(“Homeworks,” or “Class A Units”) and the unit holders (“Management Unitholders”) of LLC, a series of transactions were completed on November 8, 2021, which we refer to, collectively, as the “Reorganization.” LLC and Homeworks were identified as entities under common control, in which both entities are ultimately controlled by the same party before and after the Reorganization and therefore resulted in a change in reporting entity. In accordance with ASC 805-50-45-5, for transactions between entities under common control, the condensed consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the Reorganization have been adjusted to retrospectively combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Accordingly, all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated through the consolidation process.
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’equity (deficit) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related interim condensed consolidated disclosures are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
In management’s opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2022; the results of operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders’equity (deficit) for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
The results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accounting estimates and other matters included within our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are revenue recognition, including a reserve for merchandise returns, goodwill and fair value of financial instruments which include, but are not limited to, accounts receivable, payables, lease obligations, equity based compensation and a derivative instrument.
Client Deposits
Client deposits represent payments made by clients on orders. At the time of purchase, the Company collects deposits for all orders equivalent to at least 50 percent of the clients’ purchase price. Orders are recognized as revenue when the merchandise is delivered to the client and at the time of delivery the client deposit is no longer recorded as a liability. The Company expects substantially all client deposits as of March 31, 2022 will be recognized as net revenue within the next 12 months as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Gift Cards
The Company sells gift cards to clients in our Showrooms and through our website. Such gift cards do not have expiration dates. We defer revenue when payments are received in advance of performance for unsatisfied obligations related to our gift cards. The liability related to unredeemed gift cards of $0.9 million and $0.9 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, is recorded in the accrued other expenses line item of the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes income associated with breakage proportional to actual gift card redemptions.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The Company’s primary financial instruments are accounts receivable, payables, lease obligations, derivatives and equity based compensation instruments. Due to the short-term maturities of accounts receivable and payables, the Company believes the fair values of these instruments approximate their respective carrying values at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. See Note 4 for discussion of our derivative, Note 5 for discussion of our lease obligations and Note 6 for discussion of our equity based compensation instruments.
The Company has established a hierarchy to measure our financial instruments at fair value, which requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources, whereas unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own market assumptions, which are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. The hierarchy defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity but rather through particular valuation techniques.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
New Accounting Standards Adopted
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases which, for operating leases, requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, in its balance sheets. While it will still be necessary for lessees to distinguish between “operating” and “financing” (formerly known as “capital”) leases, these distinctions will primarily affect how a lessee must recognize expense in its income statement. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021.
The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective approach by applying the transition provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption. Comparative periods will continue to be presented in accordance with ASC 840. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carryforward the historical lease classification, lease identification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the “Land Easements” or “Hindsight” practical expedients. Additionally, the Company made the following accounting policy elections in connection with the adoption:
Exclude short-term leases from our consolidated balance sheets; and
Include both the lease and non-lease components as a single component and account for it as a lease.
As a result, the Company measured the right-of-use asset and lease liability for operating and finance leases as of January 1, 2022, using the remaining portion of the lease term that was determined under ASC 840. The adoption resulted in $242.0 million recognized as total right-of-use assets and $326.5 million recognized as total lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2022. For certain previous operating and capital leases, we qualified as the deemed owner of the construction project due to our significant involvement during the construction period under build-to-suit lease accounting requirements within ASC 840. As part of our adoption of ASC 842, we derecognized the cost of these construction projects of $31.0 million, which were previously recorded in property, furniture and equipment, net with an offsetting obligation in accrued other expenses on our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2021. See Note 5 Leases for additional information.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, “Codification Improvements.” The amendments in this update represent changes to clarify the Codification or correct unintended application of guidance that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice. The amendments in this update affect a wide variety of Topics in the Codification and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. ASU 2020-10 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 for non-public business entities. Early application is permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted the standard in the current period. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
3. Merchandise Warranties
The Company warrants certain merchandise to be free of defects in both construction materials and workmanship from the date the performance obligation was fulfilled to the client for three to ten years depending on the merchandise category. The Company accounts for merchandise warranties by accruing an estimated liability when we recognize revenue on the sale of warrantied merchandise. We estimate future warranty claims based on claim experience which includes materials and labor costs to perform the repairs or replace products. We use judgment in making our estimates. We record differences between our estimated and actual costs when the differences are known.

