NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

 

(1)

Organization and Nature of Business

 

Ethan Allen Interiors Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, Ethan Allen Global, Inc., and Ethan Allen Global, Inc.’s subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Ethan Allen” or the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation and leading interior design company, manufacturer and retailer in the home furnishings marketplace. We are a global luxury home fashion brand that is vertically integrated from product design through home delivery, which offers our customers stylish product offerings, artisanal quality, and personalized service. We are known for the quality and craftsmanship of our products as well as for the exceptional personal service from design to delivery, and for our commitment to social responsibility and sustainable operations. Our network of strong entrepreneurial leaders and more than 500 interior designers provide complimentary interior design service to our clients and sell a full range of home furnishings through a retail network of design centers located throughout the U.S. and abroad, as well as online at www.ethanallen.com.

 

Ethan Allen design centers represent a mix of locations operated by independent licensees and Company-operated locations. At September 30, 2026, there were 142 Company-operated retail design centers with 137 located in the U.S. and 5 in Canada. We also have 42 independently owned and operated Ethan Allen design centers located in the U.S., Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

 

We manufacture approximately 75% of our furniture in our North American manufacturing plants and have been recognized for product quality and craftsmanship since we were founded in 1932. At September 30, 2026 we own and operate 11 manufacturing facilities, including four manufacturing plants, one sawmill, one rough mill and one kiln dry lumberyard in the U.S., three manufacturing plants in Mexico and one manufacturing plant in Honduras. We also partner with various suppliers located in Europe, Asia and other countries to import products that support our business.

Basis of Presentation

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Our consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of an entity in which we are a majority shareholder with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s performance. Noncontrolling interest amounts in the entity are immaterial and included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income within Interest and other income, net. All intercompany activity and balances, including any related profit on intercompany sales, have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.

 

The interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on a basis consistent with those reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 (the “2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) but do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We derived the June 30, 2026 consolidated balance sheet from our audited financial statements included in our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for fair presentation, have been included in the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. Areas in which significant estimates have been made include, but are not limited to, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analyses, recoverability and useful lives for property, plant and equipment, inventory obsolescence, tax valuation allowances, the evaluation of uncertain tax positions and business insurance reserves.

 

We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company evaluates all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for consideration of their applicability to our consolidated financial statements.

 

New Accounting Standards or Updates Adopted in Fiscal 2027

 

Income Taxes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. We adopted ASU 2023-09 for our annual consolidated financial statements starting in fiscal 2026 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2027. We have applied the required disclosures prospectively in our consolidated financial statements, which modified our income tax disclosures; however, it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 13, Income Taxes, in the accompanying notes to the consolidated statements for further detail.

 

Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Adopted

 

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires disaggregation of certain income statement expense captions into specified categories to be disclosed within the notes to the financial statements but does not change the expense captions on the income statement. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively, although retrospective application is permitted, and are effective for our annual financial statements starting in fiscal 2028 and interim periods starting in fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this accounting standard will have on our disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and requires entities to start capitalizing eligible software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The amendments in this ASU can be applied using a prospective, modified, or retrospective transition approach, and are effective for our interim and annual periods starting in fiscal 2029. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of an annual period. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new requirements on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective as of September 30, 2026 have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

 

Our reported revenue (net sales) consists substantially of product sales. We report product sales net of discounts and recognize them at the point in time when control transfers to the customer. For sales to our customers in our wholesale segment, control typically transfers when the product is shipped. The majority of our shipping agreements are freight-on-board shipping point and risk of loss transfers to our wholesale customer once the product is out of our control. Accordingly, revenue is recognized for product shipments on third-party carriers at the point in time that our product is loaded onto the third-party container or truck. For sales in our retail segment, control generally transfers upon delivery to the customer. We recognize the promised amount of consideration without adjusting for the effects of a significant financing component if the contract has a duration of one year or less. As our contracts typically are less than one year in length and do not have significant financing components, we have not adjusted consideration.

 

Shipping and Handling. Our practice has been to sell our products at the same delivered cost to all retailers and customers nationwide, regardless of shipping point. Costs incurred by the Company to deliver finished goods are expensed and recorded in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. We recognize shipping and handling expense as fulfillment activities (rather than as a promised good or service) when the activities are performed even if those activities are performed after the control of the good has been transferred. Accordingly, we record the expenses for shipping and handling activities at the same time we recognize net sales.

 

Sales Taxes. We exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as sales taxes). Sales tax collected is not recognized as revenue but is included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets as it is ultimately remitted to governmental authorities.

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Returns and Allowances. Estimated refunds for returns and allowances are based on our historical return patterns. We record these estimated sales refunds on a gross basis rather than on a net basis and have recorded an asset for product we expect to receive back from customers in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and a corresponding refund liability in Other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, these amounts were immaterial.

 

Accounts receivable arise from the sale of products on trade credit terms and are presented net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is based on a review of specifically identified accounts in addition to an overall aging analysis. On a monthly basis, we review all accounts as to their past due balances, as well as collectability of the outstanding trade accounts receivable for possible write-off. It is our policy to write off accounts receivable against the allowance account when we deem the receivable to be uncollectible. Additionally, we ship products only when our ability to collect payment from clients is deemed probable. At September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, the allowance for credit losses was immaterial.

