Total net revenues fell 0.8% year over year. Restoration Hardware cited 4 points of revenue drag from SKU rationalization and 2 points of drag from incremental outlet sales last year. Meanwhile, comparable brand revenue increased 1% in the quarter.

Quarterly adjusted net income improved to $33.5 million from just $1.8 million last year. Adjusted operating margin was 9.6% in the quarter, up from 1.5% in the year-ago period.

“We articulated at the beginning of the year that we will be managing the business with a bias for earnings versus revenue growth in fiscal 2018. We will restrain ourselves from chasing low quality sales at the expense of profitability like many in our industry, and instead focus on building an operating platform that will enable us to compete and win over the long-term,” said CEO Gary Friedman.

Restoration Hardware also raised its fiscal 2018 guidance for the second time this year. The company now expects adjusted net revenues in the range of $2.53 to $2.57 billion and adjusted earnings of $6.34 per share to $6.83 per share. Prior to today’s report, our Zacks Consensus Estimates were calling for revenue of $2.55 billion and earnings of $5.85 per share.
