Let me start with a reading of our letter to our people, partners, and shareholders. First quarter revenues of $800.3 million and adjusted EBITDA of 7.1% exceeded the high end of our expectations in the first quarter, despite back order and special order balances approximately $75 million higher than a year ago, primarily due to tariff-related resourcing. As a result of our better-than-expected first quarter results, we are raising our outlook for fiscal year 2026 and providing the following outlook for the second quarter. Fiscal year 2026 outlook: revenue growth of 4.5%-8%, adjusted EBITDA margin of 14.2%-16%, adjusted free cash flow of $300 million-$400 million. The above outlook includes an approximate - 270 basis point adjusted EBITDA margin impact from pre-opening and start-up costs to support our international expansion. Second quarter 2026 outlook: revenue growth of 0.5%-2.5%, adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.5%-13%. The above outlook includes an approximate - 380 basis point adjusted EBITDA margin impact from pre-opening and start-up costs to support our international expansion. The bridge from here to there. How, many may ask, in an economic environment like the one we are navigating through, do you get from your half one numbers to your half two numbers necessary to make the year? There are three parts that form the proverbial bridge to the other side, supporting the case for our business to accelerate from flat in half one to up 12% in half two, as we've done many times before. We've listed them below. We plan a backlog reduction that's worth 4.5 percentage points in the second half, new store growth of 2.5 percentage points, and new concept growth of five points for RH Estates. Building the foundation for a global luxury brand. Similar to structures that stand the test of time, those rewarded with historical recognition and reverence, luxury brands are designed and built in the same fashion, on incredibly strong foundations. Both endeavors are considered hard and in many cases impossible. They always require more time and capital and are generally built by unrelenting and unrelatable individuals and teams. You've heard us talk over the years about climbing the luxury mountain, how it's not for the faint of heart. As the higher you climb, the air gets thin, and the odds become slim. We believe the work we are about to unveil is akin to those difficult last steps and gasping for those vital breaths. We believe the openings of RH Paris, Milan, and London, arguably the three most immersive and inspiring brand experiences anywhere in the world, will form the foundation necessary to earn the respect and recognition of not only the European and U.K. customer, but a global one. They communicate a sense of permanence, a brand that has been dedicated to crafting their skills over decades. The last foundational piece, RH Estates. "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," Ronald Reagan. We believe that there are those with taste and no scale, and those with scale and no taste. The global design market has spent the last half-century comfortable with that division. It is an industry defined by exclusion versus inclusion. For decades, the highest echelon of home design, the masterfully tailored upholstery of Dmitriy & Co, the uncompromising bespoke casework of Joseph Jeup, the classical grandeur of Dennis & Leen, the meticulous reproductions of Formations, the artisanal fixtures of Waterworks, and the iconic designs of Michael Taylor, who Architectural Digest named one of the greatest interior designers of all time, has been hidden, trapped behind the metaphorical Iron Curtain. This curtain is the closed-door, trade-only showroom network. Unless you hold a professional license or hire a gatekeeper, you are forbidden from seeing, experiencing, or purchasing the finest expressions of human craftsmanship. The public is left outside, while some of the very best design and quality remains hidden inside. Nearly 40 years ago, standing at the Brandenburg Gate, a former American president looked out at a divided world and issued a defiant historic decree, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." Today, we look at the luxury home industry and ask the same. With the launch of RH Estates, we are removing the barriers that have segregated taste from scale. We are amplifying the work of the world's most elite designers, artisans, and manufacturers on our global platform. This is not a compromise of quality. It is a liberation of mastery. By uniting these legendary ateliers and elevating their work in architecturally significant spaces, we are providing access to some of the most beautifully designed, highest quality, classic, contemporary, and modern furniture in the world. Pieces that not only furnish a home, those that define it. Tearing down the walls means more than just opening the doors. It means eliminating the creative limitations that have historically forced designers to choose between our scale and the uncompromising specificity of trade-only showrooms. To empower the design community, we are introducing RH Bespoke Furniture and RH Couture Upholstery. With RH Bespoke, we are offering a level of customization never seen before at scale. Interior designers and architects can now specify dimensions for dressers, dining tables, sideboards, and cabinets to fit the exact proportions of their architectural canvas. Simultaneously, RH Couture Upholstery will redefine the boundaries by integrating custom sizing with COM, customer's own material, into the RH ecosystem. We are giving designers the creative freedom to specify custom sizes and fabrics for sofas, sectionals, chairs, ottomans, and beds. You source the fabric from anywhere in the world, we provide the atelier-level construction and craftsmanship. The scale of taste. Our critics will argue that true luxury cannot be scaled. They are wrong. They fail to understand the ability to scale taste creates higher quality and value for both the customer and the designer. It has the ability, as other innovations have, to create a larger market, enhance the way we live, and elevate humanity. By moving past the antiquated model where each piece is built in isolation, we are building these elite designs in highly disciplined batches. Scale gives us unprecedented leverage, allowing for vastly superior sourcing of raw materials, rigorous quality control, and significant manufacturing and transportation efficiencies. Make no mistake, we are not mechanizing art. The intricate hand carvings and finishes are still executed individually by the world's finest artisans. Because of this human touch, every single piece remains a one-of-a-kind masterpiece in its own right. By integrating the fragmented supply chain and