 

Commissions. We capitalize commission fees paid to our employees as contract assets within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. These prepaid commissions are subsequently recognized as a selling expense upon delivery (when we have transferred control of our product to our customer). We had prepaid commissions of $11.5 million at September 30, 2026, $9.6 million at June 30, 2026, and $11.5 million at June 30, 2025. We expect to recognize the $11.5 million of prepaid commissions at September 30, 2026 as a selling expense within the next 12 months as the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Customer Deposits. We collect deposits from customers on a portion of the total purchase price at the time a written order is placed, but before we have transferred control of our product to our customers, resulting in contract liabilities. These customer deposits are reported as a current liability in Customer deposits on our consolidated balance sheets. We reduce the contract liability when we recognize revenue. We had customer deposits of $74.3 million at September 30, 2026, $62.7 million at June 30, 2026, and $75.1 million at June 30, 2025. We recognized $47.6 million and $56.3 million of revenue related to our contract liabilities during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We expect that substantially all of the customer deposits at September 30, 2026 will be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the use of various valuation methodologies, including market, income and cost approaches is permissible. We consider the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

 

Fair Value Hierarchy. The accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value based on the reliability of inputs. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

 

We have categorized our cash equivalents and investments within the fair value hierarchy as follows: 

 

Level 1 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These Level 1 assets include our corporate money market funds that are classified as cash equivalents. We have categorized our cash equivalents as Level 1 assets as there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. We have categorized our investments as Level 2 assets. 

 

Level 3 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We held no Level 3 assets or liabilities at September 30, 2026 or June 30, 2026.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis. The following tables show, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026. We did not have any transfers between levels of fair value measurements during the periods presented.

Our corporate money market funds are readily convertible into cash and the net asset value of each fund on the last day of the quarter is used to determine its fair value.

 

There were no investments that have been in a continuous loss position for more than one year, and there have been no other-than-temporary impairments recognized.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis. We did not record any other-than-temporary impairments on assets required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during fiscal 2027 or 2026.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value for Disclosure Purposes Only. We had no outstanding bank borrowings at September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026. We have historically categorized our outstanding bank borrowings as a Level 2 liability.

Leases

 

We recognize leases on our consolidated balance sheets as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability. We have operating leases for many of our design centers that expire at various dates through fiscal 2040. We also lease certain tangible assets, including computer equipment and vehicles, with initial lease terms ranging from two to five years. We determine if a contract contains a lease at inception based on our right to control the use of an identified asset and our right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of that identified asset. For purposes of measuring our ROU asset and lease liability, we determine our incremental borrowing rate by computing the rate of interest that we would have to pay to (i) borrow on a collateralized basis (ii) over a similar term (iii) at an amount equal to the total lease payments and (iv) in a similar economic environment.

Variable lease payments are generally expensed as incurred, where applicable, and include certain non-lease components, such as maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and other services provided by the lessor, and other charges included in the lease. In addition, certain of our equipment lease agreements include variable lease payments, which are based on the usage of the underlying asset. The variable portion of payments are not included in the initial measurement of the asset or lease liability due to uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded as expense in the period incurred.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Our goodwill and intangible assets are comprised of goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, and our Ethan Allen trade name and related trademarks. Both goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized as they are estimated to have an indefinite life. At September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, we had $25.4 million of goodwill and $19.7 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets, all of which is assigned to our wholesale reporting unit. Our wholesale reporting unit is principally involved in the development of the Ethan Allen brand and encompasses all aspects of design, manufacturing, sourcing, marketing, sale and distribution of the Company’s broad range of home furnishings and accents.

 

We test our wholesale goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Consistent with the timing of prior years, we performed our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 utilizing a qualitative analysis and concluded it was more likely than not the fair value of our wholesale reporting unit was greater than its respective carrying value and no impairment charge was required. We also performed our annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 utilizing a qualitative analysis and concluded it was more likely than not the fair value of our trade name was greater than its carrying value and no impairment charge was required. In performing the qualitative assessments, we considered factors such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions in which we operate including the competitive environment, significant adverse changes in client demand, a product recall or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. We also considered our stock price both in absolute terms and in relation to peer companies.

Proxy contest fees totaling $1.26 million include expenses incurred to retain Georgeson as our proxy solicitor, fees of outside legal and public relations advisors to advise the Company in connection with the contested solicitation of proxies, increased mailing costs, such as the costs of additional mailings of solicitation materials to stockholders, including printing costs, mailing costs and the reimbursement of reasonable expenses of banks, brokerage firms and other agents incurred in forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners, as described above, and the costs of retaining independent inspectors of election. The Company paid $0.33 million in proxy contest fees during the first quarter of fiscal 2027, resulting in an accrual of $0.93 million reported within Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2026.

Our retail design center located in Woodbury, Minnesota sustained damage from a flood during fiscal 2026. Insurance proceeds of $1.65 million were received by the Company during the first quarter of fiscal 2027, which helped to offset $0.91 million in flood-related charges, for a net pre-tax gain of $0.74 million. The insurance proceeds received of $1.65 million were classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows based on the nature of the underlying loss, thus $0.95 million received for the reimbursement of cleanup costs was disclosed within operating activities while the remaining $0.7 million received for the reconstruction of the damaged building was reported within investing activities. The Company is currently working to reopen the damaged design center while operating in a nearby temporary location.

 

 

(3)

We recorded a restructuring charge of $0.6 million during the fiscal 2026 first quarter related to lease exit costs within the retail segment as a result of an early termination of a lease. These lease exit costs included a $0.3 million repayment of a previously received tenant allowance and a non-cash charge of $0.3 million to impair the design center’s fixed assets and ROU assets, net of lease liabilities.

 

Restructuring payments made by the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2026 were $0.8 million, which were for the 2026 proxy contest, Woodbury, Minnesota design center cleanup costs, severance and other costs.

Credit Agreement

 

On January 26, 2022, the Company and most of its domestic subsidiaries (the “Loan Parties”) entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and syndication agent and Capital One, National Association, as documentation agent. The Credit Agreement amends and restates the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2018, as amended. The Credit Agreement provides for a $125 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), subject to borrowing base availability, with a maturity date of January 26, 2027. The Company is currently in the process of amending and extending its Credit Agreement, with plans to renew it prior to maturity date. The Credit Agreement also provides the Company with an option to increase the size of the facility up to an additional amount of $60 million. We incurred financing costs of $0.5 million during fiscal 2022, which are being amortized as interest expense within Interest and other financing costs in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the remaining life of the Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.

