Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. I would like to start with an overview of our Q1 performance and then share our progress to date on our long term strategy. Gary will then provide an update on our current business trends and discuss the new business launches we announced today. Karen will close our prepared comments with a review of our Q1 financial results and update you on our outlook for 2013. After that, we'll open the call for your questions. We are extremely pleased with our Q1 performance and financial results. Once again, we delivered industry leading sales growth with a net revenue increase of 38% on top of an 18% increase last year. This performance marks our 13th consecutive quarter of double digit net revenue growth during a time when we continue to contract our store base. As we previously announced, during the quarter we experienced strong customer response to our product assortment and benefited from our better inventory position. Contributing to our strong top line growth was an outstanding 41% comparable store sales increase, which was on top of a 26% comp increase in the year ago quarter. In the period, we drove better than expected profitability, while investing in our infrastructure and new businesses to support our growth. Our business remains strong and we continue to gain market share. Our growth been driven by the expansion of our assortment. However, as we have said before, less than 20% of our current assortment is displayed in our retail galleries today. And this number becomes even smaller when you consider the continued evolution of our assortment. Time and time again, products that are displayed at retail experience a 50% to 150% lift. The transformation of our real estate remains the key to unlocking the true value of our assortment. This is one of our highest priorities for the company and it's core to our long term growth strategy. We are still in the very early stages of this transformation. So let me update you on our progress. We now have 4 5 full line design galleries and the results from all of them continue to exceed our expectations. Los Angeles and Houston are now included in our reported comparable store sales figure. Both markets drove comp growth in excess of 50% in the quarter and have delivered over 38% growth since their first anniversary. Both of these galleries also continue to deliver annual sales per selling square foot in excess of $1500 Our full line design gallery in Scottsdale has delivered store demand growth in that market of approximately 95% since its opening in November of 2012 and is delivering annual sales per square foot of about $1,000 The early reads from our Boston full line design gallery are strong and ahead of our expectations as well, delivering store demand growth in that market of approximately 125% since we opened it in April of 2013. We also opened our Indianapolis gallery in April and store demand in that location has reached nearly 200 percent growth since opening. We are receiving overwhelming support and interest from the landlord community with offers to become an anchor tenant in several of the most prestigious shopping centers in North America. We just returned from a great ICSC conference in Las Vegas and our deal pipeline is robust, a further confirmation of this enthusiasm. These anchor tenant deals will provide opportunities for higher sales, increased earnings, lower capital investment and higher ROIC than previously expected in our initial target store economics. They also provide for increased square footage to accommodate the continued expansion of our core assortment, our Small Spaces collection, Baby and Child, Objects of Curiosity as well any of the future new businesses that we are considering. Based on the outperformance that we are seeing coupled with the improved we now see opportunities to have full line design galleries in even more than the 50 markets that we originally targeted. Currently, we are in negotiations for sites in over 30 markets in North America, including New York, Chicago, Miami, Denver, Nashville, New Orleans and San Diego among many others. We plan to open our next full line design galleries in Greenwich, Connecticut and Atlanta in 2014 and we expect increased opening activity beginning in 2015 and forward. Regarding our infrastructure, we continue to make investments to support our operations and position the company for long term growth. During the Q2, we will open our 3rd Furniture DC near Dallas, Texas. This facility will also house a customer care center. During this period, we'll also complete the expansion of our Ohio shelf stock facility. We continue to make progress with our in home delivery initiative and are on track to have in sourced pads in 7 of our top markets by the end of this year. We have an amazing team and continue to attract some of the best talent in the industry. As we announced today, Richard Harvey has joined our team as Chief Merchandising Officer of our new business RH Kitchen and Tableware. Richard is arguably the most experienced and talented leader in this industry and we are thrilled to welcome him to our team. We are very pleased with the strength of our business and remain confident in the strategic direction of our company. We have tremendous growth opportunities ahead and we have a terrific team to execute our vision. We believe we are disrupting the marketplace and gaining significant market share. We have a powerful business model that we believe will capitalize on these opportunities and drive operating margin expansion and increase earnings. We look forward to continuing to update you on our progress. With that, I would like to now turn this over to Gary. Gary? Thank you, Carlos, and good afternoon, everyone. I'm going to spend some time updating you on the performance of our business, including our new