A reconciliation of the changes in our limited merchandise warranty liability is as follows (amounts in thousands):
Three months ended March 31,
20222021
Balance as of beginning of period$4,724 $3,326 
Accruals during the period2,196 1,592 
Settlements during the period(1,957)(1,341)
Balance as of end of the period (1)$4,963 $3,577 
(1) $2.9 million and $2.7 million were recorded in accrued other expenses at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The remainder is recorded in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We recorded accruals during the periods presented in the table above, primarily to reflect charges that relate to limited merchandise warranties issued during the respective periods.
4. Long-Term Debt
On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into a credit agreement (“Revolver”), which included a revolving credit facility of $30.0 million with availability limited pursuant to a borrowing base formula based on specified percentages of eligible inventory, net of reserves. The Company’s borrowings under the Revolver bore variable interest rates at the LIBOR index rate (“LIBOR”) plus the applicable margin (5.5% at March 31, 2021). In the event LIBOR ceased to be available during the term of the Revolver, the Revolver provided procedures to determine an Alternate Base Rate. The Revolver was to expire on June 25, 2023.
Loan costs related to the Revolver of $1.5 million were recorded in other noncurrent assets and were amortized over the term of the debt on a straight-line basis, which approximated the effective interest method. Amortization expense was $0.1 million for three months ended March 31, 2021, and was included in interest expense within the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. On November 4, 2021, the Company terminated the Revolver of which there were no borrowings drawn.
On November 8, 2021, the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility (the “2021 Credit Facility”). The 2021 Credit Facility provides for, among other things, (1) a revolving credit facility, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such lender’s commitment, (2) a letter of credit commitment, in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) $10.0 million, and (b) the amount of the revolving credit facility as of such date, and (3) a swingline loan, in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) $5.0 million, and (b) the amount of the revolving credit facility as of such date. The aggregate amount of all commitments of all lenders under the 2021 Credit Facility is $50.0 million, which may be increased pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Credit Facility. The 2021 Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants and has certain financial covenants, including a minimum rent-adjusted total leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge ratio. The 2021 Credit Facility bears variable interest rates at the prevailing Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield index rate plus the applicable margin (1.50% at March 31, 2022), whereas the applicable margin is adjusted quarterly based on the Company’s consolidated rent-adjusted total leverage ratio. The 2021 Credit Facility expires on November 8, 2026.
At March 31, 2022, we had no borrowings on the 2021 Credit Facility. Deferred financing costs related to the 2021 Credit Facility of $0.3 million are recorded in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized over the term of the debt on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.
Prior to the Company entering into the Revolver and 2021 Credit Facility, the debt structure (“Prior Credit Facilities”) included a revolving credit facility (the “Prior Revolver”) and a term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Prior Revolver was terminated on June 25, 2020 and Term Loan was paid in full on December 28, 2020.
The Company’s Term Loan had an exit fee clause which allowed the holder of the Term Loan to receive either $3.0 million upon repayment of the Term Loan or a payout equivalent to 4.0% of the total equity value of the Company. The 4.0% of the total equity value of the Company payout was payable upon a change of control, qualified IPO or sale of all or

(Unaudited)
substantially all assets of the Company. In connection with the repayment of the Term Loan on December 28, 2020, the holder informed the Company they would decline the option to receive the $3.0 million and elect to receive a payout equivalent to 4.0% of the equity value of the Company. The exit fee was treated as a derivative and adjusted to fair value each reporting period. The Company recorded derivative expense of $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which was included in selling, general and administrative expense within the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the IPO to pay the derivative liability on November 8, 2021.
The Company used a discounted cash flow method and guideline public company method to determine the fair value of equity which was used to calculate the fair value of the exit fee. The key assumptions used within the Black-Scholes OPM as of March 31, 2021 were as follows:
March 31,
2021
Term10 years
Risk-free rate of return1.70%
Volatility40.00%
Dividend yield0%
The assumed volatility assumption is based on that of an identified group of comparable public companies. The fair value of the exit fee has been determined utilizing unobservable inputs and therefore is a Level 3 measurement under the fair value hierarchy.
The Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
5. Leases
The Company leases real estate and equipment under operating and finance leases, some of which are from related parties as discussed in Note 10 Related Party Transactions. The most significant obligations under these lease agreements require the payments of periodic rentals, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Depending on particular Showroom leases, the Company can also owe a percentage rent payment if particular Showrooms meet certain sales figures.

The following table summarizes the amounts recognized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets related to leases as of March 31, 2022 (amounts in thousands):

Rent expense, amortization of landlord improvements and percentage rent expense calculated under ASC 840 was $15.7 million, $2.8 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.
We often have options to renew lease terms for Showrooms and other assets. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at our sole discretion. In addition, certain lease agreements may be terminated prior to their original expiration date at our discretion. We evaluate each renewal and termination options at the lease commencement date to determine if we are reasonably certain to exercise the option on the basis of economic factors. The table below summarizes the weighted average remaining lease terms as of March 31, 2022.