 

Availability. The availability of credit at any given time under the Facility will be constrained by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, including the amount of collateral available, a borrowing base formula based upon numerous factors including the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable, and other restrictions contained in the Facility. All obligations under the Facility are secured by assets of the Loan Parties including inventory, receivables and certain types of intellectual property. Total borrowing base availability under the Facility was $121.5 million at September 30, 2026 and $121.2 million at June 30, 2026.

 

Borrowings. At the Company’s option, borrowings under the Facility bear interest, based on the average quarterly availability, at an annual rate of either (a) Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate “SOFR” Rate (defined as the Term SOFR Rate for such interest period plus 0.10%) plus 1.25% to 2.0%, or (b) Alternate Base Rate (defined as the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (NYRFB) rate plus 0.5%, or (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.0%) plus 0.25% to 1.0%. We had no outstanding borrowings under the Facility at September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026, or at any time during fiscal 2027 and 2026. Since we had no outstanding borrowings during fiscal 2027 and 2026, there was no related interest expense during these periods.

 

13

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Covenants and Other Ratios. The Facility contains various restrictive and affirmative covenants, including required financial reporting, limitations on the ability to grant liens, make loans or other investments, incur additional debt, issue additional equity, merge or consolidate with or into another person, sell assets, pay dividends or make other distributions or enter into transactions with affiliates, along with other restrictions and limitations similar to those frequently found in credit agreements of this type and size. Loans under the Facility may become immediately due and payable upon certain events of default (including failure to comply with covenants, change of control or cross-defaults) as set forth in the Facility.

 

The Facility does not contain any significant financial ratio covenants or coverage ratio covenants other than a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant based on the ratio of (a) EBITDA, plus cash Rentals, minus Unfinanced Capital Expenditures to (b) Fixed Charges, as such terms are defined in the Facility. The fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, set at 1.0 to 1.0 and measured on a trailing period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, only applies in certain limited circumstances, including when the unused availability under the Facility drops below $14.0 million. At no point during fiscal 2027 or 2026, did the unused availability under the Facility fall below $14.0 million, thus the Fixed-Charge Coverage Ratio (FCCR) Covenant did not apply. At September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all the covenants under the Facility.

 

Letters of Credit. At September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, there were $3.5 million and $3.8 million, respectively, of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.

 

 

(13)

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense is based on taxable income determined in accordance with current enacted laws and tax rates. The Company's process for determining the provision for income taxes involves using an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on forecasted annual income and statutory tax rates across the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Deferred income taxes are recorded for the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using currently enacted tax rates.

 

Income tax expense totaled $0.7 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate was 30.0% and 25.4%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025. The year-over-year change in the effective tax rate was driven from the valuation allowance on foreign deferred tax assets and interest on unrecognized tax benefits that had a disproportionate impact on the quarterly tax rate. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 our effective tax rate varies from the 21% federal statutory rate due to state income taxes, the valuation allowance on foreign deferred tax assets and interest on unrecognized tax benefits. The prior year first quarter effective tax rate varies from the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes.

 

We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. At September 30, 2026, we had $3.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits compared with $3.8 million at June 30, 2026. It is reasonably possible that various matters relating to $1.2 million of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2026 will be resolved within the next 12 months as exams are completed or statutes expire. If recognized, $1.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits would reduce our income tax expense in the period realized.

At September 30, 2026 and 2025, total share-based awards of 66,035 and 60,137, respectively, were excluded from the diluted EPS calculations because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

 

At September 30, 2026 and 2025, the number of performance units excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS were 262,133 and 215,890, respectively. Contingently issuable shares with performance conditions are evaluated for inclusion in diluted EPS if, at the end of the current period, conditions would be satisfied as if it were the end of the contingency period.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

 

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on our investments. Foreign currency translation adjustments are the result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our operations in Canada, Honduras and Mexico. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the current period-end exchange rate and income and expense amounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period in which the transaction occurred. All unrealized gains and losses on investments are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss within our consolidated balance sheets. The tax effect of unrealized gains included in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million at September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

 

We recognized total share-based compensation expense of $0.3 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. These amounts have been included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income within SG&A expenses. At September 30, 2026, $2.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock-based awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years. There was no share-based compensation capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

 

At September 30, 2026, there were 1,026,199 shares of common stock available for future issuance pursuant to The Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which provides for the grant of stock-based awards including stock options, restricted stock and stock units. All stock-based awards are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors after consideration of recommendations proposed by the Chief Executive Officer. Company policy requires an additional one-year holding period beyond the service vest date for executive officers and members of the Board of Directors. 

 

Stock Option Activity

 

Employee Stock Option Grants. There were no stock option awards granted to employees during the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

 

Non-Employee Stock Option Grants. The Plan also provides for the grant of stock-based awards to non-employee directors of the Company. There were no stock option awards granted to non-employee directors during the three months ended September 30, 2026. In the prior year period, we granted 16,905 stock options at an exercise price of $29.58. These stock options vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant so long as the director continues to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors. All options granted to directors have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and remain exercisable for a period of up to ten years, subject to continuous service on our Board of Directors. At September 30, 2026, $0.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested non-employee stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.5 years.

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

There were 2,879 stock options that expired during the first three months of fiscal 2027, leaving a total of 77,901 stock options outstanding at September 30, 2026, with a weighted average exercise price of $26.70 and a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.38. There were no pre-vesting stock option forfeitures during the first quarter of fiscal 2027.

 

Restricted Stock Unit Activity

 

During the first three months of fiscal 2027, we granted 35,710 non-performance based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), with a weighted average grant date fair value of $19.14. Of the total granted, 30,486 RSUs were awarded to employees with the remaining 5,224 to non-employee directors of the Company. The RSUs granted to employees and non-employee directors on August 5, 2026 entitle the holder to receive the underlying shares of common stock as the unit vests over the relevant vesting period. The RSUs do not entitle the holder to receive dividends declared on the underlying shares while the RSUs remain unvested and vest in three equal annual installments on the anniversary of the date of grant. In the prior year period, we granted 20,789 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $23.69 which vest in three equal annual installments on the anniversary date of the grant.