presenting these products on an equally unrivaled inspiring architectural platform, consumers now have the access to a level of design and quality previously only available to a select few. A new covenant with the trade. We recognize the ultimate expression of our products requires the vision of incredible talent. To honor the design community, we are redefining how we partner with professionals. We are introducing an exclusive program for interior designers, architects, and trade members. The program ensures that professionals are compensated for the tremendous value and aesthetic clarity they create for consumers. We want to incentivize the world's best talent to build their canvases using our platform, creating a symbiotic ecosystem where design mastery is both accessible and rewarded at every level. The separation between taste and scale is over. The curtain has fallen. It's time to tear down that wall. Carpe diem, Gary. Operator will now open the call to questions. At this time, if you would like to ask a question, press star, then the number one on your telephone keypad. To withdraw your question, simply press star-one again. We kindly ask that you limit your questions to one and one follow-up and return to the queue for any additional. We will pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster. Your first question comes from the line of Steven Forbes with Guggenheim. Please go ahead. Good afternoon, Gary, Jack. Gary, given the commentary around customization within the shareholder letter that you just went through, curious if you can maybe just give us a high-level view on what you think this really means for the brand's reach and addressable TAM, especially once you layer in that new trade program. How much of the market really gets opened up? I do not know if there is a way to contextualize it for us on how you are thinking about it today. One is, I mentioned on the video last quarter, the traditional classic market represents about 60% of the luxury home market. Today, we are just vastly under-penetrated in that market. If you look back, if you looked at an RH source book from 2014, I think we had 704 pages, it was all classic, all traditionally based. If you look at our business today, because of the evolution and the expansion of modern, the evolution into contemporary as the trends hit, our brand, like many brands, and many of us grew up in the fashion industry. I grew up with The Gap. Learning to build a specialty brand, you are generally keeping it in a very focused kind of limited point of view, so it will break through the market. I think one of the things that I failed to kind of recognize, if you think about the bigger picture of the home industry, is that the trends kind of lift aesthetics during cycles. The other things don't really stop selling. They just sell kind of less, because the architecture is really the driving force in the market. As we went back and just kind of studied our history and said, "Look, what are the smartest things we've done? What are the things we think we missed? What could we have done better?" Our view is that we could build, again, as I outlined in the video, build our business around the three major aesthetic kind of pieces, and that's traditional, contemporary, and modern. We'll refer to it as Estates, Interiors, and Modern. This is, I would say, I don't know, there's maybe a chance that we might have given away over the last 10, 12 years, $1 billion, maybe more. As we assess the market and try to go back and just do the math and try to extrapolate things. That's one piece. Then I say, every time you do something new, it's not 100% incremental. There's going to be some level of cannibalization as you expand a market, whether it's you're expanding product, you're expanding physically in penetration. There's going to generally be some level of incrementality and there's going to be a level of cannibalization. Our view here, this is one of the most incremental things I think we've ever done. Modern was very incremental, but it was a very small market, when we launched RH Modern. The amount of modern architecture in the world, while it was trending and the world was moving in that direction, still, it's a fragment of the size of this market. That's how I think about the first piece. The second piece is looking at it, not just from aesthetic point of view, but really a market point of view, a design and quality point of view. RH Estates is, from our view, the first step up to the top of the luxury mountain, if you use that metaphor. It is the highest level of quality and design that exists in the world, unless you're really buying rare antiques. If you think about the brands that we've aggregated over the last five years, and what we've learned over that time, and what we're bringing to market with Estates, which you guys have only seen just a little teaser. That's such a little teaser. This is just a level of design and quality that is not available to the consumer. We own these showrooms. One of our very best ones, there are two of them, the door's not open to the public. There's a doorbell. Even if you're a consumer and you're walking down the street and you want to go in, you can ring a doorbell, and you may not be able to get in if you don't have an appointment and if you're not a member of the trade, and you don't have an appointment. The design and quality, and then you've got the accessibility. Whenever we develop any product, we always do searches on the products. We'll do all kinds of visual searches across all platforms, right, to see who might have something like this. The world is looking at different things and seeing different things and understanding different trends, and then trying to scale things. I can tell you, we've never had such a low hit rate versus what we're bringing in the market. You can take a negative view and go, "Well, maybe nobody wants that. That's why you're not seeing it." You're not seeing it because nobody, I don't believe anybody else can really sell it, because they don't have the platform, and they don't have the brand, and they don't have the ability to source it at a value equation that we can. I've been lucky. This one, I say lucky, not so lucky. I joke with the team, this is the first trend that I'm old enough that I was the customer of. When you think about the next thing that's coming, the age of eclecticism, the California look with Michael Taylor, there's a few different kind of names they gave it, and they all come through somewhat differently. The foundational elements of these giant trends that come through, this is one of the biggest ones ever. This one was bigger and longer than modern or any trend we've addressed in my history of RH. Right? I was the customer. I joined RH as I was