The discount rate implicit within our finance leases was determined at the time of lease commencement. However, the discount rate implicit within our operating leases is generally not determinable at the time of lease commencement and

therefore the Company determines the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate. For all operating leases, the Company utilized a market-based approach to estimate the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”), which required significant judgment. The Company estimated the base IBR based on an analysis of (i) yields on the Company’s 2021 Credit Facility, as well as comparable companies and (ii) unsecured yields and discount rates. The Company applied adjustments to the base IBRs to account for full collateralization and lease term. The table below summarizes the weighted average discount rate used to measure our lease liabilities as of March 31, 2022.

7. Segment Reporting
Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making decisions, assessing financial performance and allocating resources. We operate our business as one operating segment and therefore we have one reportable segment that offers an assortment of merchandise across a number of categories, including furniture, outdoor, lighting, textiles, and décor. The assortment of merchandise can be purchased through our retail and eCommerce sales channels.
The majority of our net revenue is generated through sales to clients in the United States. Sales to clients outside of the United states are not significant. Further, no single client represents more than ten percent or more of our net revenue.
The following table shows net revenue by merchandise sales channel for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (amounts in thousands):

8. Net and Comprehensive Income per Share
As a result of the Reorganization and IPO, existing Class A and Class B Unitholders of LLC were issued Class B and Class A common stock in the Company, respectively. The Class A Unitholders received 80,792,206 shares of Class B common stock and the Class B Unitholders received 31,266,536 shares of Class A common stock. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all periods presented in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and this note have been adjusted retroactively, where applicable, to reflect the Reorganization.
Basic and diluted net and comprehensive income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, was calculated by adjusting net and comprehensive income attributable to Arhaus, Inc. for net and comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interest, and dividing by basic and diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Management Incentive Unitholders did not participate in the earnings or losses of the Company as of March 31, 2021 and therefore were not participating securities. As such, they were not included within the calculation of basic or diluted earnings per share as of March 31, 2021.
Basic and diluted net and comprehensive income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, is as follows (amounts in thousands except unit and per unit data):

9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in litigation and claims that are incidental to its business. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be determined at the present time, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
From time to time, the Company has received inquiries from a number of state and local taxing agencies with respect to the remittance of sales, use, telecommunications, excise, and income taxes. Several jurisdictions are currently conducting tax audits of the Company's records. The Company collects, or has accrued for, taxes that it believes are required to be remitted. The amounts that have been remitted have historically been within the accruals established by the Company. The Company adjusts its accrual when facts relating to specific exposures warrant such adjustment. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we recorded liabilities of $1.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in accrued taxes on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for non-income tax matters that were probable and reasonably estimable.
10. Related Party Transactions
Leasing transactions
In November 2000, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Pagoda Partners, LLC, a company of which John Reed, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), indirectly owns 50%, for our warehouse in Walton Hills, Ohio. The base lease term was 17 years with a 5-year renewal option. In August 2020, the Company amended the lease agreement to extend the lease term to April 2024 with the ability to extend the lease in 12-month increments thereafter. The monthly rental payments are $0.1 million. Rent expense was $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
In July 2010, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Brooklyn Arhaus, a company of which our CEO and Mr. Beargie, a Director of Arhaus, Inc., own 85% and 15%, respectively, for our Outlet in Brooklyn, Ohio. The base lease term is 15 years with no lease renewal options. The monthly rental payments are $20 thousand. Rent expense was $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
In September 2014, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Premier Arhaus, LLC, a company of which our CEO indirectly owned 50% during 2021, on a triple net basis for our headquarters building and distribution center, with construction completed during 2016. The base lease term is 17 years, with a 10-year renewal option at fixed rental payments, and with two additional 5-year renewal options at fair market rent. The monthly rental payments range from $0.2 million to $0.5 million during the 17-year base lease term and from $0.5 million to $0.6 million during the 10-year renewal period. In September 2021, the Company amended the existing finance lease agreement to extend the lease term