 

A total of 19,501 RSUs vested during the first three months of fiscal 2027, resulting in 56,399 RSUs unvested and outstanding at September 30, 2026, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $20.85. At September 30, 2026, $1.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.3 years.

 

Performance Stock Unit Activity

 

Payout of performance stock units (“PSUs”) depends on our financial performance (80%) and a market-based condition based on the total return our shareholders receive on their investment in our stock relative to returns earned through investments in other peer public companies (20%). The performance share opportunity ranges from 62% of the employee's target award if minimum performance requirements are met to a maximum of 138% of the target award based on the attainment of certain financial and shareholder-return goals over a specific performance period, which is generally three fiscal years.

 

During the first three months of fiscal 2027, we granted 119,946 PSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $18.09 compared with 88,526 PSUs at a weighted average grant date fair value of $22.77 in the prior year. The number of awards that will vest, as well as unearned and canceled awards, depend on the achievement of certain financial and shareholder-return goals over the three-year performance periods, and will be settled in shares if service conditions are met, requiring employees to remain employed with us through the end of the three-year performance periods. We account for PSU awards as equity-based awards because upon vesting, they will be settled in common shares. We expense as compensation cost the fair value of the PSUs as of the grant date and amortize expense ratably over the total performance and time vest period, considering the probability that we will satisfy the performance goals.

 

During the first three months of fiscal 2027, 9,640 PSUs vested, leaving 421,904 PSUs unvested and outstanding at September 30, 2026, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $22.07. Unrecognized compensation expense at September 30, 2026, related to PSUs, was $1.0 million based on the current estimates of the number of awards that will vest, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.0 years.

Segment Information

 

Ethan Allen conducts business globally and has strategically aligned its business into two reportable segments: Wholesale and Retail. These two segments represent strategic business areas of our vertically integrated enterprise that operate separately and provide their own distinctive services. Our operating segments are aligned with how the Company, including our chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) who is the Chairman of our Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the operating results and performance of the business.

 

We evaluate the performance of our two segments based upon net sales and operating income in order to allocate resources. Segment operating income is based on operating income before interest and other financing costs, interest and other income, net and income tax expense. The CODM assesses performance by regularly reviewing each segment’s significant expense categories which include selling expenses and cost of sales, general and administrative expenses, and advertising expenses.

 

Wholesale Segment. The wholesale segment is principally involved in the development of the Ethan Allen brand and encompasses all aspects of design, manufacturing, sourcing, marketing, sale and distribution of our broad range of home furnishings and accents. Wholesale revenue is recorded upon the shipment of our products to our retail network of independently operated design centers, Company-operated design centers, and other third-party contract business clients. Our wholesale segment’s net sales to Company-operated design centers are eliminated in consolidation.

 

16

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Retail Segment. The retail segment sells home furnishings and accents to clients through our 142 Company-operated design centers. Retail revenue is generated upon the retail sale and delivery of our products to our retail customers through our network of retail home delivery centers. Retail profitability reflects (i) the retail gross margin, which represents the difference between the retail net sales price and the cost of goods, purchased from the wholesale segment, and (ii) other operating costs associated with retail segment activities.

 

Intersegment. We account for intersegment sales transactions between our segments consistent with independent third-party transactions, that is, at current market prices. As a result, the manufacturing profit related to sales to our retail segment is included within our wholesale segment. Operating income realized on intersegment revenue transactions is therefore generally consistent with the operating income realized on our revenue from independent third-party transactions.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments represent obligations, such as those for future purchases of goods or services that are not yet recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as liabilities. We record liabilities for commitments when incurred (specifically when the goods or services are received). Fluctuations in our operating results, levels of inventory on hand, the degree of success of our accounts receivable collection efforts, the timing of tax and other payments, as well as capital expenditures will impact our liquidity and cash flows in future periods. 

 

Material Cash Requirements from Contractual Obligations. As disclosed in our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we had total contractual obligations of $183.1 million, including $140.8 million related to our undiscounted operating lease obligations and $22.5 million of open purchase orders at June 30, 2026. Except for $8.6 million in operating lease payments made to our landlords and $3.7 million of operating lease assets obtained in exchange for $3.7 million of operating lease liabilities during the first three months of fiscal 2027, there were no other material changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, in our contractual obligations as previously disclosed in our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Legal Matters. We are routinely party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including investigations or as a defendant in litigation. On a quarterly basis, we review our litigation activities and determine if an unfavorable outcome to us is considered “remote,” “reasonably possible” or “probable” as defined by ASC 450, Contingencies. Where we determine an unfavorable outcome is probable and is reasonably estimable, we accrue for potential litigation losses. Although the outcome of the various claims and proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that, based on information available at September 30, 2026, the likelihood is remote that any existing claims or proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the “MD&A”) is designed to provide a reader of our consolidated financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of our management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and certain other factors that may affect our future results.

 

The MD&A is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the MD&A, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Generally, forward-looking statements represent management’s beliefs and assumptions concerning current expectations, projections or trends relating to results of operations, financial results, financial condition, strategic objectives and plans, expenses, dividends, share repurchases, liquidity, use of cash and cash requirements, borrowing capacity, investments, future economic performance, and our business and industry. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “continue,” “may,” “will,” “short-term,” “target,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “future,” “strategy,” “opportunity,” “would,” “guidance,” “non-recurring,” “one-time,” “unusual,” “should,” “likely,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors and it is impossible for the Company to anticipate all factors that could affect actual results and matters that are identified as “short term,” “non-recurring,” “unusual,” “one-time,” or other words and terms of similar meaning may in fact recur in one or more future financial reporting periods. 