moving into my house in Belvedere, which is the first house I ever lived in in my life, the only house I built in my life. My first wife was a luxury interior designer, and I was her client for a condominium in San Francisco. I had the round Michael Taylor dining table in that house. I had the reproduction of the Coco Chanel sofa. I had a lot of these different kind of products that are trends. I probably shouldn't say this. Some of this stuff, I got to be careful because all of my competitors are on these calls, and they're going to wait for me to slip up and let them hear or see something. I lived through this trend, at my house in Belvedere, how many things do I have from Formations that I bought? I would say six or seven. Six or seven items from Formations that I bought years ago. I have the Michael Taylor rectangle diamond table in my house. I bought two of them. I had the round one in the condo, the first job we did together, then the rectangle one. I know how much I paid for those 26, 27 years ago. I know what they've been selling for recently because we own those businesses. The value equation, the quality we're going to bring to the market, the value equation we're going to bring to the market has never been seen before. I don't say that lightly. I usually never go out on a limb like this, but never been seen before. You try to do a visual search online, it is not out there unless you want to go on 1stDibs and buy an antique, which is fine. We can't stop you from buying an antique. I had to read everybody what we have on the back of our catalog, right? If anybody tries to come after any of these goods, it's going to be a bad day, because we own the intellectual property on the vast majority of what we're bringing to the market. We have patent pendings on, what would we say? What percent of this book? 80? Yeah. 65% now. 65%-80% of the book. We should go back and just actually add it all up. There's just so many things we're doing we've never done before. The way we're addressing the market and the way we're sourcing these goods, the people that are making these goods grew up making these goods. The manufacturers that are making these, they were part of that industry, making for the highest end showrooms before we met them and started to scale with them. They're also excited to be able to make this quality again, because the market is so fragmented. The design and quality aspect of this is huge. The next piece you have is we're going to open the market up to, what do we call them? Super buyers of furniture. We have a very big trade business. We provide excellent service to the trade and to high-end interior designers and design firms. Our teams act as a back office. We'll do designs and renderings and presentations for them. We'll support them in any way we can, many times in delivery and installation. At the same time, there is an aspect of just recognition and compensation that we haven't done. The team jokes around because every time I go to High Point, someone comes up to me and says, "I love your brand. Oh, my God." "Please help us make money. Let us make money on your brand." We haven't offered and incentivized the design trades. I look back and I think because I came from a family situation that had interior designer, and I have the insight of looking at just how complex and difficult that was. It was also, not only was it not transparent, it was just not accessible. You couldn't get to see it. You couldn't buy it. I just thought over time, just making high quality goods available, that the consumers would drive designers to our brand, and I think they have. At the same time, there's really great interior designers that they're running a different model. Even the mother of my girls who was here consulting us, what, 10 days ago? Two weeks ago? To just give us the insight of a high-end designer. She runs a design firm. She said, "Listen, do I buy RH? Of course, I buy RH. Do I want to spec that first? No." A lot of times, my clients will say, "Hey, look, okay, do your designs in the primary living room, in the primary bedroom, in the primary dining room but do RH for the family room and the media room and all the rest of the bedrooms." She was smiling like, "Okay, I will." She said, "I'm thinking to myself, I can't make any money." Interior designers have a markup model, right? An hourly model. They kind of need both to make the business work. I think we haven't been an open platform like that, and I think we are just overlooking kind of a super customer. They buy furniture all day long. That's what they do for a living. It kind of doesn't make sense that we're not doing it when you really look at it critically. I think it really makes sense here, too, the timing of this because not only are we going to have this design and quality that is at the very highest level of the market, we're going to also empower the designers and consumers, for that matter, and all of our designers with the ability to customize and the ability to do COM and customer's own material and the ability to do all the things that they need or want to do to do truly custom work at the highest end. I would say this is just the beginning, right? It's not the only thing we'll do. Someone asked me the other day, "Hey, are your prices going to be higher?" Yeah, they're going to be higher. I mean, the quality's massively higher. It's such a tremendous value. The price should be higher. This is not just kind of smooth wood with a sprayed-on finish or a contemporary piece with curved edges. This is hand-patinated, hand-carved, hand-distressed. So many details to get it right. Every piece is a one of a kind because of the handwork and how it is made. Somebody said, "Oh, how do you know you're not going to make a mistake like contemporary?" Contemporary didn't have the handwork, didn't have that level of detail, didn't have those things. We were a bit arrogant at that point in time. Because we're out here with a unique product also, I think that we're offering such an incredible value. I think that there's also an opportunity because of how long we've been thinking about this, working on it. I think it's the most intelligent, deep-thinking launch of a brand we've done. We've really started investing in this in 2000. Here we are, 2026. We acquired Dmitriy and Joseph Jeup in 2000. 2020. Huh? 2020. 