“While we believe a conservative view of revenues in the fourth quarter is prudent due to the uncertainties posed by the new virus variant, the postponed opening of our new San Francisco Gallery until the spring, and the continued shipping and port delays, the power of our operating model gives us the confidence to raise our outlook for fiscal 2021 for the third time this year,” the company said in a statement.
RH expects fiscal 2021 revenue growth of between 32% and 33%, or $3.76 billion to $3.79 billion. Previously, RH had forecast a 31% to %33 gain. Analysts expect revenue of $3.76 billion.