(Unaudited)
for an additional three years, which included monthly rental payments of $0.6 million. Further, the amended lease agreement provides for the expansion of the Company’s distribution center and monthly rental payments range from $0.1 million to $0.2 million. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the lessor sold its interest in the leased assets to a third party. As a result, the lease will no longer be with a related party of the Company. Rent expense was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
In March 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Premier Conover, LLC, a company of which our CEO indirectly owned 10%, for a distribution center and manufacturing building, for which construction was completed in the fourth quarter of 2021. The base lease term is for 12 years, with a 10-year renewal option and two additional 5-year renewal options at the higher of the minimum base rent or the fair market rent at the time of renewal execution. The monthly rental payments range from $0.2 million to $0.3 million during the 12-year base lease term and from $0.4 million to $0.5 million during the 10-year renewal period. Rent expense was $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Other transactions
In accordance with the change in reporting entity, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include a related-party receivable and a related-party note receivable between Homeworks and our CEO for $0.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively at March 31, 2021. The receivable and the full principal on the note receivable, including accrued interest, were paid back to the Company by the CEO in May 2021.
In accordance with the Reorganization, the Company has accounts payable due to noncontrolling interests of LLC for state and federal income tax refunds filed for tax periods prior to the Reorganization. The accounts payable due to related parties were $2.3 million and $2.9 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are included within accounts payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
11. Income Taxes
Income taxes were $5.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The effective tax rate was 26.8% and 7.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Prior to the Reorganization, the Company was a limited liability company under the Internal Revenue Code that had elected to be taxed as a partnership and did not pay federal or most state corporate income taxes on its taxable income, but rather its members were liable for their respective portions of the taxable income (loss) of Arhaus, LLC. The income tax provision included state and local tax in certain jurisdictions prior to the Reorganization. Subsequent to the Reorganization, Arhaus, LLC’s taxable income flows through to FS Arhaus and Homeworks who are subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income taxes.
As of March 31, 2022, no unrecognized tax benefits have been recognized. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and various state and local jurisdictions. The tax years after 2017 remain open to examination by the state taxing jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any state tax jurisdiction.

Effects of COVID-19 on Our Business
While we have been able to serve our clients and operate our business through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, there can be no assurance that future events will not have an impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition since the extent and duration of the pandemic remains uncertain. Future adverse developments in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, including additional waves or resurgences of COVID-19 outbreaks, new strains or variants of the virus, evolving international, federal, state and local restrictions and safety regulations in response to COVID-19 risks, changes in consumer behavior and health concerns, the pace of economic activity in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, or other similar issues could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition in the future.
Various constraints in our merchandise supply chain have resulted in delays in our ability to convert demand into net revenue at normal historical rates. We anticipate that the business conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to adversely affect the capacity of our vendors and supply chain to meet our demand during fiscal year 2022. We expect that our supply chain may catch up to demand in the foreseeable future, but business circumstances and operational conditions in numerous international locations where our vendors operate cannot be predicted with certainty.
How We Assess the Performance of Our Business
In addition to U.S. GAAP results, this Form 10-Q contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We use these 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 are 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.
The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein are specific to us and may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies because of differing methods used by other companies in calculating them. These measures are also not intended to be measures of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as they do not reflect tax payments, debt service requirements and certain other cash costs that may recur in the future, including, among other things, cash requirements for working capital needs. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our U.S.

Table of Contents
GAAP results in addition to using these non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. We consider the following financial and operating measures that affect our results of operations:
Net Revenue and Demand. Net revenue is recognized when a client obtains control of the merchandise. We also track demand in our business which is a key performance indicator linked to the level of client orders placed. 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.
Comparable Growth. Comparable growth is 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 comparable Showrooms and eCommerce, including through our catalogs and other mailings. This metric is a key performance indicator used by management to evaluate Showroom performance for locations that have been opened for at least 15 consecutive months, which enables management to view the performance of those Showrooms without the dollar value of orders delivered for new Showrooms being included. Comparable Showrooms are defined as permanent Showrooms open for at least 15 consecutive months, including relocations in the same market. Showrooms record demand immediately upon opening, while orders delivered take additional time because product must be delivered to the client. Comparable Showrooms that were temporarily closed during the year due to COVID-19 were not excluded from the comparable Showroom calculation. The dollar value of orders delivered for Outlet comparable locations are included.
Demand Comparable Growth. Demand comparable growth is the year-over-year percentage change of demand from our comparable Showrooms and eCommerce, including through our direct-mail catalog. This metric is a key performance indicator used by management to evaluate Showroom demand performance for locations that have been opened for at least 13 consecutive months, which enables management to view the performance of those Showrooms without new Showroom demand included. For demand purposes, comparable Showrooms are defined as permanent Showrooms open for at least 13 consecutive months, including relocations in the same market. Comparable Showrooms that were temporarily closed during the year due to COVID-19 were not excluded from the comparable Showroom calculation. Outlet comparable location demand is included.
Demand comparable growth provides insight into business levels in a particular period by comparing the dollar value of orders (based on purchase price) placed in that period to the prior comparable period. Although these orders do not result in net revenue until the order is delivered at a later point in time, management utilizes this metric to evaluate core performance.
Comparable growth is an additional measure that management utilizes to compare the dollar value of orders delivered (based on purchase price) in a period compared to the prior comparable period. Since delivery generally coincides with recognition of net revenue, with appropriate reserves, comparable growth trends will more closely track trends in reported net revenue than demand comparable growth trends. While increases or decreases in demand comparable growth will translate into increases or decreases in comparable growth over time, the trends do not necessarily correlate in any particular period. This is partially due to the general lag in time between when an order is placed and when an order is delivered. When the time gap from order to delivery increases, due to supply chain challenges for example, it may take longer for comparable growth to reflect demand comparable growth. Notwithstanding these limitations, management considers it useful to assess both measures together to get a more complete picture of overall performance trends, and believes these measures can be useful to investors for the same purpose, when viewed together with our reported results and other metrics.
Gross Margin. Gross margin is equal to our net revenue less cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold includes the direct cost of purchased merchandise, inventory shrinkage, inbound freight, all freight costs to get merchandise to our Showrooms, credit card fees, design, buying and allocation costs, occupancy costs related to Showroom operations and our supply chain, such as rent and common area maintenance for our leases, depreciation and amortization of leasehold improvements, equipment and other assets in our Showrooms and distribution centers. In addition, cost of goods sold includes all logistics costs associated with shipping product to our clients, partially offset by delivery fees collected from clients (recorded in net revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income).
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses include all operating costs not included in cost of goods sold. These expenses include payroll and payroll related expenses, Showroom expenses other than occupancy and expenses related to many of our operations at our corporate headquarters, including
19