2020, not 2000. Yeah. Thank you. Yes. 2020. Yeah. Thank you. Not that long ago. It's been a long-term investment. Think about the opening of the high-end design market on this, there's nothing that we're doing to value engineer the product. We are making, I'd say, identical quality. The diamond table is made with the identical molds of Michael Taylor. The tops and everything are the same quality, the finishes that we're offering. The array of finishes is at a whole different level. You're going to see when you see this book, it was BNST at Home next week? What are we saying, end of next week? Early the following week? Early the following. Yeah. Okay. Early following week. We kept tweaking it and tweaking it, we had a lot of last-minute ideas to kind of make it better as we were working on it. It was also taking us a little longer because it required a different level of thought and discipline and compositions and presentation to do it at the level that it deserves to be presented at. A few weeks late to us it's not the big deal. I know I read a couple of analyst reports that are going, "Oh my God, it's late." I don't know. Was Tesla ever on time? It changed the whole car industry. It's not about, "Hey, I'm rushing to mediocrity here." We're trying to make big moves that are industry redefining. I think this is one of them. I think this is the biggest move we've ever made. It is fundamentally different on so many levels and opens up so many dimensions of a market. It also opens up the learning, right, that can be applied to modern and to interiors and so on and so forth. Thinking about how big is our market? When you think about what I just said about my daughter's mother, and she said, "Yeah, customers will say, 'Okay, do the primary rooms, and then use RH for these other rooms.'" Well, what's really interesting about that, our whole focus with the initial lens, the key part of the lens was Because we knew that, by the way. We said, "Let's win the primary rooms. Let's make sure we get the primary bedroom. If we get the primary bedroom, we have the assortment to get the other rooms. Let's get the primary dining room." When you see some of the dining tables we have, you go on 1stDibs that start at $250,000 with the most expensive dining table and go all the way through it, down to the prices we have it at. You won't find anything of our quality or design. We've went through all of it. We know every dining table on 1stDibs, at every competitor at the highest end to down. We spent a lot of time studying this market. The goal is the dining room, the primary living room, the primary bedroom. These goods can also eclectically be presented in a very cool way. You'll see it when it's all presented. It looks different than RH today, but it does look like RH today. I think you'll see a very big move. You're just going to see, like, "Whoa." I think the design community's going to go, "Whoa, I didn't know they had this in them." I know that's a long ramble, but I'm so excited. If you guys want to talk for the next five hours about RH Estates, you're going to have my attention. Thanks, Gary. Maybe a very quick follow-up for Jack. Given the tariff refund commentary in the queue, maybe just help us or confirm whether or not any refunds are included within the guidance. No further refunds. The refunds started coming, but they've been kind of paused. You might be following some of that activity as far as the DOJ and how those are playing out in the course. As far as the guidance reflects, does not reflect the free cash flow specifically, does not reflect any further tariff refunds. Thank you both. Your next question comes from the line of Michael Lasser with UBS. Please go ahead. Good evening. Thank you so much for taking my question. Sure. I wanted to dig in on the 500 basis points of contribution that you were expecting from RH Estates in the back half of the year. That's just under $100 million. What is the basis for that expectation? You've already alluded to the need to evolve some of the elements of the model or the way you interact with core customers like to trade. Do you think you need to make further changes to your customer acquisition engine beyond the legacy model of just simply mailing out a book and then expecting that the consumer will come, especially in this age where your competitors are going hard after social media and other forms of media that are reaching the consumer? Thank you. I don't know. They've been doing that for the last three years, and we've outperformed all of them. I think, when you say we're mailing a book and expecting people to come, we've built the greatest physical platform on the planet Earth for our kind of products. Right? Don't overlook the physical platform. Michael, if you look at that video I did last quarter, I outlined that furniture is the least digitized business. It's 80% done in stores. It's 20% done online. At the luxury level, it's 95/5. This is a business you need to see, touch, sit in, comfort, scale, all those kind of things. The book is just, it's a small way. We use it to integrate the whole thing. People look forward to getting our books. It's a physical thing. It's still said we have a digital book, too. I'm just not a believer in following the trends of a lot of people that are following other people. We just think it's massively unauthentic to pay some stranger, some influencer, to go talk about our goods, and they know nothing about us. They know nothing about the product. They're not an expert in the field. I think that's a lot of noise. Maybe it's good for building beauty brands to teenagers or other stuff like that. It doesn't affect what I buy, and I have a lot of homes. I don't think it affects our customer, or we wouldn't be the biggest brand of our kind. We wouldn't have outperformed everybody. Even if you look at this last quarter we have, and if you look at it at over a two-year basis or three-year basis. Over a two-year basis, only West Elm has performed as well as us. On a three-year basis, we're better than everybody. West Elm just had a great quarter, and I think they're doing a great job. If you look at anybody buying furniture, I tell people, when you go out there banging pots and pans and trying to get attention doing inauthentic things, you're just creating noise. You're creating your own noise. You wind up chasing things and thinking that they're relevant when they're not. We've tried and tested different things, and we have a lot of data behind what we've done and why we're doing what we do. Nobody thought we were smart to build the stores we did and the galleries we did, and those turned out pretty well. Everybody stopped mailing books, and we're still mailing books. The only difference right now in a point in time, you can put our model against anybody. Put it against today's very best customer. Back out our investments in international expansion, back out our investment in building RH Estates, which is not like some little introduction of an 80-page book that five or seven years later you wind up with one store. We're making serious investments to build a platform unlike anybody else. In a down market like this, is our model not going to look as