and developing concepts and speak to some of the new launches planned for this year and next. First, let me start by trying to frame the bigger picture. Our continued industry leading performance is a reflection of our demonstrated ability to innovate, curate and integrate new products, businesses and experiences across our multiple channels. Our growth has been driven by a combination of new products, new categories, new businesses and the reconceptualization of both our retail and direct platforms. We believe we are not only building a proprietary offering, but also a completely new ecosystem to experience our collections and inspire our customers. Both these factors are producing industry leading sales per square foot in our galleries and with continued innovation and refinement will also result in what we believe will be one of the most compelling and productive multichannel experiences in retail. What's important to note is that we are in the very beginning stages of our growth story. Our results to date have been restricted by the fact that our assortment has been trapped in legacy real estate that was designed for an entirely different company. The transformation of our real estate, as Carlos mentioned, will unlock the true value of what we have in our building and will have an exponential effect on both our top and bottom line growth and financial performance. While many of our initiatives such as bigger catalogs and larger stores may not be intuitive and seem to move in the opposite direction of the rest of the industry fascinated by digital trends, We drive ourselves to think as we say until it hurts, so we can see what others can't see, so we can do what others can't do. The results of our initial test stores in Los Angeles, Houston and Scottsdale have provided the learnings and the new anchor tenant deal structure that Carlos mentioned gives us the confidence that we can now further expand our footprint and dominance in the marketplace. This will lead to significantly higher sales and earnings than our previous expectations in each and every market. As you think about our more immediate opportunities, let me point you to the performance of our spring collection represented across our 6 source book titles and 1600 pages that just arrived in homes last month. We're extremely pleased with the early response to our efforts to expand the offering and increase our market share. Our expanded assortments of furniture, finishes and color as well as the response to our small spaces and baby and child collections are driving strong results. Additionally, the early response to our tableware and objects of curiosity has been above our initial plans and we're excited to watch the results as these collections roll out into our retail galleries in the second half of this year. We are extremely excited to announce that Richard Harvey has joined us as Chief Merchandising Officer for RH Kitchen and Tableware. As you know, Richard has had a distinguished career at Williams Sonoma, most recently as President of the $1,000,000,000 Williams Sonoma I've had the pleasure of working with Richard for more than 10 years while at Williams Sonoma, where we created the Grand Cuisine store concept. We are both thrilled to once again have an opportunity to reimagine and reinvent this very important part of the home. As mentioned, RH Kitchen and Tableware will be a meaningful part of our next generation design galleries and will be launched with a distinctive and unique catalog and online experience in late 2014. Also announced today is our plans to launch RH antiquities. Our plan is to develop an online platform of curated antiques that will fill customer demand that we currently see in our galleries. We see this as a highly fragmented and unedited $25,000,000,000 market. Our plan is to launch this business in late 2014 or early 2015. I would be remiss not to mention our fall launch of RH Contemporary Art. As discussed, we will launch an immersive online platform featuring close to 50 international artists and open our artists and opened our 1st contemporary art gallery in the Chelsea Meatpacking Arts District of New York City. Our inaugural exhibition of Autonomy will feature existing and newly commissioned artworks by Random International, the creators of the Rain Room, which is on exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, courtesy of RH Contemporary Art until the end of July. As you might know, the Rain Room has become one of the most admired pieces of modern art in recent history as evidenced by the 3 to 8 hour wait times to view it. We commissioned the 1st edition of the Rain Room in the world and are thrilled to exhibit the works of these extremely creative and innovative team at Random International at our inaugural exhibit this fall. In summary, we are in the very early stages of a retail renaissance and believe we can curate a world and a business that goes far beyond the 4 walls of the home. With that, let me turn the call over to Karen. Thanks, Gary, and good afternoon, everyone. I will first take you through some of the financial details of our Q1 performance and will then provide our outlook for the Q2 and revised expectations for the full fiscal year. We are extremely pleased with our Q1 performance. This is a record Q1 for the company. We delivered industry leading revenue and comp growth and reported 1st quarter operating profitability for the first time in the history of the company. Total revenue for the Q1 of 2013 increased 38% to 3 $1,000,000 Our comparable store sales increased 41% during the period with our full line design galleries outpacing the rest of the fleet. We also operated fewer stores overall with 70 galleries open at the end of the Q1 versus the 74 we had opened last year. Our direct sales increased 38 percent to $142,000,000 on top of the 20% increase