Table of Contents
marketing, information technology, utilities and depreciation and amortization expense. Payroll includes both fixed compensation and variable compensation. Variable compensation includes Showroom commissions and Showroom bonus compensation related to demand, likely before the client obtains control of the merchandise. Variable compensation is not significant in our eCommerce channel. All new Showroom opening expenses, other than occupancy, are included in SG&A expenses and are expensed as incurred. We expect certain of these expenses to continue to increase as we open new Showrooms, develop new product categories and otherwise pursue our current business initiatives. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net revenue are usually higher in lower-volume quarters and lower in higher-volume quarters because a significant portion of the costs are relatively fixed.
EBITDA. We define EBITDA as consolidated net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of operating performance as the adjustments eliminate items that we believe are not reflective of underlying operating performance in a particular period. Adjusted EBITDA facilitates a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and provides for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.
Because adjusted EBITDA omits certain non-cash items and items that we believe are not reflective of underlying operating performance in a particular period, we feel that it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and can be more reflective of our operating performance in a particular period. We also use adjusted EBITDA as a method for planning and forecasting overall expected performance and for evaluating, on a quarterly and annual basis, actual results against such expectations.
The following is a reconciliation of our net and comprehensive income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented:

Factors Affecting the Comparability of our Results of Operations
Our results over the past two years have been affected by the following events, which must be understood in order to assess the comparability of our period-to-period financial performance and condition.
Showroom Openings and Closings
New Showrooms contribute incremental expense and net revenue to the Company. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, we opened no new Showrooms and closed one Showroom. In 2021, we opened ten Showrooms and closed five Showrooms. Of the five Showroom closures in 2021, three were related to relocations in 2021.

Financing Transactions
We repaid our Term Loan in full on December 28, 2020. The derivative expense relates to the change in the fair value of the exit fee at the end of each reporting period. The exit fee, which was payable in cash at the time the initial public offering was consummated, was calculated as 4% of the total equity value of the Company, based on the valuation determined in connection with the initial public offering, which valuation included, among other factors, (a) the initial public offering price, plus (b) cash, minus (c) any outstanding indebtedness, minus (d) transaction expenses, minus (e) the equity value of the preferred equity interests of Arhaus, LLC and all subsidiaries received on the closing date of the term loan, minus (f) the value of management incentive units in effect on the closing date of the term loan or issued after the closing date pursuant to management incentive plans in existence on the closing date. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the derivative expense related to the change in fair value of the exit fee was $11.5 million. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the IPO to pay the derivative liability of $64.1 million in full on November 8, 2021.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
Net Revenue
Net revenue increased $75.0 million, or 43.8%, to $246.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $171.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was driven primarily by increased delivery of orders in the backlog as our supply chain continues to improve, as well as strong demand in both Showroom and eCommerce channels.
Comparable growth was 40.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 37.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Demand comparable growth was 8.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 90.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Demand comparable growth for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was impacted by Showroom closures in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased $27.4 million, or 38.9%, to $97.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $70.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Gross margin improvement was driven by the increase in net revenue, partially offset by $29.8 million of higher product costs, $10.8 million of increased transportation costs and $3.8 million of increased variable rent expense due to the increase in net revenue, and $1.6 million of higher credit card fees related to higher demand during these time periods.
As a percentage of net revenue, gross margin decreased 140 basis points to 39.7% of net revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 41.1% of net revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The gross margin decrease was primarily the result of higher product costs, transportation costs and variable rent, partially offset by our ability to leverage our fixed Showroom occupancy costs over higher net revenue and leverage on credit card fees related to demand. In particular, product costs, transportation costs and variable rent as a percentage of net revenue increased by 430 basis points, while non-variable Showroom occupancy costs, which are not dependent on revenue levels, were lower as a percentage of net revenue, contributing 250 basis points to the margin.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses increased $15.8 million, or 26.8%, to $74.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $59.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily driven by a $12.2 million increase in corporate expenses, an $11.5 million increase in warehouse expenses to support the growth of the business and $3.1 million of public company related costs. This was partially offset by the non-recurrence of the derivative expense in the prior year related to the change in the fair value of the Term Loan exit fee of $11.5 million.

