Item 4.02 - Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
On February 29, 2024, the Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") of the Board of Directors of Arhaus, Inc. (the “Company”), after discussion with management, concluded that the Company's previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023 (the “Q3 Form 10-Q” and such period, the “Affected Period”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 2, 2023, should no longer be relied upon due to the errors described below and should be restated.
In preparation of the December 31, 2023 consolidated financial statements, the Company identified an error within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 related to certain leasehold and landlord improvements prior to showroom completion being incorrectly included in prepaid and other current assets rather than property, furniture and equipment, net. The error resulted in inaccurate cash flows ascribed to operating and investing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
As such, the Company will restate its financial statements for the Affected Period and revise the December 31, 2022 comparative balance sheet included therein in an amendment to the Q3 Form 10-Q (the “Q3 Form 10-Q/A”) to be filed as soon as practicable. Additionally the Company will make the corresponding revisions for impacted annual and applicable interim periods in the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K.
In connection with the restatement of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the Affected Period, the Company determined it is appropriate to correct for certain other previously identified immaterial errors.
The errors caused the below specific line items previously presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet to (decrease) or increase by the following amounts (in thousands):

The Company’s management has previously concluded and disclosed that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in the Company's internal control over financial reporting ("ICFR"). The Company has evaluated the impact of the errors described above on its ICFR and concluded the existing material weaknesses resulted in these errors.
The Company’s management and the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