for the same period last year. The strong top line growth across all of our channels was driven by the customers overwhelming response to assortment and product offering as we believe we are continuing to take market share and disrupt this highly fragmented home furnishings market. All of our product categories experienced significant growth during the period with our furniture business leading the way. Gross profit in the Q1 increased 35% and reached $101,900,000 Gross margin decreased to 33.8% from 34.5% last year due to changes in product mix, strategic pricing on new product introductions and increased shipping costs resulting from a higher percentage of furniture sales during the period. These increases were partially offset by leverage on the fixed portion of our store and distribution center occupancy costs. Turning to expenses, our total adjusted SG and A expenses were at $97,300,000 in the 1st quarter versus $75,900,000 in the prior year. The increase in SG and A dollars was primarily driven by increases in employment, store opening and corporate occupancy costs and other variable expenses based on our increased revenues. Our adjusted SG and A excludes variable non cash stock compensation expense related to the vesting of certain performance based shares and legal and other professional fees incurred in connection with our recent follow on offering. As a percentage of net revenues, adjusted SG and A expenses decreased by 2 50 basis points. This decrease was due to lower advertising expense as a percentage of sales and leverage on our fixed payroll and other corporate expenses. Adjusted net income for the Q1 increased to $2,300,000 up from a loss of $1,300,000 in the prior year. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.06 during the quarter based on 38,700,000 diluted shares outstanding. Adjusted net income was calculated based on a normalized 40% effective tax rate and excludes the impact of non deductible stock compensation. Turning to the balance sheet. Inventory levels at the end of the first quarter were $366,000,000 up 35 percent from last year. This increase is consistent with our strategy to increase inventory levels to improve our in stock positions, reduce back orders, improve service levels and drive higher sales. Our Q1 benefited from this strategy as our strong inventory position allows us to ship and deliver product earlier than anticipated. With respect to our credit line, we ended the quarter with $114,000,000 outstanding on our 4 $17,000,000 credit facility. Our capital expenditures were $9,700,000 in the Q1 and we continue to expect capital expenditures in the range of $95,000,000 to $100,000,000 for the full fiscal year. Over half of our 2013 spend will be invested in our real estate transformation with the remainder used to fund supply chain and other infrastructure investments to support our growth. Turning to guidance, let me start with the Q2. As Gary mentioned, we are extremely pleased with our Q2 trends, especially during the last 2 weeks once the spring stores books were fully in home. In the Q2, we expect to grow revenues between 28% 30% to $375,000,000 to $380,000,000 We expect product margins to be consistent with Q1 trends. However, our occupancy leverage will not be as significant due to the investments we're making in our distribution center network. Our adjusted net income for the Q2 of 2013 is expected to be in the range of 15,700,000 dollars to $16,500,000 and assumes an adjusted 40 percent tax rate. We are providing 2nd quarter adjusted EPS guidance in the range of $0.40 to $0.42 which assumes 39,600,000 diluted shares. This share reflects the addition of certain performance based shares as a result of our recent stock price performance. With respect to the full year, we are increasing our 2013 revenue growth target to a range of 23% to 27% from our prior expectation of 19% 22%. This will result in net revenues on the range of $1,470,000,000 to $1,510,000,000 Our updated revenue outlook for the year represents growth in the range of 26% to 29% on a 52 week comparable basis. We expect adjusted net income to grow between 48% and 54% to a range of $55,800,000 to $58,200,000 in fiscal 2013, assuming a normalized 40% tax rate. We are providing full year adjusted EPS guidance in the range of $1.41 to $1.47 which assumes 39,700,000 diluted shares outstanding. In closing, we are extremely pleased with our record Q1 performance. We delivered industry leading revenue and comp growth and reported Q1 operating profitability for the first time in the history of the company. Our business remains strong and we're optimistic about our opportunities for the remainder of the year. We have a clear vision and solid growth strategy, which we believe will consistently deliver long term revenue growth in the mid to high teens and earnings growth of 20%. With that, I would now like to open up the lines for any questions. Thank you. Your first question comes from the line of Lorraine Hutchinson from Bank of America. Please proceed. Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone. Hi, Lorraine. Karen, I believe there was a shift in timing of the catalog drop and the expectations for the Q2 were for revenue to be a little bit lower because of this. Can you just comment on what you're seeing quarter to date? Yes. I think let me just start with that Lorraine. You're absolutely right. We expected the business to somewhat impacted in especially in the Q2 because of the later drop of the books. And we still have that expectation relatively speaking. That being said, since the books dropped in Homes, the performance has exceeded our expectations and that is what triggered a pretty healthy guidance today. So you're absolutely right. We would expect that Q3 will benefit more significantly as a result of that shift and based on the current performance that is even more of today. Great. And then as far as new store openings go, are there any more design galleries planned for this year? And could there potentially be upside to the 2 that you have planned next year if some of these deals move more quickly than you expected? No. No. We no. As you know, this takes a lot of time of development and the process is lengthy. So in terms of brand new locations, we do not anticipate that. We will be expanding one pretty significant location towards the end of this year. It's an existing location that is going to give us a lot more space and we are very excited about that. We haven't announced that yet. Great. