revenue and lower product costs, partially offset by higher fixed Showroom costs and credit card fees related to increased interest rates and demand.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4.1%, to $86 million, compared to $83 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by increased corporate expense to support the growth of the business and higher selling expense related to new Showrooms and demand, partially offset by lower warehouse expense.
Net and comprehensive income was $40 million compared to $37 million in the second quarter of 2022. This increase was driven by the factors described above. Adjusted net income was $40 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $39 million in the second quarter of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.5% to $64 million compared to $60 million in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net revenue improved 70 basis points to 20.4% in the second quarter of 2023, compared to 19.7% in the second quarter of 2022.

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 GAAP, this press release and related tables include adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue and adjusted net income, 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-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 to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP below.