 

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that are expected. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to the risks and uncertainties disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and elsewhere here in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements, as well as other cautionary statements. A reader should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in the context of these risks and uncertainties. Given the risks and uncertainties surrounding forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on these statements. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. The forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

 

Executive Overview

 

Who We Are. Founded in 1932, Ethan Allen is a leading interior design company, manufacturer and retailer in the home furnishings marketplace. We are a global luxury home fashion brand that is vertically integrated from product design through home delivery, which offers clients stylish product offerings, artisanal quality and personalized service. We are known for the quality and craftsmanship of our products as well as for the exceptional personal service from design to delivery. We provide complimentary interior design service to our clients and sell a full range of home furnishings through a retail network of design centers located throughout the U.S. and internationally as well as online at www.ethanallen.com.

 

Ethan Allen design centers represent a mix of locations operated by independent licensees and Company-operated locations. At September 30, 2026, the Company operated 142 retail design centers, 137 located in the U.S. and 5 in Canada. Our independently operated design centers are located in the U.S., Asia, the Middle East and Europe. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027, we opened new Company-operated design centers in Victoria Gardens (CA) and Aventura (FL).

 

We also own and operate eleven manufacturing facilities, including four manufacturing plants, one sawmill, one rough mill and a kiln dry lumberyard in the U.S., three upholstery manufacturing plants in Mexico and one case goods manufacturing plant in Honduras. Approximately 75% of our furniture is manufactured in our North American plants. We also contract with various suppliers located in Europe, Asia and other countries to import products.

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Ethan Allen focuses on the key areas of talent, service, marketing, technology and social responsibility. Our initiatives to introduce new products, run strong marketing campaigns, invest in our North American manufacturing, and maintain our logistics network throughout North America have positioned us well for sustained profitability and returning value to shareholders. 

 

Business Model. Our vertical integration is a competitive advantage for us. Our North American manufacturing and logistics operations are an integral part of an overall strategy to maximize production efficiencies and maintain this competitive advantage. Our business model is to focus on providing relevant product offerings, capitalizing on the personal service offered to our clients by our interior design professionals, leveraging the benefits of our vertical integration including a manufacturing presence in North America, investing in new technologies across our business, maintaining a strong logistics network, communicating our messages with strong marketing campaigns, and utilizing an omni-channel approach via our website, ethanallen.com. We aim to position Ethan Allen as the premier interior design destination and a preferred brand offering products of superior style, quality, and value to clients with a comprehensive, one-stop shopping solution for their home furnishing and interior design needs. We seek to constantly reinvent our projection and product offerings through a broad selection of products, designed to complement one another, reflecting current fashion trends in home furnishing.

 

We have undertaken a significant repositioning of our vertically integrated enterprise, including resizing many of our retail design centers. Our strategic priorities include translating these investments into profitable growth by bringing together our product offerings, interior design services, manufacturing and logistics. Our digital and marketing investments, including product visualization and 3D room-planning tools, are intended to strengthen customer engagement, showcase our products and interior design services, and connect customers with our design centers. Our strategy is designed to support long-term shareholder value while maintaining financial discipline. Our priorities are designed to support profitable and sustainable growth as we remain focused on disciplined investment, financial flexibility and long-term shareholder value.

 

Talent. At September 30, 2026, our employee count totaled 2,988, with 2,069 within our wholesale segment and 919 in our retail segment. Our employee count decreased 6.3% compared with a year ago, with 44 fewer employees in retail and 157 fewer employees in wholesale. We continually look for opportunities to strengthen our teams while at the same time optimizing headcount through operational efficiencies.

 

Fiscal 2027 First Quarter in Review (1). Consolidated net sales were $129.6 million, an 11.8% decrease from the prior year quarter primarily due to lower available starting backlog, reduced traffic, fewer contract sales, lower delivered unit volume and a challenging environment for home furnishings partially offset by higher average ticket price and incremental designer floor sample sales. Despite a sluggish start, we improved our written order business throughout the first quarter through a combination of increased marketing, higher levels of promotion and the introduction of new products. Retail segment written orders ended the quarter down 1.2% to last year while our wholesale segment written orders declined 1.3%. We maintained a strong consolidated gross margin of 59.6%, lower than last year primarily due to incremental tariffs partially offset by selective price increases. Our operating margin was 1.3% compared to 6.8% a year ago while diluted EPS was $0.07 compared with $0.41 a year ago. Adjusted operating margin in the current year first quarter was 2.2% while adjusted diluted EPS was $0.10. Lower operating margin reflects the combination of fewer consolidated net sales and the impact of tariffs partially offset by our focus on cost control and operational efficiencies. Our ability to manufacture approximately 75% of our furniture in our own North American facilities remains a major advantage combined with a vertically integrated enterprise including 172 retail design centers in North America and 12 more internationally. Our latest state-of-the-art design center located in Aventura, Florida, opened in September 2026 with more planned openings in fiscal 2027. We also continued our history of paying dividends to shareholders by paying a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.39 per share or $9.9 million as well as special dividends of $3.25 or $82.3 million. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $92.2 million at September 30, 2026 and we had no outstanding debt. We recently held our annual convention under the theme of We’re Just Getting Started and our upholstery operation in Silao, Mexico was named a Great Place to Work for the ninth consecutive year.

Net Sales

 

Consolidated net sales decreased $17.4 million or 11.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the same prior year period. The decrease was due to lower Retail segment net sales, a decline in contract sales and fewer international shipments partially offset by increased average ticket price and incremental designer floor sample sales from new product introductions.

 

21

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Wholesale - Wholesale net sales decreased $8.0 million or 9.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same prior year period due to lower contract sales, including shipments to the U.S. government General Services Administration (“GSA”), fewer international sales and a decline in sales to both our company owned and independent retail network partially offset by an increase in price per unit shipped. Lower levels of intercompany sales to our retail segment were driven by less available starting backlog. Backlog represents all written orders received that have not yet been delivered. Excluding intersegment sales to our retail segment, wholesale net sales decreased $3.2 million compared to the prior year. Contract sales declined by 57.6% in the first quarter of the current year compared with a year ago as the change in presidential administration in 2025 combined with the current macroeconomic and political environment led to delayed purchasing decisions. International sales represented 0.5% of total wholesale net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 compared with 1.1% in the prior year quarter, with declines noted in shipments to both the Middle East and China.

