Item 7.01         Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On April 14, 2021, Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. (“Ethan Allen” or the “Company”) issued a press release providing business updates as well as announcing the release date for its fiscal 2021 third quarter results. A copy of the press release issued by the Company is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein. The information furnished pursuant to this Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such act being the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Exhibit 99.1 includes non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the period presented. This non-GAAP measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, the measure prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Ethan Allen believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Ethan Allen’s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

 

Ethan Allen believes that the presentation of non-GAAP diluted earnings per share when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP diluted earnings per share measure, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and its historical and projected results of operations. For its internal budgeting process, Ethan Allen’s management uses financial statements that do not include, when applicable, significant asset impairments and restructurings, retail acquisition costs, significant litigation settlements and other contingencies, and the income tax effects of the foregoing. The Company’s management also uses the foregoing non-GAAP measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the financial results of Ethan Allen. From time to time in the future, there may be other items that Ethan Allen may exclude for purposes of its internal budgeting process and in reviewing its financial results.