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Matthew Fazel from Goldman Sachs. Please proceed. Hello. Good afternoon. First question, your gross margin decline year on year was a bit smaller in the Q1 than it had been in the Q4. And obviously, your comp was bigger and perhaps leverage of fixed costs was a decisive factor there. But if you could comment in general on your promotional stance and perhaps how it's evolved since the end of last year? And just kind of tell us whether in fact better fixed cost leverage was responsible for the smaller decline? Yes. Hi, Matt. This is Karen. You're exactly right. As it relates to Q1, the higher top line growth did allow us to basically have better leverage on the fixed occupancy costs in both the retail stores and the DCs. And then with Q2, as we mentioned, that will decrease a bit when we have some of the investments coming online as we open our Dallas furniture facility and expand our Ohio shelf stock facility. So that's some of the timing and expectation versus Q1. As it relates to overall promotions, I think Q1 relative to the prior year is kind of where we expected to be. There is a shift of one event that we moved to coincide with the timing of the book. So there was one event that shifted from Q the end of Q1 to the beginning of Q2. Great. A second question if I could. I know there was a point in time last year when you reached out to more households with your catalog drops and you grew the base to some degree. How did you treat the spring catalog this year in terms of households? Is that number still growing? Are you capering that list yet? What are we seeing kind of year on year? Hi, Matt. This is Gary. We did and we communicated that we tested the depth of our file last fall. And we are working kind of quarter to quarter to optimize our mailings as we go forward. So and obviously with the fish biting as we're seeing in the Q2 right now, we're actually looking at our plans for the fall book as we look forward in determining how deep we go. In the direct business, as you see response rates go up your assortments, you want to take that opportunity and mail into that, especially if there's any market trends that are positive. And we believe everybody probably in the home is being affected by the good news and the rebound of the housing market. Great. Thanks, guys. Your next question comes from the line of Nealey Tumminga from Piper Jaffray. Please proceed. Great. Good afternoon and just congratulations on a fantastic performance this quarter and as you're kicking off Q2. Thank you, Matt. You bet. I've got a question for Carlos and one for Gary if I may. First for you Carlos, you did mention the ICSC conference and that there's clearly an appetite for the RH brand and it's increased. What does this mean in terms of where the store size is in the context of the ICSC conversations? And where maybe some of the availability of that space is? Could you comment on that? Yes. I think we'll take this together with Gary. I let me just start by saying we are thrilled with the response that we got during the convention. And the enthusiasm is across the board. We have a lot of new opportunities that we are talking to a lot of lenders in many different markets and this goes even beyond the States into Canada. The size of the locations and obviously, it's like we have said in the past, it's going to depend on each market, but we see big opportunities for a larger box. I don't know. Gary, do you want to jump in? Yes. I'd say there's an opportunity. If you could think about start with the fact that we've recently communicated that about 20% of our current assortment is available at retail. And we know when we put goods into the retail marketplace and they're displayed we get a meaningful lift on those goods. So as we tested the first few stores, think about Scottsdale and Houston and Los Angeles, we've had roughly 15,000 to 20,000 square feet of 1,000 square feet of selling and we've had somewhere between 25% to 30% of our assortment displayed in those stores. Also think about the fact that we are expanding the assortment since we opened those stores. So we've had the Tableware catalog launch, we've had the objects of curiosity catalog launch, we're expanding the Rugs business, the leather business. Now as we just announced RH Kitchen and as well as since then we've expanded our small spaces collection and baby child collection. So we believe we can merchandise a significantly larger footprint. But what we wanted to determine is how to take that step by step and how do you optimize the box if you will. What was significantly different about what's happening now and what we try to communicate and to kind of give it to you in broad strokes because until we sign a meaningfully enough number of these deals, we'll come back to you with Targa's storage and omics. But I think about it from the fact that there's meaningfully larger footprints that we will have than previously communicated. They will have lower rent per square foot. They will have higher landlord build out contributions per square foot, so less capital per square foot than we are planning from the company. And it will lead to