Arhaus, Inc. (ARHS) · Nov 5, 2026 · Earnings
Miss — diluted EPS $0.05 vs ~$0.085 consensus; revenue $368.1M vs ~$370.3M
Arhaus earnings show strong order momentum and higher sales guidance, but Q3 EPS and adjusted EBITDA missed as transportation costs pressured margins.
Arhaus is a premium home-furnishings retailer still expanding its showroom-led, omnichannel model, with demand driven by new product, interior design services, and a growing physical footprint. The quarter reinforces that the customer engine is working, but the cost of converting that demand into profit is rising.
Demand was materially better than reported revenue suggests. Q3 net revenue rose 6.8% to $368.1 million, while comparable written sales jumped 13.9%; the gap reflects Arhaus’ order-to-delivery lag, not necessarily weak demand. Comparable delivered sales increased only 2.6%, but remained within the company’s prior range. 〔0〕

The quarter missed the earnings bar. Revenue was slightly below the published consensus of roughly $370.3 million, while diluted EPS of $0.05 fell short of approximately $0.085; adjusted EBITDA declined to $27.4 million from $31.2 million, and adjusted EBITDA margin compressed to 7.4% from 9.1%. The main issue is not demand but conversion: fuel and transportation costs, alongside expanded marketing investment, absorbed the benefit of higher sales. The published consensus figures are from pre-release market estimates.
Management raised the sales outlook but did not raise profit expectations. Full-year net revenue guidance moved to $1.465–$1.485 billion and comparable delivered sales to 2.5%–4.0%, while net income and adjusted EBITDA remained at $71–$80 million and $160–$171 million. 〔1〕 This is a mixed signal: demand is tracking above the prior plan, but incremental revenue is currently being reinvested or consumed by cost pressure rather than flowing through to earnings.
The growth platform is advancing, but execution risk is shifting toward infrastructure and logistics. Arhaus ended the quarter with 109 showrooms, up from 107 at year-end 2025, and completed a major Charlotte relocation plus an Atlanta renovation. 〔2〕 The company also has $318.0 million of cash and no stated long-term debt, giving it room to keep investing; however, its technology transformation and transportation system rollout must improve delivery efficiency before the stronger written-order pipeline fully reaches margins.
Bottom line: Arhaus is winning orders and raising its sales outlook, but Q3 shows that transportation and marketing costs are preventing that demand from translating into better near-term earnings. The business story is intact, though profitability execution is currently the constraint.
