Exhibit 99.1
Williams-Sonoma, Inc. announces strong first quarter results
Q1 comparable brand revenue growth accelerates to 40.4%
Q1 GAAP operating margin of 15.7%; Q1 non-GAAP operating margin expansion of 950bps to 15.9%
Q1 GAAP diluted EPS of $2.90; Q1 Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.93
Raises full-year 2021 outlook
San Francisco, CA, May 26, 2021 – Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM), the world’s largest digital-first, design-led and sustainable home retailer, today announced operating results for the first fiscal quarter ended May 2, 2021 (“Q1 21”) versus the first fiscal quarter ended May 3, 2020 (“Q1 20”).
“We are proud to report another record quarter of accelerating revenue and profitability with over 40% comp growth and a 950bps expansion in our non-GAAP operating margin. These results were driven by strength across all of our brands. We are seeing strength in our core businesses and our new growth initiatives have outperformed. As re-openings accelerate across the country, a record number of customers continue to shop with us as they invest in their homes. We are honored to be our customers' destination for their entertaining and home furnishings needs as they welcome friends and family back,” said Laura Alber, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“As a result, we are raising our full year outlook from mid-to-high single digit revenue growth to low-double digit to mid-teen revenue growth and year-over-year operating margin expansion. We believe our business is uniquely positioned to gain market share given our growth strategies and our three key differentiators:
1.Our in‐house design;
2.Our digital-first channel strategy; and
3.Our values.
These differentiators are more relevant than ever with our customers and set us apart from our competition,” Alber continued.
Alber concluded, “As we look ahead, we are confident in our runway for growth and profitability. The goals we have set are driving incremental growth faster than anticipated, our brand differentiators continue to accelerate, and favorable macro trends should continue to benefit our business for the long-term. We are the only home furnishings retailer that’s able to serve customers at scale online and provide the experience and convenience of physical retail with exclusive sustainable products – giving us the unique advantage to gain share for many years to come.”
FIRST QUARTER 2021
•Comparable brand revenue growth accelerates to 40.4%, with all brands accelerating sequentially including West Elm at 50.9%, Pottery Barn at 41.3%, Williams Sonoma at 35.3% and Pottery Barn Kids and Teen at 27.6%
•GAAP gross margin of 43.0%; non-GAAP gross margin of 43.0%, expanding 850bps and driven by higher year-over-year merchandise margins and occupancy leverage of approximately 410bps; occupancy costs were approximately $176 million, relatively flat to last year
•GAAP SG&A rate of 27.3%; non-GAAP SG&A rate of 27.1%, leveraging approximately 100bps and reflecting the strength of our topline performance and ongoing financial discipline
•GAAP operating margin of 15.7%; non-GAAP operating margin of 15.9%, leveraging approximately 950bps
•GAAP diluted EPS of $2.90; non-GAAP diluted EPS of $2.93, or 296% higher than last year
•Maintaining strong liquidity position of $640 million in cash and over $238 million in operating cash flow, enabling the company to repay its $300 million term loan in full, let its 364-day $200 million line of credit facility expire, and repurchase approximately $315 million in shares

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 low double-digit to mid-teen net revenue growth and year-over-year non-GAAP operating margin expansion.
Long-Term Financial Guidance
For the long-term, we are planning for net revenue growth of mid-to-high single digits and non-GAAP operating margin expansion. Our 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 and maintaining at least 15% non-GAAP operating margins in the next five years.

SEC REGULATION G — NON-GAAP INFORMATION
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures. Exhibit 1 provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). We have not provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to the corresponding GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis due to the potential variability and limited visibility of excluded items; these excluded items may include expenses related to the impact of inventory write-offs, the acquisition of Outward, Inc., and asset impairment charges. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, can provide meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of current period performance on a comparable basis with prior periods. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. In addition, certain other items may be excluded from non-GAAP financial measures when the company believes this provides greater clarity to management and investors. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to the GAAP financial measures presented in this press release and our financial statements and other publicly filed reports. Non-GAAP measures as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

SEC Regulation G – Non-GAAP Information
These tables include non-GAAP gross profit, gross margin, selling, general and administrative expense, operating income, operating margin, income taxes, effective tax rate and diluted EPS. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information for investors regarding the performance of our business and facilitate a meaningful evaluation of our quarterly actual results on a comparable basis with prior periods. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