meaningfully higher sales, meaningfully higher earnings for profitability per store. And so if you do stand back and think about every market, we will extract significantly more sales and earnings out of every market than we than our original expectation. And because of this dynamic, now we see that the universe of opportunities here to really build and develop this new full line design galleries goes beyond what we have targeted as 50 markets. We see a larger universe. It's really encouraging and helpful. Thank you for that. And just Gary, if you could just a little bit on your Richard Hardy announcement. I think that that's a great add. Well done there. Restoration Harbor Kitchen, RH Kitchen and Tableware. Could you help us contextualize how big or significant that business could be to the total over time? I mean is this a 5 percenter or is this something more than that? Thank you. I'd give away too much competitive secrets. And so I'm trying to curb my enthusiasm right now. I would just say we are we think it's going to be a meaningful business. It's going to have a meaningful footprint in the new next generation design galleries. It's going to have its own independent catalog and web experience. We think there's just a massive opportunity here. We don't play in this area at all today. So think about it from furniture, furnishings, all the components of the number one room that's remodeled in homes is the kitchen. So and that's where the significant spending is. And we believe we can be a dominant player there and have a real platform. Thank you. Best of luck. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Daniel Hofkin from William Blair and Company. Please proceed. Hi. Good afternoon. I had my congratulations. Thank you, Dan. Just I guess thinking about the particularly strong sales trends the last couple of months and what seems to be carrying through even on an underlying basis into the Q2. Where do you feel like the is it mostly or all traffic? Or is there some additional ticket benefit from higher pull through of furniture? I would just be interested in your how you would describe that? Yes. Dan, as you know, we do not disclose those types of that. I think that I'm sure you can read between the lines. The business has been so strong and so healthy. Most of those measured rents are up. We do not hold traffic counters, so that's not something that we can even refer to. But overall, you will see a combination of average order value increase and more transactions. Okay. Great. And as you're I guess within categories, can you discuss the margin trends not quantifying it, but just directionally putting aside the mix differences and some of the investment in supply chain what you're seeing within merchandise categories? Yes. We have I'm sorry. We have not disclosed margins by product categories. What we have said in the past is that the Furniture business does carry a lower margin structure, especially when you consider shipping costs that are significantly higher than the rest of the business and those trends are ongoing. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you, Dan. Thanks, Dan. Your next question comes from the line of Peter Benedict from Robert Baird. Please proceed. Hey, guys. Couple of questions. First, if we look at the increased sales guidance for the year and the associated net income increase, I mean, you kind of get a flow through margin in the mid teens. I think that's the way the math works. So can you just talk about I know you're investing a lot in investments, but how should we think about that as we look beyond kind of this initial investment phase? What do you think the flow through margin profile is of the business? Maybe I mean, steady state is probably way out, but what can you help us with on that? Yes. I guess just this is Karen. To start, because I want to make sure you fully understand the nature of the investments we're making. So the supply chain, because we've had this question ongoing, so just to level set, we did have an investment in Q4 of last year with the expansion of the Baltimore furniture facility. So we won't anniversary that until the back half and this next coming Q4 of 20 13. And then in this quarter, in the second quarter, we're going to be opening as Karl mentioned, the Dallas furniture facility and expanding our Ohio shelf stock. So that will anniversary the back half of next year. So those are 2 big investments on the supply chain side, but there's also just other operating investments when it comes to just building new businesses and building teams. I think Gary outlined a lot of the different things that have come online between tableware and even some of those things that we're doing now with RH Kitchen. Those investments will continue to have costs associated with them before we have the associated revenues along with a lot of the real estate transformation as we build the team to expand those stores. We pay rent sometimes before the stores open. So the flow through model right now in the short term is not necessarily reflective of what we expect long term. We haven't updated our store targets and economics, so we're not ready to land a very specific number, but it is north of where we are now. Yes. I'd just say if you just stand back and think about what all the development that's happening here, first start with what's happening in our interiors source book and the expansion of the furniture and lighting businesses and textiles businesses there. So that's one. But then just to think back and say we've developed a baby and child business and continue to the small spaces business contemporary art, objects of curiosity, tableware. We just announced built revenue catalog RH rugs, another new catalog RH Leather and now announcing RH Kitchen. The amount of product and new businesses that are being developed for this