As a percentage of net revenue, SG&A expenses decreased 410 basis points to 30.4% of net revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to 34.5% of net revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased $0.1 million to $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 interest expense was primarily related to our finance lease liabilities.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $5.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $0.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Prior to the Reorganization, the Company was a limited liability company under the Internal Revenue Code that had elected to be taxed as a partnership and did not pay federal or most state corporate income taxes on its taxable income, but rather its members were liable for their respective portions of the taxable income (loss) of Arhaus, LLC. Income tax expense included state and local taxes in certain jurisdictions prior to the Reorganization. Subsequent to the Reorganization, Arhaus, LLC’s taxable income flows through to FS Arhaus and Homeworks who are subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income taxes.

Net and Comprehensive Income
Net and comprehensive income increased $6.8 million to $16.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $9.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was driven by the factors described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Outlook
Our primary cash needs have historically been for merchandise inventories, payroll, marketing catalogs, Showroom rent, capital expenditures associated with opening new Showrooms and updating existing Showrooms, as well as the development of our infrastructure and information technology. We seek out and evaluate opportunities for effectively managing and deploying capital in ways that improve working capital and support and enhance our business initiatives and strategies. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $148.8 million.
In November 2021, we entered into the 2021 Credit Facility with Bank of America, N.A. and the lenders party thereto. The 2021 Credit Facility provides for, among other things, (1) a revolving credit facility, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such lender’s commitment, (2) a letter of credit commitment, in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) $10.0 million, and (b) the amount of the revolving credit facility as of such date, and (3) a swingline loan, in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) $5.0 million, and (b) the amount of the revolving credit facility as of such date. The aggregate amount of all commitments of all lenders under the 2021 Credit Facility is $50.0 million, which may be increased pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Credit Facility. The 2021 Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants and has certain financial covenants, including a minimum rent-adjusted total leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge ratio. The 2021 Credit Facility bears variable interest rates at the prevailing Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield index rate plus the applicable margin (1.50% at March 31, 2022), whereas the applicable margin is adjusted quarterly based on the Company’s consolidated rent-adjusted total leverage ratio. At March 31, 2022, we had no borrowings on the 2021 Credit Facility.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity were cash flows from operations, including client deposits. We believe our operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements and fulfill other capital needs for at least the next 12 months, although we may enter into borrowing arrangements in the future or if conditions change.
While we do not require debt to fund our operations, our goal continues to be to position the Company to take advantage of the many opportunities that we may identify in connection with our business and operations. We have pursued in the past, and may pursue in the future, additional strategies to generate capital to pursue opportunities and investments, including new debt financing arrangements. In addition to funding the normal operations of our business, we have used our liquidity to fund investments and strategies such as supply chain expansion and growth initiatives. In addition, our capital needs and uses of capital may change in the future due to changes in our business or new opportunities that we choose to pursue.
Capital expenditures
We have invested significant capital expenditures in opening new Showrooms, and these capital expenditures have increased in the past and may continue to increase in future periods as we open additional Showrooms. Our capital expenditures include expenditures related to investing activities and outflows of capital related to construction activities to design and build landlord-owned leased assets, net of tenant allowances received. Certain lease arrangements require the landlord to fund a portion of the construction related costs through payments directly to us. New Showrooms may require different levels of capital investment on our part in the future.
In addition, we continue to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business with respect to real estate development and the introduction of new Showrooms. A range of factors involved in the development of new Showrooms may continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic including delays in construction as well as permitting and other necessary governmental actions. In addition, the scope and cadence of investments by third parties, including landlords and other real estate counterparties, may be adversely affected by the health crisis. Actions taken by federal, state and local government authorities, and in some instances mall and shopping center owners, in response to the pandemic may require changes to our real estate strategy and related capital expenditures. In addition, we may be required to make lease payments in whole or in part for our Showrooms in the event that they are required to close in the future due to resurgences in COVID-19 outbreaks or for other reasons. Any efforts to mitigate the costs of construction delays and deferrals, retail closures and other operational difficulties, including any such difficulties resulting from COVID-19, such as by negotiating with landlords and other third parties regarding the timing and amount of payments under existing contractual