good? Yeah. Okay. You're looking at people that aren't even investing. They're not building anything. They're trying to be great cost controllers. Yeah, just wait till the other side of this cycle for us, and I think we're going to have a cash generation machine that this industry's never seen. Understood. My follow-up question is about the margin profile of RH Estates. Is it sufficiently higher than the legacy business in order to fund the investments that you're doing, provide the incentives to the trade community, as well as anything else you might have on the horizon, and still drive the margin expansion that you've embedded in the back half? Or do you see other building blocks to arrive at the margin expansion that you're expecting? Thank you very much. Yeah. Estates has got its margin profile best based on the quality and exclusivity and desirability of those goods. Right? If you've got a level of design and quality and scarcity, and build desire, who knows what the margins will be. I think we determine our margins based on a competitive nature. If there's others selling something in the market, okay, is there a quality differentiation? How big is it? How different is the design? So on and so forth. What access do they have to the market? Do they have a big enough platform to matter? All kinds of things. We're not really doing margin building to pay for something like an incentive for the trade. The incentive for the trade, it's a simple model. We give X, and we need an X, and we need a list of Y. It's so minor on a model like ours because we have such leverage and flow-through. You have to think about our model. Our whole business has a different model than everybody else just because the price points of our product, versus most people selling furniture. We have significantly more leverage, just handling goods, shipping goods, delivering goods, so on and so forth. We have tremendous leverage in our interior design business because we're selling high average orders. Yes, there's an investment to do that work, but we have such leverage on the incremental sales. Again, it's a little masked today because of the investments we're making in international and things like Estates and so on and so forth. Yeah, we've got plenty of margin to cover what we're doing. We'll have plenty of margin growth going forward. Like I said, we're looking at what we believe the cash generation model of this business is going to look like because we think that's the most important metric. I think as we've moved past the peak investment cycle this year, we believe our top line is going to inflect up, kind of irrelevant of what the external market does, unless it really Look, if we get into a war that massively impacts the economy, the inflation, so on and so forth, that's going to put pressure on everyone. Those things happen. We don't need a big move in the housing market to grow. We don't even need a move in the housing market. I'm not counting on the guidance we just gave everyone. I'm not counting on the market getting any better. The market could get worse, I'd be surprised if we don't beat those numbers. A 5% incremental move on Estates is really conservative. Thank you very much, and good luck. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Simeon Gutman with Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead. Hi, Gary. Hey, Jack. I want to follow up on two items. First, Estates and top-line trajectory, and then my follow-up will be on the balance sheet. First on Estates, can you give us a sense of sequencing, how much of the collection is being launched? I assume it'll be continuous. What percentage of items on floors and galleries will be Estates? When should we expect that fully ramped? Should we be seeing the customer deposits line pick up a bit, not just from these back orders, but from Estates? I'll wait for the follow-up. How many questions did you just ask there a second ago? I'm trying to track. That was good. Simeon, I just saw you in Milan, but I thought you asked me all the questions you might have had. Maybe everybody on the phone should ask you questions about estates. You're one of the few people that saw it, that was set up in Milan. Okay. The sequencing of the products coming into stores, we will be kind of terracing in stores. When do we get to 60% of the sales, 65%? What was that? September. End of September. End of September, we'll be in the galleries that represent roughly 60%-65% of the business, roughly two-thirds of the business. What's the next wave that hits, Sed? Pretty much every month. Every month. December will be all galleries? Yes. Our second mailing of estates will be the early part of November. That will be a pretty meaningful expansion of the assortment. You'll see us building this assortment over the next couple of years. The customer. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There you go. Should we expect deposits to tick up- I mean, they follow our business. Yes. As revenues grow, demand is driven, the customer deposits tick up. Yeah. I'll put the follow-up. It's two parts in the follow-up. Should the deposits already be ticking up as these back orders exist, or no, that was already on deposits? Just thinking about balance sheet, like the business improves and inflects. As you said, Gary, there's a lot of leverage in it. The balance sheet cash flow stuff should resolve itself. Can you remind us, this path to getting debt-free by 2029, is there an update? What other steps are you taking to get to that? How much of a priority is it versus just letting the business now let the RH Estates collection speak for itself and then drive the natural deleverage of the business? I think we're pretty clear. It's a big priority. We outlined asset sales of what, $200 million-$250 million a year of the next two years. We just completed a transaction inside our Aspen real estate, where we sold some properties to our partner and sold the property to us, and we now have more independent control across a lot of properties that we can monetize more quickly than less quickly. How many properties did we take control of again? Eight or- Eight in total. Eight in total. We have 100% control now, we don't have to work through JV and a partnership to monetize things. David Stanchak is back, and Dave knows how to get deals done buying or selling. We also have real estate outside of the JV. There's that and there's the business performance, there's the spending inflection down, deflection, I guess you could call it. This is multi, Jack, I don't even want to jump in with anything, but it's really the spending comes down, the sales are going to go up, we'll have asset sales. Free cash flow will build- Yeah through that time period. Again, I think it's just reiterate what Gary said, which