 

Wholesale written orders, which represent orders booked through all of our channels, were down 1.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to the same prior year period driven primarily by fewer international and contract orders. Global unrest combined with macroeconomic uncertainty created near-term pressure, particularly internationally and with our contract business. Orders from intersegment Company-operated design centers was flat while our independent U.S. retail network increased by 6.2%. Wholesale backlog was $55.0 million at September 30, 2026, up 2.7% from a year ago primarily from the strong incoming order flow in August and the beginning of September 2026 combined with timing of contract orders. The number of weeks of wholesale backlog at September 30, 2026 was comparable to a year ago.

 

Retail - Retail net sales decreased $14.2 million or 11.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the same prior year period. The decrease was driven by lower starting backlog, timing of incoming orders during the quarter, reduced manufacturing production and lower home delivery revenue partially offset by higher designer floor sample sales and an increase in the average Retail ticket price. Retail starting backlog on June 30, 2026 was 17% lower than the year prior, which when combined with a slow start to the quarter for written orders, negatively impacted net sales. Designer floor sample sales were up 17.9% in the current year first quarter and represented 4.5% of Retail net sales, up from 3.4% a year ago, primarily due to new product introductions.

 

Retail written orders for the three months ended September 30, 2026 were down 1.2% compared to the same prior year period partially due to the decline in traffic combined with the uncertainty created by the mid-term elections and a net decrease of one design center in the last 12 months partially offset by a higher volume of written e-commerce orders.

 

There were 142 Company-operated design centers at September 30, 2026. During the just completed first quarter we relocated our Puente Hills, CA design center to Victoria Gardens, CA and opened a new design center in Aventura, FL.

 

Gross Profit and Margin

 

Consolidated gross profit decreased $12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the same prior year period. The decrease in gross profit was driven primarily by lower net sales, incremental tariffs, increased designer floor sample sales, lower premier home delivery revenue and reduced levels of manufacturing production which led to higher variances partially offset by a change in sales mix and a higher average ticket price. Wholesale gross profit decreased 12.6% due to lower contract sales, a reduction in delivered unit volume, incremental tariffs and increased manufacturing input costs partially offset by lower employee compensation. Retail gross profit decreased 11.9% primarily due to lower net sales and a reduction in home delivery revenue partially offset by increased designer floor sample sales and a higher average ticket price.

 

Consolidated gross margin was 59.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared with 61.4% in the prior year period. Our fiscal 2027 first quarter consolidated gross margin declined 180 basis points primarily due to incremental tariffs, higher designer floor sample sales and reduced manufacturing production partially offset by a change in the sales mix, reduced headcount and a higher average ticket price. Our sales mix, which represents the percentage of retail sales compared to total consolidated sales, increased to 88.2% in the current year, up from 87.5% in the prior year due to lower contract sales within our wholesale segment. Wholesale gross margin for the first quarter was down 130 basis points due to incremental tariffs, lower contract sales and unfavorable manufacturing variances from lower production including higher overhead costs. Retail gross margin declined 50 basis points compared with the prior year period due to higher designer floor sample sales that carry a lower average margin and less premier home delivery revenue partially offset by higher average ticket price from selective price increases.

SG&A expenses decreased 5.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared with the same prior year period. When expressed as a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses for the quarter were 57.9%, up from 54.2% in the prior year first quarter primarily due to fixed cost deleveraging from lower delivered sales.

 

Consolidated selling expenses were down 7.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 primarily due to the 11.8% reduction in consolidated net sales. Lower sales led to less variable expenses, including fewer delivery costs and commissions. Retail selling expenses were down 4.3% due to lower delivery volume and variable compensation partially offset by increased fuel surcharges and merchandising aids for new product introductions. Wholesale selling expenses, which include our national logistics, decreased 16.5% due to lower distribution volumes, less outbound freight, reduced headcount including lower compensation, fewer employee benefit costs, temporary decline in marketing costs and decreased fees associated with our contract business. Our consolidated advertising expenses were down 8.2% compared to the prior year due to the timing of current year direct mail campaigns compared to the prior year. Marketing expenses represented 3.6% of consolidated net sales in the fiscal 2027 first quarter, up from 3.5% in the prior year period. We anticipate marketing expenses to increase during the remainder of fiscal 2027, and are projected to be 18% higher on a full year basis.

 

Consolidated general and administrative expenses during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 were down 3.6% compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower employee benefit costs and reduced headcount partially offset by incremental increases in technology, software and cyber-related expenses. Wholesale general and administrative expenses were 7.6% lower than a year ago primarily due to lower employee benefit costs. Retail general and administrative expenses decreased by 2.3% from lower occupancy costs from one less design center and reduced headcount. Compared to a year ago, our consolidated headcount is down 6.3%, with our Wholesale segment declining by 7.1% and Retail at 4.6% less.

 

Restructuring and other charges, net of gains

 

A loss of $0.6 million was recorded within Restructuring and other charges, net of gains during the first quarter of fiscal 2027, compared to $0.5 million in the prior year period. Included in the current year first quarter were proxy contest fees of $1.3 million partially offset by insurance proceeds received from our previously disclosed Woodbury, MN design center flood. The prior year restructuring charge of $0.5 million was related to lease exit costs within the Retail segment as a result of an early termination of a lease.

 

Consolidated Operating Income

 

Consolidated operating income of $1.6 million decreased by $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to the same prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, consolidated operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was 1.3%, compared to 6.8% in the prior year. Adjusted operating margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was 2.2% compared with 7.2% in the prior year. Reduced operating income during the first quarter was driven by lower sales and a reduction in gross margin from incremental tariffs partially offset by the 5.8% reduction in SG&A expenses from lower variable expenses, less employee compensation and lower advertising.