arrangements, may not be successful, and as a result, our real estate strategy may have ongoing significant liquidity needs even as we make changes to our planned operations and expansion cadence.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
Net cash provided by operating activities was $35.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $73.1 million net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in our net cash provided by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2022 was impacted by several factors: higher inventory levels; lower change in client deposits from improved delivery of backlog orders and lower demand comparable growth of 8.3% versus demand comparable growth of 90.3% in the first quarter of 2021; and lower non-cash items in the current period, particularly the nonrecurring derivative expense in the prior year related to the change in the fair value of the Term Loan exit fee, which reduced our net income without any corresponding adverse impact to our cash generation. These items were partially offset by increases in: accounts payable; accrued expenses; and the non-cash amortization for our operating leases caused by the adoption of ASC 842, Leases.
Net cash used in investing activities
Investing activities consist primarily of capital expenditures related to investments in retail Showrooms, information technology and systems infrastructure, as well as supply chain investments. Investing activities also include strategic investments made by the Company.
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $10.2 million primarily due to investments in Showrooms, information technology and systems infrastructure, and supply chain expansion.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $7.0 million primarily due to investments in Showrooms, information technology and systems infrastructure, and supply chain expansion.
Historical capital expenditures are summarized as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)
2022
2021
Net cash used in investing activities
$10,151 $7,006 
Less: Landlord contributions
1,759 3,445 
Total capital expenditures, net of landlord contributions
$8,392 $3,561 
Total capital expenditures, net of landlord contributions increased by $4.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. This increase was related to our new facility in North Carolina, the opening of new Showrooms and information technology and systems infrastructure.

We anticipate our total company funded capital expenditures to be $60 million to $70 million in fiscal year 2022, primarily related to the expansion and openings of our Boston Heights, North Carolina and Dallas distribution centers, the opening of new Showrooms, and information technology and systems infrastructure.
Net cash used in financing activities
Financing activities consist primarily of borrowings related to tax distributions to noncontrolling interest holders of Arhaus, LLC.
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $1.0 thousand due to principal payments on finance leases.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in financing activities was $5.7 million which related to $4.6 million of tax distributions to the noncontrolling interest holders of Arhaus, LLC and $1.0 million for the issuance of a related party note.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
As of March 31, 2022, we have no material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Accounting policies and estimates are considered critical when they require management to make subjective and complex judgments, estimates and assumptions about matters that have a material impact on the presentation of our financial statements and accompanying notes. For a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, see Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2— Recently Issued Accounting Standards to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks, which include significant deterioration of the U.S. and foreign markets, changes in U.S. interest rates, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and the effects of economic uncertainty, which may affect the prices we pay our vendors in the foreign countries in which we do business. We do not engage in financial transactions for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We believe foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations do not contain significant market risk to us due to the nature of our relationships with our vendors outside of the United States. We purchase the majority of our inventory from vendors outside of the United States in transactions that are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars and, as such, any foreign currency impact related to these international purchase transactions was not significant to us for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. However, since we pay for the majority of our international purchases in U.S. dollars, a decline in the U.S. dollar relative to other foreign currencies would subject us to risks associated with increased purchasing costs from our vendors. We cannot predict with certainty the effect these increased costs may have on our financial statements or results of operations. We currently do not use derivative instruments to manage this risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We are primarily exposed to interest rate risk with respect to borrowing under our 2021 Credit Facility and as of March 31, 2022, we have not drawn upon the 2021 Credit Facility. Based on the interest rate in the 2021 Credit Facility and to the extent borrowings were outstanding, we do not believe a 100 basis point change in interest rates would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations for the periods presented. We currently do not use derivative instruments to manage this risk.