is it remains a priority. The exact timing of being debt-free, again, it's our target, it's our goal. I think importantly, just that making progress on those initiatives, that's what we're focused on. Yeah. I think, look, we have a history of being relatively creative with capital markets. We've had a lot of good timing before this four-year downturn of the housing market. Our buyback wasn't as well-timed as maybe our other buybacks and in our capital approach to it, I wish we would've locked it in, but we didn't. Many big banks that you guys work for told us, "Oh, no, don't lock it in. Interest rates aren't going up. Oh, no, there's still one little move." Then all of a sudden, we had the fastest rise of interest rates in the history of our lifetimes. You don't always get these things right. I mean, when our stock gets to the right levels, would we exercise convertible options to take down debt and move debt? We have so many ways to work the balance sheet to do things. You don't want to do any convertible debt at this level. We don't think our stock's going to be at this level very long, and we think it's going to move with our business and as we execute. Again, we're on the other side of the cycle. We're in our most prolific spending period of all time, and unfortunately, it was post-COVID, and we're building some of the most important things we've ever built, and it all costs a hell of a lot more than we would've built it pre-COVID. Unfortunate timing, but nonetheless, all short-term things to navigate around. I mean, once you spend the money, the money's behind you, right? I look at it and I say, there's some people that want to focus on operating margin, and we're going to carry a lot more depreciation. For investors who want to focus on that line, all right, focus on that line. Maybe some people are going to be a few hundred basis points better than us. We're going to be focused on EBITDA and cash flow. I think the smartest investor is going to be focused on that line. That's where we're going to be able to create, I think, the best returns in this industry. Thanks, guys. Product looks great. Good luck. Great, thanks, Simeon. Your next question comes from the line of Max Rakhlenko with TD Cowen. Please go ahead. Great. Thanks a lot for- You're welcome there, Max. Appreciate it. Thanks for taking my question. It's a follow-up. As you guys exit the investment cycle following the opening of London and the rollout of Estates, how should we think about what that margin inflection could look like over the medium term? You've obviously provided a second half outlook, how should we think about the medium-term margin power as you do start to benefit from the investments that you've made over the past few years? I think we gave you a longer-term outlook, we believe that's the right outlook and the right- Refer to the video timeline. Refer to the video, yeah. We've laid all that out. Again, we believe there's meaningful margin expansion, whether or not the housing market gets any better, just because of the cycle and coming around and the growth that we expect from these investments. The U.K. is an even worse shape than the U.S., right? It's even getting hit more than the U.S. from the war and stuff like that. You're talking about, we didn't exactly open at the most optimal time, from a housing point of view and from an economic point of view. The good news is, I've never seen an economy that stayed down forever. Now, I used to say I never saw a housing market that stayed down longer than 18 months in my career. Now, I don't think it's going to recover this year. We'll see 48 months. Will it go into a fifth year? It may. It all depends on inflation and interest rates. I think we're going to see a lot of leverage in this model either way. We're just really excited. It's one thing to talk about and conceptualize RH Estates and work on it, and work on it, and work on it, and tweak it, and tweak it, then when you see it all come together and you go through this accelerated learning at the end of a development of a new business like this. I don't think any of us have ever worked harder, because we're doing some of the most important galleries and opening the most important markets in the world and doing some of our best work from a platform and physical point of view, we're doing our best work from a product point of view and presentation point of view. I don't think there's ever been a higher level of excitement here. We have a lot of people here that have been a long time, 10-20 years, man, I think everybody sees it very clearly just how unique the product is, just how unique the positioning of the brand is. We're excited to see our efforts and work pay off and monetize for our shareholders. We're all shareholders here, right? Everybody's got skin in the game, everybody's got upside in this effort. Yep. Got it. That's helpful. Gary, as you guys scale and begin to open galleries in the U.S. with the new prototype, how do you think about the unit economics there? Do you think that you can generate similar revenues as the boxes that you've opened over the past decade? Should we assume that the new galleries, because they are going to cost less, should get you higher unit margins as well? Thank you. We do. I think we're going to have a great return on investment. We laid out for you guys in the video, the compound and the logic behind the compound, right? It's kind of disaggregating the multi-level, three-level gallery and saying, "What can you take out? What don't you need?" You don't need, in a compound, you don't need elevators. You don't need a grand staircase. You don't need exit stairwells. I don't think a lot of people know in all these big buildings, there's two exit stairwells that are all concrete, going up. There's a giant grand staircase. There's generally two elevators. There's all kinds of levels. There's a restaurant on a rooftop, that takes extra steel and bigger foundations to carry the load and takes complex mechanical systems to operate a building like that. We spent several years here dissecting that. We started seeing post-COVID, the cost became meaningfully more, two to two and a half times more in some cases. We broke it down and said, "Hey, how can we have an experience that's no less inspiring, and beautiful?" We came up with a compound. I think people are going to think it's the newest, greatest physical experience out there. In some ways, it's going to look to people like we maybe spent more money, right? Because they've never seen anything like it. It's going to look like these beautiful gardens you're walking through, but all that area doesn't need to be air-conditioned. You've got minimal lighting, garden lighting and stuff like that. We're aggregating all the bathrooms