Exhibit 99.1
Williams-Sonoma, Inc. announces record second quarter results
Q2 revenues grow 30.7% with comparable brand revenue growth of 29.8%, 2YR comp of 40.3%
Q2 GAAP operating margin of 16.6%; Q2 Non-GAAP operating margin expansion of 360bps to 16.7%
Q2 GAAP diluted EPS of $3.21; Q2 Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $3.24, increasing 80%
Quarterly dividend increase of 20%; new stock repurchase authorization of $1.25 billion
Raises full-year 2021 and long-term outlook
San Francisco, CA, August 25, 2021 – Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM), the world’s largest digital-first, design-led and sustainable home retailer, today announced operating results for the second fiscal quarter ended August 1, 2021 (“Q2 21”) versus the second fiscal quarter ended August 2, 2020 (“Q2 20”).
"We are proud to report another quarter of outperformance with a 30% comp, strong growth across all brands and channels, and 360 basis points of operating margin expansion. These second quarter results demonstrate the success of our growth strategies and the earnings power of our company. We have an advantage in the industry due to our exclusive in-house design capability, our channel strategy which is digital-first but not digital only, and our values - with sustainability and equity underlying all that we do." said Laura Alber, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"The momentum we are seeing in our business and our winning positioning set us up to continue to take share in a fractured market. We do not see any evidence that growth trends are waning, and in fact, we see favorability in the macro environment as more people prioritize their homes and home décor. We believe we are at the intersection of a transformative change that will accelerate the growth of our industry, and our market share within the industry. In addition, our growth strategies are gaining traction faster than we predicted, and our key differentiators are further distancing us from our competition." Alber continued.
Alber concluded, "We see a clear path to beating our previous revenue and profitability targets and we are raising our full year revenue outlook again, with revenue growth now expected to be in the high teens to low twenties and operating margins now expected to be in the range of 16% to 17%. Given our increased optimism, we now expect to achieve our long-term goal of $10 billion in revenues in 2024, one year faster than previously expected, and with higher profitability, which will now be at or above our increased FY21 operating margin."
SECOND QUARTER 2021
•Revenues grow 30.7%, with strong growth across all brands and channels, including ecommerce holding at 65% of total company revenues
•Comparable brand revenue growth of 29.8%, including West Elm at 51.1%, Pottery Barn at 29.6%, Pottery Barn Kids and Teen at 18.0%, and Williams Sonoma at 6.4% on top of a 29.4% last year
•Ecommerce and retail comparable brand revenue growth on a two-year basis were 58.0% and 56.5%, respectively
•GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin of 44.1%, expanding 710bps and driven by higher year-over-year merchandise margins as well as occupancy leverage of approximately 210bps; occupancy costs were $176 million
•GAAP operating margin of 16.6%; non-GAAP operating margin of 16.7%, leveraging approximately 360bps
•GAAP diluted EPS of $3.21; non-GAAP diluted EPS of $3.24, increasing 80% over last year
•Maintaining strong liquidity position of $655 million in cash and over $475 million in operating cash flow, enabling the company to repurchase an additional $135 million in shares in the second quarter and over $450 million year-to-date. We also announced in a separate release today, an additional 20% quarterly dividend increase to $0.71, and a new stock repurchase authorization raising our existing authorization from the approximate $500 million remaining to $1.25 billion.

OUTLOOK
Fiscal Year 2021
Given the strength of our business year-to-date and the macro trends that we believe will continue to benefit our business, we are raising our fiscal year 2021 outlook to high-teens to low-twenties net revenue growth and non-GAAP operating margin between 16% to 17%.
Long-Term
For the long-term, we are planning for net revenue growth of mid-to-high single digits with an accelerated path to $10 billion in net revenues now over the next four years. Our continued strong results, combined with our three key differentiators of in-house design, digital-first channel strategy and values, and the macro trends that should benefit our business over the long-term, give us confidence in these future growth projections and an accelerated path to $10 billion in net revenues by 2024 while maintaining at least fiscal year end 2021 non-GAAP operating margins. This reflects reaching our long-term revenue outlook one year faster, and with higher profitability.