 

Wholesale operating income was $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared with $7.9 million for the same prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, wholesale operating income was 6.8%, compared to 9.1% in the prior year. Adjusted wholesale operating margin, which excludes the impact of the proxy contest fees and other non-recurring items, was 9.4%, up from 9.1% in the prior year. While our adjusted Wholesale operating income declined by $0.5 million due to lower sales and incremental tariffs, our adjusted Wholesale adjusted operating margin improved by 30 basis points due to reduced variable expenses, strong cost control, reduced headcount and lower marketing costs.

Retail operating loss was $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared with operating income of $1.4 million for the same prior year period. As a percentage of net sales, the retail negative operating margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 was -2.0% compared to an operating margin of 1.1% in the prior year. The decrease in retail operating income and margin was due to lower net sales, the 50-basis point decline in retail gross margin and incremental costs from higher fuel surcharges and merchandising aids partially offset by reduced variable costs from lower net sales and higher average ticket price.

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense was $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared with $3.6 million in the same prior year period. Our consolidated effective tax rate was 30.0% in the current year first quarter compared with 25.4% a year ago. Lower income tax expense was due to the reduction in income before income taxes. Our effective tax rate varies from the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes, the valuation allowance on foreign deferred tax assets and interest on unrecognized tax benefits.

 

Net Income

 

Net income was $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared with $10.5 million in the same prior year period. Adjusted net income was $2.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2027. The decline in net income was driven by lower net sales combined with incremental tariffs partially offset by decreased SG&A expenses.

 

Diluted EPS

 

Diluted EPS was $0.07 for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $0.41 in the same prior year period. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.10 during the first quarter of fiscal 2027. The decrease in diluted EPS was driven by deleveraging from lower net sales combined with incremental tariffs.

Regulation G Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS. The reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are shown in the tables below.

 

These non-GAAP measures are derived from the consolidated financial statements but are not presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide a meaningful comparison of our results to others in our industry and our prior year results. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all the items associated with the operations of the business as determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. Despite the limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures, we believe these adjusted financial measures and the information they provide are useful in viewing our performance using the same tools that management uses to assess progress in achieving our goals. Adjusted measures may also facilitate comparisons to our historical performance.

 

The following tables show a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this filing to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures:

At September 30, 2026, we had working capital of $122.0 million compared with $157.1 million at June 30, 2026 and a current ratio of 1.8 at September 30, 2026, compared with 2.1 at June 30, 2026. Our working capital decreased by $35.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 primarily due to the payment of cash dividends partially offset by an increase in inventory and prepaid expenses.

 

Our non-U.S. subsidiaries held $6.1 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2026, which we have determined to be indefinitely reinvested.

 

Summary of Cash Flows

 

At September 30, 2026, we held cash and cash equivalents of $92.2 million compared with $73.6 million at June 30, 2026. Cash and cash equivalents aggregated to 14.6% of our total assets at September 30, 2026 compared with 10.2% at June 30, 2026. We did not hold any investments as of September 30, 2026 compared with $113.9 million in aggregate short-term and long-term investments at June 30, 2026.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents increased $18.5 million during the first three months of fiscal 2027 due to $115.0 million of proceeds received from the sale of our short-term and long-term investments partially offset by $92.2 million in cash dividends paid, capital expenditures of $3.4 million and net cash used by operating activities of $0.8 million.

Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities

 

We used $0.8 million in cash from operating activities during the first three months of fiscal 2027 compared with cash provided of $16.8 million in the prior year period primarily due to lower net income, incremental restructuring payments and working capital changes partially offset by insurance proceeds received. Restructuring payments made during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 of $0.8 million were primarily for the Woodbury, MN design center flood repair work and proxy contest fees. Working capital changes were from increased inventory carrying levels along with timing of prepaid expenses partially offset by higher customer deposits. Higher levels of on-hand inventory reflect new product introductions combined with price increases. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027 we received additional insurance proceeds related to the Woodbury, MN design center. These insurance proceeds received were classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows based on the nature of the underlying loss, thus $0.9 million received for the reimbursement of cleanup costs was disclosed within operating activities while the remaining $0.7 million received for the reconstruction of the damaged building was reported within investing activities.

 

Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

 

Cash provided by investing activities was $112.3 million during the first three months of fiscal 2027 compared with cash used of $1.1 million in the prior year. During fiscal 2027, we had $115.0 million of net proceeds received from the liquidation of our short-term and long-term investments. In the prior year, we had $0.1 million of net purchases of investments, which related to $9.9 million of short-term U.S. treasuries that matured during the year and the subsequent reinvestment of $10.0 million. Capital expenditures during the first three months of fiscal 2027 were $3.4 million, up from $2.4 million in the prior year period. During the first quarter of the prior year, we received $1.4 million in insurance proceeds related to a fire within our Vermont sawmill.

 

Cash Used in Financing Activities

 

Cash used in financing activities was $92.8 million in the current year compared with $18.3 million a year ago. Total dividends paid were $92.2 million during the first three months of fiscal 2027, an increase from $16.4 million paid a year ago due to the increase in the special cash dividend, which went from $0.25 per share last year to $3.25 per share in the current fiscal year. In addition, during the first three months of fiscal 2027, a total of 21,065 shares valued at $0.5 million were repurchased from employees to satisfy their withholding tax obligations upon vesting of stock-based awards. This compared to $1.8 million repurchased for similar withholding tax obligations in the prior year period.

 

Exchange Rate Changes

 

Due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, namely among the Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar and Honduran Lempira against the U.S. Dollar, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.2 million during the first three months of fiscal 2027 compared with an increase of less than $0.1 million in the prior year period. These changes had an immaterial impact on our cash balances held in Mexico, Canada and Honduras.

 

At September 30, 2026 we did not have any restricted cash compared with $0.8 million in the year ago first quarter.