and toilets in one place. A lot of these buildings, they have electric and a small pipe with sprinkler heads. It's like imagine building a house without bedrooms and without bathrooms and kitchens and all the things that are really expensive, and you just aggregate everything in the center where the restaurant is. I think these things are really smart, and I think it would be really exciting. We're excited to unveil them. I think our secondary market galleries, we expect everything to be as productive, if not more productive. I would think all the new things we're going to open are going to be more productive because we've got a bigger assortment and we've got estates. If you think about how we've grown, we've grown through product expansion primarily in the early years because we had no capital, and then platform expansion, when we presented those goods at a physical level and the kind of lifts that we've talked about historically. Yeah, I think all of that we're so excited about. When we talk about going post-peak, from a spending point of view, the things that we're going under construction on, we still have a couple of leftover ones that are some cleanups that are a little bit more than we wanted to spend, just we couldn't redesign them. I think the whole model's going to look different, and the return on invested capital is going to get back, I think, to the levels we were at in our peak. I think we were, what? We hit like 75% return on invested capital. Yeah. I think we'll be at that kind of level. The good news is we're just so much smarter and have so much more experience and that'll all be reflected in the outcome and the economics. We got a little stuck. We're building in some expensive places and expensive cities that it's not like we could unwind those things and go, "Whoops. Let's not build in the most expensive cities in the world, with some of the most complex projects at exactly the most expensive time." The good news is, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? We're still here. That's great. Appreciate all the color and certainly look forward to London. Great. Look forward to seeing you, Max. Your next question comes from the line of Brian Nagel with Oppenheimer. Please go ahead. Hi, good evening. I appreciate you taking my question. I'll keep it short. I guess the question I want to ask is just on the guidance and you've already discussed this a bit, but the ramp in sales growth that's expected the second half of this year. Now you've talked a lot about Estates. I guess the way I want to frame the question is, as you look at the business today, the piece of business today, how much of a ramp do you have to have in that existing business in order to achieve, with the capacity to talk about these new pieces, to achieve that guidance for the second half of the year? Well, if you really look at the build of the back orders and special orders, our business is better than reflected in the revenue. We've got pretty big balances. Those balances are being created now, but we're not shipping those revenues, we're not shipping that demand yet because we still have transitional things and impacts from major resourcing. A lot of our people in all categories, the people are still catching up, and so we'll just see that. You have to look at it and say, "Okay, what does that look like? Where are we really? What is it building to?" You have to think about that flop that's kind of coming across, and a lot of that, when you think about that, Brian, there's a pretty big number that we don't have to drive demand to hit it. We've already driven that demand. You've got a big chunk of business that's going to just flop over to the second half. Does that make sense? No, conceptually, it makes sense. I apologize, but have you quantified that piece of, we'll use your term, Gary, the piece of business that will flop over to the second half that's already there? Yeah. Have you quantified that? That's in the little table. Yeah, in the letter. It's the $75 million or 4.5%. Okay. The backlog. That's in the demand now. Okay. Yeah. That's in the demand now. We're not reporting demand, we're reporting revenues. Yeah, that $75 million is on our books and will ship. Again, that is back orders and special orders over and above the normal rate. Over, yeah. We always have back orders, special orders in our business. This is- This is elevated because of unnatural things happening between or things that are taking more effort, like resourcing, transportation impacts, whatnot. That piece, that elevated piece over sort of normal, quote unquote, is what Gary and I are talking about for the second half. That's 4.5%. Yeah. Okay. That's helpful. I appreciate that. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you, Brian. Your next question comes from the line of Zach Fadem with Wells Fargo. Please go ahead. Zach, are you on? Zach, your line is open. Hey. Sorry about that. Good afternoon. First question on the initial response from Milan and your expectations for year one in the market, now that you have galleries open in both Milan and Paris with London around the corner, any revised thoughts on sales trajectory from the three? If you think New York is a good benchmark for what those markets could look like. Yeah. Look, I think they'll all be great markets over time, we've got to build the brand and build the customer base, build our design business, continue to build the pipeline, I think I've used before with the ramp, the first one was RH England, that's been open the longest and what that's ramped to in a not a great economy for the home business in the U.K., but in a store that's two hours outside of London with not a lot of people around. It gives us high hopes, and we have greater brand awareness in London for two reasons. There's a lot more expats, there's a lot more people that have lived in New York and gone back and forth. There's a lot more people that know the brand. Everybody speaks the same language, so on and so forth. We've meaningfully higher brand awareness, and we've been open out in the Cotswolds, the English countryside now for three years. We're kind of just getting started in Paris, we're just open in Milan, we like what we see. We like the responses that we're seeing, the key for us is build the design books and get the ramps. I think as these mature and grow, I think we're going to like the outcome. London, I was just talking to the team about this, London is the accelerator for all of it. Because everybody goes to London. It is the financial hub, if you were going to be in one place, you'd be in London, if you were going to be two, you'd be in London and Paris or London and Milan. They're pretty close, for slightly different reasons. Milan is the center of the universe for