new platform are as extensive as probably anything in retail. And the fact that we can still do that and lever the business and grow earnings and invest in the infrastructure is I think quite a feat in its own. And you can imagine and none of these businesses by the way have a retail presence. So none of them are benefiting from the fact that they're in their retail marketplace. As we transform this real estate, cycle the investments into infrastructure and get into the right kind of real estate, the right kind of economic model, this will look like an entirely different business from an economic point of view. And what I would say, you asked the question, what should we expect? I think that the great thing about all this is that we are seeing this growth in earnings in spite of or absorbing all those investments. And we have not really in reality started to execute on our real estate transformation strategy. Once you start seeing that, the growth and the opportunity for leverage, when you combine the productivity that we're seeing and the deal economics that we are being offered and you put it all into one model, you can see a significant opportunity for operating margin expansion. I think I said during my remarks that we expect to start seeing a pretty significant increase in opening activity in 2015. So once you start taking those new openings into 2015 and going forward, you're going to see a tremendous opportunity for leveraging and the earnings growth should by far exceed the top line growth. Okay. That's very helpful guys. Thank you very much. Just one other question. Can you give us a sense of what you're seeing in terms of return rates? Trying to understand what the typical lag time might be between when a sale occurs and then you'll start to see the returns come in. And we've obviously seen a huge uptick in demand. So just trying to understand where what we should be expecting on that front? Thank you. Yes. I would just think about it from the fact that our return rates have been relatively consistent and we would expect them to track demand. As demand goes up, return rates will be as a percentage of sales. We're working hard to decrease return rates and improve quality and so on and so forth. But I wouldn't think of any anomalies necessarily. Okay, great. Thanks very much. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Matt Niemeyer from Wells Fargo Securities. Please proceed. Thanks. Good afternoon, everyone. Hi, Matt. Hi, Matt. Hi, Matt. So my first question is if we look at the new full year guidance, I'd be curious which new product initiatives are having the biggest impact between baby, small spaces, tableware objects. Is it possible to sort of rank order the impact of where you're seeing incremental growth? Yes. It's probably nothing we'd want our competition to know Matt. So but we're in context of our plans, we're very pleased with each one of them. Okay. And then, just kind of a follow-up to Peter's question. If we look at the new product lines that you've announced today like leather and rug and kitchen, how much incremental leverage do they get against the infrastructure versus prior launches like Baby? Do each require sort of a full organizational build out? Or do the is the flow through on those launches probably higher? Better flow through on things like rugs and leather. And kitchen we'll have to build out in the organization. Okay. And then lastly, if we given the success of your real estate discussions, it sounds like there's a lot of leases in the pipeline. How much capacity do you have as an organization in terms of store opening teams and managers? How many stores can you open in a given year? How many full line stores? And does there need to be a lot of build out to do say north of 5? So the way we look at this is the other way around. We think about the opportunity and how fast we can go and then how do we build the organizational strength to be able to accomplish that. So and frankly, we are very excited about the talent that we are talking to and we are very confident that we're going to be able to put the resources in place so then we can go really fast. You should not be surprised to see that we could open anywhere north of 10 to 15 units in any particular year. Okay, great. That's helpful. Congratulations. Thank you. Thanks, Matt. Your next question comes from the line of Janet Kloppenburg from JJK Research. Please proceed. Hi, everybody. Congratulations on a nice quarter. Hi, thank you, Joe. Hi. Lots of good news. Carlos, did I just hear that you said that you could open north of 15 over time in a year? Is that what I just said? I said that you shouldn't be surprised to see that we could open anywhere between 10 or 15 units. And it could even be more frankly because the way we work. So that would be after 2015? Well, because of the timeline for any one of these projects, the timeline is pretty lengthy. And so projects that we are discussing today, you shouldn't expect that we'll be able to open before 18 to 24 months from now. So you're thinking about 2015 will be the 1st year where you would see that increased level of activity. Okay. Great. Well, that's very exciting. And Gary, just a couple of questions on RH Kitchen and Table Ware. I mean, would you ever consider having that as a standalone format? Or is that something that's being considered to be umbrellaed into in the restoration hardware stores. Is that Yes. I mean, I think many of them could be considered standalone, Janet, just like baby child could be inside or outside. Right. This could be inside or outside. There is tremendous economic advantages of figuring out how to integrate these businesses into one box. And going outside with a kind of standalone, I think would put us at a disadvantage of paying much higher mall rents etcetera. So one of the things we're seeing here