CEO Comments
John Reed, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented,
“Our team delivered another quarter of solid operational execution, with several new showroom openings, successful new product development and important strategic investments to support our long term growth.
“We have opened 8 new Showrooms in 6 states so far this year and are on pace to meet our goal of opening nine to eleven new Showrooms in 2024. We recently celebrated an important milestone, opening our 100th Showroom. I want to thank our teams across Arhaus for their efforts in this achievement. We have many years of growth ahead as we work toward our long term goal of 165 Traditional Showrooms and up to 100 Design Studios, allowing us to capitalize on our tremendous brand awareness opportunity.
“Total demand(2) in the second quarter increased mid-single-digits. We continue to be very pleased with the performance of our new showrooms and our new showroom economics.
“In the second quarter we saw demand comparable growth(3) soften to (3%). We have experienced tremendous growth over the past several years with second quarter demand comparable growth increases of 8.6% on a two-year stacked(4) basis and 31.1% on a three-year stacked(5) basis. I am so proud of the team’s execution while growing exponentially over the last several years and look forward to continuing to build on this solid base with our long term growth strategy.
“Given the consumer and demand comparable growth trends we have seen for the past three months, we are adjusting our expectations for the second half of the year and lowering our full year outlook. We remain confident in our long term growth strategy to expand our showroom footprint, increase brand awareness and invest to drive operational efficiency. Our strong, debt-free balance sheet allows us to continue to invest in our industry-leading growth while navigating the current consumer environment.”
Second Quarter 2024 Results
Net revenue in the second quarter was $310 million, compared to $313 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was the result of the non-recurrence of prior year abnormal backlog deliveries and the implementation of our warehouse management system in our Ohio distribution center.
Comparable growth(1) was (7.1)% and demand comparable growth(3) was (3.0)% in the second quarter of 2024.
Gross margin decreased to $124 million, compared to $140 million in the second quarter of 2023, driven primarily by higher Showroom costs as we continue to expand our footprint, lower product margin related to promotional activity and lower net revenue, and increased delivery and transportation costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 10.3% to $95 million, compared to $86 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily driven by higher selling expense mostly related to new Showrooms, 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.
Net and comprehensive income was $22 million compared to $40 million in the second quarter of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA was $40 million compared to $64 million in the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net revenue was 12.9% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 20.4% in the second quarter of 2023.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights, as of June 30, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $174 million, and the Company had no long-term debt at June 30, 2024. Net merchandise inventory increased $20 million to $274 million, compared to $254 million as of December 31, 2023. Client deposits increased $36 million to $210 million, compared to $174 million as of December 31, 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $84 million, compared to $64 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $62 million. Company-funded capital expenditures(6) were approximately $40 million, and landlord contributions were approximately $22 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $35 million. Company-funded capital expenditures were approximately $24 million, and landlord contributions were approximately $11 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $71.1 million primarily due to the payment of the special dividend on our Class A and Class B common stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $0.5 million primarily due to the repurchase of shares for payment of withholding taxes for equity based compensation.
The Company ended the second quarter with 97 total Showrooms across 29 states.
Outlook
The table below presents our updated expectations for selected full year 2024 financial operating results and sets out our expectations for selected third quarter 2024 operating results.
| Full Year | Current Guidance | Previous Guidance | Q3 Guidance |
| Net revenue | $1.25 billion to $1.29 billion | $1.33 billion to $1.37 billion | $325 million to $345 million |
| Comparable growth(1) | (11)% to (8)% | (4)% to (2)% | (9)% to (4)% |
| Net income (7) | $55 million to $75 million | $95 million to $105 million | $10 million to $15 million |
| Adjusted EBITDA(8) | $125 million to $145 million | $185 million to $200 million | $25 million to $35 million |
| Other estimates: | |||
| Company-funded capital expenditures(6) | Unchanged | $80 million to $100 million | |
| Depreciation & amortization | $40 million to $45 million | $45 million to $50 million | |
| Fully diluted shares | Unchanged | ~ 141 million | |

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 is an operating metric that we use to measure the dollar value of orders (based on purchase price) at the time the order is placed, net of the dollar value of cancellations and returns (based on unpaid purchase price and amount credited to client). These orders are recognized as net revenue when a client obtains control of the merchandise. Because demand is measured net of cancellations, all demand will eventually become net revenue, with appropriate reserves, when delivered to the client.
(3) 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.
(4) Two-year stack is calculated as current quarter demand comparable growth plus demand comparable growth for the same prior year quarter.
(5) Three-year stack is calculated as current quarter demand comparable growth plus the sum of demand comparable growth from the same quarter of the prior two years.
(6) Company-funded capital expenditures is defined as total net cash used in investing activities less landlord contributions.
(7) U.S. GAAP net income (loss).
(8) 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 income, 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.