the home design business because of Salone and Design Week, the eyeballs you can get, that not just from designers but from true customers. They come. They fly in with their architects and their interior designers, they're shopping from all the brands at the shows. I think these three are the core of the platform. These are the three key things. This is the foundation of building a global brand outside of the United States of America, right? I think I'd say, someone told me once they heard Bernard Arnault was asked a question, "How do you build a brand in China?" Apparently, his response is, "You build great stores in Paris, London, and New York." We've just done it backwards, and we threw Milan in there because it's so important for our industry, right? Yeah, really once we get London going, I think the whole thing is game on. I think London will create the biggest echo. It's where we're known the most. It's where we should ramp the fastest, do the most volume, and because everybody travels into London for so many different reasons, you've got a huge Middle Eastern customer there that lives between London and the Middle East, and the U.S. for that matter, that I think knows our brand and is going to respond to our brand. I just think the echo of London is going to amplify Milan and Paris and every other gallery that we've opened. Thanks for that, Gary. Just quick one for Jack. I think the opening costs in Q1 you said would be about 420 basis points if that ended up being the case, for Q2, you're guiding, I think, 380 basis points for London. Could you just help us out on which of those costs should we consider transitory and come out in the second half of the year versus costs there that are now in the base and will persist? Q1 ended up 450 basis points, so right there with the 420 basis points. We're not guiding specifically the quarters. You got the year at 270 basis points. I guess you can back into some math as to a 450 basis points and a 380 basis points and how they average out to a 270 basis points on the year would be one way to approach it, and that delta being transitory. Let's call it mid-100s in the back half, and the delta between that and the numbers for Q1 and Q2 are the transitory sort of pre-opening driven related to the openings. Got it. Thanks for the time. Got it. Your next question comes from the line of Jonathan Matuszewski with Jefferies. Please go ahead. Oh, great. Good evening. Thanks for squeezing me in. Just one question here. Gary, could you share some context on why now is the right time to pursue a loyalty program that compensates your trade clients? Presumably, you've maybe considered this pivot in the past. What makes now the right time to roll this out? If you could discuss maybe just the overall growth trend in your trade business in recent years relative to the end consumer business, that would be helpful. Whether trade has been outperforming consumer and this is the playbook to supercharge it, or has trade been underperforming, and this is a way to improve the trend. Thanks so much. For those competitors that report trade, I think we've been over-performing the last three years. We've got a very strong trade business. We have great leadership, great teams, very high-quality people. They live and breathe our values, that have built great organizations. Yeah, it becomes a supercharge. Look, I'm the guy that we used to have a trade incentive program. I took it out. Again, it's a lot of people's debate, but when we were making the move to membership. Was it the right call or not? I don't know. Probably not now that I reflect on it with the wisdom I have today, versus what I saw and felt in, what was that, 2016, right? Yeah. Yeah, 10 years ago. Yeah, I just don't think I was thinking about it correctly. Why is now the right time is because of estates. Estates opens up the very top of the market for this brand. No other brand has goods at this level of design and quality. No one at the retail level. They may tell you they do, they've probably never been into these businesses that we bought. We've taken what we do really well and amplified those assortments. You're going to see things you've never seen before, and dimensionalized in a way and presented in a way just doesn't exist. Why wouldn't you want to open up the best interior designers in the world to what we're doing today? We're just smarter, honestly. I look back, if I said today, "If I knew what I know today, would I have made the same decisions?" No. I would not have made the same decision. I'm smarter today. I know more today. I have more knowledge. It's funny because I was married to an interior designer. Kendall and I were together for 11 years. I knew her business pretty well. It helped me conceptualize what to do with RH, quite frankly. That helped me see the opportunity. I don't think I really understood the market and correctly. It's changed too. There's more and more people that You have growth and wealth, right? There's more and more people that have the financial ability to use interior designers. Yeah, there's more use. People are more exposed to design and quality. Better houses and better design everywhere. Yeah, we're happy to be advocates and partners and open up our platform and support them in a greater way. I think, look, today, it's a big part of our business today. Our trade business is a big part of our business. It's not a little part. We think it could be meaningfully bigger. When people say, "Oh, you're going to sanctify them," the lift we have to get is very small on incremental business. I mean, we have massive flow-through on this model. Thanks, and best of luck. Thank you. That concludes our question and answer session. I will now turn the call back to Gary Friedman for closing remarks. Great. Thank you, everyone, for your time and your questions and for the conversation today. I just want to say to our teams across the country, across the world, across our campus here, I think everybody knows what we're working on. Everybody knows what we're aspiring to do. I think this is one of the most important times in the history of RH. I couldn't be more proud of the work everyone's doing and the organization that's been built here based on our values and beliefs. Our work is going to a new level. I think our performance is going to go into a new level, and it's all because of the team members who have built this thing over the last 25 years that I've been here. I just want to thank everyone. Everybody's effort is important and contributes to this cause. I think we're going to feel very proud here very soon, even prouder than we've ever felt. Can't wait to share it with you. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's call. Thank you all for joining. You may now disconnect.