is the advantage of integrating these businesses into an entirely unique shopping experience that the world's never seen. But think about it as a meaningful footprint inside that shopping experience in a completely innovative way that no one's experienced before. And would it be totally vertically integrated Gary? In other words, even in some of the electronics and cookware areas? Is that going to be your own brand? Or are you considering using some of the national brands as well? I think we're totally flexible. We just want to have the best products, curate the best collection, presented in the most inspiring way. And I think that what's great here is the model we're building from a real estate and a direct perspective is we believe long term is going to establish competitive advantage from just the cost structure of the platform that we'll be able to compete with anybody almost on any product. Okay. And on the antiquities, are you working with a partner on that? Is the sourcing structure of that business different than what you know in the home business? And what is the margin profile? Obviously, you don't have to give me numbers, but some sort of qualitative look at the margin profile of that business? Yes. A couple of things. I think about we're probably one of the biggest antique buyers in the world today, right? So if you think about a lot of our products, they're inspired by antiques. We that's what we do. We travel the world and we go to antique fairs. We go to flea markets all over the world. And we work with great artists and partners that have deep experience in the antique market. So we have multiple partnerships lined up and teed up that we've been communicating with and working on for a while. We've been thinking about this one for 2, 3 years. And when you stand back, you think about fragmented market. I mean, it's a massively fragmented market. There's really only been what I call a couple of aggregation plays, but they're not editing plays. So I think First Dibs and Michael Bruno have done a great job of being the 1st aggregator of a market, right? But you still get to through all the crap behind the one good table or the good lamp. And so people don't have that ability or that patience to go through there unless you're really a trained eye. What we're going to do is very different. We're going to edit. We're not going to aggregate. We're going to edit and curate. And so the ability for our consumers, right, our customers to have a place because nobody wants everything, Brandy. People love to have antiques and love to have one of a kind things in their home. The ability to curate an amazing collection that's always new, changing, unique. We know there's built up customer demand there today. We know our customers are spending a lot of money on this. I mean this is a $25,000,000,000 completely fragmented mom and pop market. With good margins. Well, with I mean how do you know what the margins are, right? How do you compare? So it's all one of a kind. Well, that's what I meant. That's what I wanted you to point out. Yes. Charlie and I joke around when we think about the antiques market and the contemporary art market, we think it might be the first time we've ever had appreciating inventory in our lives. Right. Okay. Good. No, I just wanted to make sure I was right that there was some premium margin opportunity there. We believe there is, yes. Okay. And lastly, Karen, should we be expecting the gross profit margin to be compressed for the rest of the year given the strength of the furniture business? Or will we start do you think we'll start to anniversary some of that? How should we be thinking about it? Well, in the like I said in the back half, especially in Q4, we'll anniversary the investments in the Baltimore facility. Right. But in addition, we haven't had, as Gary mentioned, tableware and objects and some of those businesses that are a bit more of an accretive versus furniture haven't been displayed at retail yet. So those will roll out and have a physical presence in the stores. So we'll see some of that benefit in the back half as well. And is there a benefit to the margin from the infrastructure spending on distribution and delivery Carlos as those come online? No, no. In reality because of the investments that we are making and they are considerable. Also you should know, Janet, we are we have been investing in inventory too. And the additional inventory obviously requires to be housed and that second quarter. And I think that it alleviates as we start cycling through some of those investments as we go towards the back of the year. But you shouldn't expect to see the kind of leverage that we experienced in occupancy even this quarter actually in the Q1. So you should expect that this is going to be a soft landing and it's going to take us a few quarters to really cycle through those investments and therefore seeing start seeing some opportunity for leverage in occupancy. Okay, great. Thanks so much. Yes. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we have no more questions in the queue. I would now like to turn the conference back over to Mr. Carlos Alvarini. Please proceed. Well, thank you very much. I just want to close by saying that we have never been more confident in the strategic direction that we have chosen for the company. We're super excited here. We have a disruptive and powerful business model that we believe will drive significant market share gains and support our financial goals for many years to come. And last but not least, we have an amazing team that is ready to execute. So we look forward to continue to update you on our progress. Thank you very much for participating today. Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes today's conference. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect. Have a great day.