Impact of Inflation
Inflation generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor, material, transportation, and our general costs. We have historically been able to recover these cost increases through price increases. However, we cannot reasonably estimate our ability to successfully recover any impact of inflation through price increases in the future. We currently do not use derivative instruments to manage this risk.
Emerging Growth Company Status
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we are no longer an emerging growth company or affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2022. Based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2022, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below.
Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer identified three material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Specifically, we lacked a sufficient complement of professionals with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose accounting matters timely and accurately. Additionally, the lack of a sufficient number of professionals resulted in an inability to consistently establish appropriate authorities and responsibilities in pursuit of our financial reporting objectives, as demonstrated by, amongst other things, insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses.
We did not design and maintain accounting policies, procedures and controls, or maintain documentary evidence of existing control activities to achieve complete, accurate and timely financial accounting, reporting and disclosures, including adequate controls over the period-end financial reporting process, the preparation and review of account reconciliations and journal entries, including segregation of duties and assessing the reliability of reports and spreadsheets used in controls.
We did not design and maintain effective controls to address the identification of and accounting for certain non-routine or complex transactions, including the proper application of U.S. GAAP of such transactions. Specifically, we did not design and maintain controls to timely or appropriately account for our incentive unit plan.
These material weaknesses resulted in a restatement of our previously issued annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 principally related to selling, general and administrative expenses and other long-term liabilities, and misclassifications in the balance sheets and statements of comprehensive income. These material weaknesses also resulted in immaterial adjustments recorded as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 principally related to property, furniture and equipment, net; selling, general and administrative expenses; and misclassifications in the balance sheet and statement of cash flows. Additionally, each of the material weaknesses could
26

Table of Contents
result in misstatements to substantially all of our accounts or disclosures, that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Lastly, we did not design and maintain effective controls over information technology, or IT, general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our financial statements. Specifically, we did not design and maintain: (i) program change management controls for financial systems to ensure that information technology program and data changes affecting financial applications and underlying accounting records are identified, tested, authorized and implemented appropriately; (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and that adequately restrict user and privileged access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate Company personnel; (iii) computer operations controls to ensure that critical batch jobs are monitored and data backups are authorized and monitored; and (iv) testing and approval controls for program development to ensure that new software development is aligned with business and IT requirements.
These IT deficiencies did not result in material adjustments to our consolidated financial statements; however, the deficiencies, when aggregated, could impact maintaining effective segregation of duties, as well as the effectiveness of IT-dependent controls (such as automated controls that address the risk of material misstatement to one or more assertions, along with the IT controls and underlying data that support the effectiveness of system-generated data and reports) that could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined these IT deficiencies in the aggregate constitute a material weakness.
Remediation Activities
With the oversight of senior management and our Audit Committee, we have designed and begun to implement a remediation plan which includes:
Updating our policies and procedures to establish and maintain effective segregation of duties for our finance and accounting staff in relation to journal entries, reconciliations and other applicable processes.
Designing and implementing internal financial reporting procedures and controls to improve the completeness, accuracy and timely preparation of financial reporting and disclosures inclusive of establishing an ongoing program to provide sufficient training to our finance and accounting staff.
Enhancing the design and operation of user access control activities and procedures to ensure that access to IT applications and data is adequately restricted to appropriate personnel.
Hiring additional competent and qualified technical accounting and financial reporting personnel with appropriate knowledge and experience of U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting requirements, including non-routine and complex transactions, to design, execute and/or provide appropriate oversight of activities related to internal control over financial reporting, or ICFR.
Implementing additional program change management policies and procedures, control activities, and tools to ensure changes affecting key financial systems related to IT applications and underlying accounting records are identified, authorized, tested, and implemented appropriately.
Designing and implementing a formal systems development lifecycle methodology and related program development controls to ensure significant IT change events are appropriately tested and approved.
Enhancing the design and operation of control activities and procedures within the computer operations domain to ensure key batch jobs are monitored, processing failures are adequately resolved, and recovery capability is tested.
Identifying and evaluating key IT dependencies including key reports, automated application controls, interfaces, and end user computer facilities.
Although we have developed and begun to implement a plan to remediate the material weaknesses and believe, based on our evaluation to date, that the material weaknesses will be remediated in a timely fashion, we cannot project a specific timeline on when the plan will be fully implemented. The material weaknesses will not be remediated until the necessary internal controls have been designed, implemented, tested and determined to be operating effectively. In addition, we may need to take additional measures to address the material weaknesses or modify the planned remediation steps, and we cannot be certain that the measures we have taken, and expect to take, to improve our internal controls will be sufficient to address the issues identified, to ensure that our internal controls are effective or to ensure that the identified material weaknesses will not result in a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements. Moreover, we cannot provide assurance that we will not identify additional material weaknesses in our ICFR in the future. Until we remediate the material weaknesses, our ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare our consolidated financial statements within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC, could be adversely affected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above with respect to ongoing remediation efforts, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we have and we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims related to our employment practices, claims of intellectual property infringement and claims related to personal injuries and product liability for the products that we sell and in the Showrooms we operate. Any claims could result in litigation against us and could result in regulatory proceedings being brought against us by various federal and state agencies that regulate our business. Defending such litigation is costly and can impose significant burdens on management and employees. Further, we could receive unfavorable preliminary or interim rulings in the course of litigation, and there can be no assurance that favorable final outcomes will be obtained.
We are currently not a party to any legal proceedings, the outcome of which, if determined adversely to us, would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
None.
Item 5. Other Information