Capital Resources, including Material Cash Requirements

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

Capital Needs. On January 26, 2022, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and syndication agent and Capital One, National Association, as documentation agent. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2018, as amended. The Credit Agreement provides for a $125 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), subject to borrowing base availability, with a maturity date of January 26, 2027. The Company is currently in the process of amending and extending the Credit Agreement, with plans to renew it prior to maturity date. The Credit Agreement also provides us with an option to increase the size of the Facility up to an additional amount of $60 million. Availability under the Facility fluctuates according to a borrowing base calculated on eligible accounts receivable and inventory, net of customer deposits and reserves. The Facility includes covenants that apply under certain circumstances, including a fixed-charge coverage ratio requirement that applies when excess availability under the credit line is less than certain thresholds. At September 30, 2026, we were not subject to the fixed-charge coverage ratio requirement, had no borrowings outstanding under the Facility, were in compliance with all other covenants and had borrowing availability of $121.5 million of the $125.0 million credit commitment. We incurred financing costs of $0.5 million during fiscal 2022, which are being amortized as interest expense over the remaining life of the Facility using the effective interest method.

 

Letters of Credit. At September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, respectively, there were $3.5 million and $3.8 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.

 

Uses of Liquidity

 

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures during the first three months of fiscal 2027 totaled $3.4 million, an increase from $2.4 million in the prior year period. Current year capital expenditures were primarily for new retail design centers, additional manufacturing equipment, ongoing reconstruction of our Beecher Falls, Vermont outbuilding and investments in technology. New Company-operated design centers located in Victoria Gardens, CA and Aventura, FL were opened during the first quarter of fiscal 2027. We expect capital expenditures to be in the range of $12 million to $14 million for fiscal 2027, with continued spending on new design centers and manufacturing-related investments.

 

We have no other material contractual commitments outstanding for future capital expenditures and anticipate that cash from operations will be sufficient to fund future capital expenditures at least for the next 12 months and foreseeable future.

 

Dividends. Our Board of Directors has sole authority to determine if and when we will declare future dividends and on what terms. During the first three months of fiscal 2027, we paid total cash dividends of $92.2 million, including special dividends of $3.25 per share in addition to a regular quarterly dividend of $0.39 per share. We have paid a cash dividend every year since 1996. Although we expect to continue to declare and pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future, the payment of future cash dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, operations, financial condition, capital requirements and general business outlook, among other factors. Our credit agreement also includes covenants that set limitations on our ability to pay dividends.

 

Share Repurchase Program. There were no share repurchases under our existing multi-year share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) during the first three months of fiscal 2027 or 2026. At September 30, 2026, we had a remaining authorization to repurchase 1,757,364 shares of our common stock pursuant to our Share Repurchase Program. The timing and amount of any future share repurchases in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions will be determined by the Company’s officers at their discretion and based on a number of factors, including an evaluation of market and economic conditions while also maintaining financial flexibility.

 

Material Cash Requirements from Contractual Obligations

 

Fluctuations in our operating results, levels of inventory on hand, operating lease commitments, the degree of success of our accounts receivable collection efforts, the timing of tax payments, the rate of written orders and net sales, levels of customer deposits on hand, the payment of cash dividends, and capital expenditures to support the growth of our operations will impact our liquidity and cash flows in future periods. The effect of our contractual obligations on our liquidity and capital resources in future periods should be considered in conjunction with the factors mentioned here. At June 30, 2026, we had total contractual obligations of $183.1 million, including $140.8 million related to undiscounted operating lease obligations and $22.5 million of open purchase orders. Except for $8.6 million in operating lease payments made to our landlords and $3.7 million of operating lease assets obtained in exchange for $3.7 million of operating lease liabilities during fiscal 2027, there were no other material changes in our contractual obligations as previously disclosed in our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We do not utilize or employ any other arrangements in operating our business. As of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026, we have no material off-balance sheet arrangements. As such, we do not maintain any retained or contingent interests, derivative instruments or variable interests which could serve as a source of potential risk to our future liquidity, capital resources and results of operations.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

We disclose our significant accounting policies in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no changes in our significant accounting policies during the first three months of fiscal 2027 from those disclosed in our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP. In some cases, these principles require management to make difficult and subjective judgments regarding uncertainties and, as a result, such estimates and assumptions may significantly impact our financial results and disclosures. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We base our estimates on currently known facts and circumstances, prior experience and other assumptions we believe to be reasonable. We use our best judgment in valuing these estimates and may, as warranted, use external advice. Actual results could differ from these estimates, assumptions, and judgments and these differences could be significant. We make frequent comparisons throughout the year of actual experience to our assumptions to reduce the likelihood of significant adjustments and will record adjustments when differences are known.

 

We disclose our critical accounting estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the first three months of fiscal 2027 from those disclosed in our 2026 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 3, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, to the consolidated financial statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to the following market risks, which could impact our financial position and results of operations.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Debt

 

Interest rate risk exists primarily through our borrowing activities. Short-term debt, if required, is used to meet working capital requirements and long-term debt, if required, is generally used to finance long-term investments. There is inherent rollover risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and our future financing requirements. While we had no fixed or variable rate borrowings outstanding at September 30, 2026, we could be exposed to market risk from changes in risk-free interest rates if we incur variable rate debt in the future as interest expense will fluctuate with changes in the SOFR. We believe that a hypothetical 100 basis point change (up or down) in interest rates based on the one-month SOFR would not have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The fair market value of our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2026 was $92.2 million. We did not have any investments as of September 30, 2026. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and money market funds with original maturities of three months or less and are reported at fair value. Our primary objective for our cash equivalents is to achieve appropriate returns consistent with preserving principal and managing risk. Pursuant to our established investment policy guidelines, we try to achieve high levels of credit quality, liquidity and diversification. At any time, a sharp rise in market interest rates could have an impact on the fair value of our portfolio. Conversely, declines in interest rates, including the impact from lower credit spreads, could have an adverse impact on interest income for our portfolio. However, because of our investment policy and the nature of our investments, our financial exposure to fluctuations in interest rates is expected to remain low. We do not believe that the value or liquidity of our cash equivalents have been materially impacted by current market events. We monitor our interest rate and credit risks and believe the overall credit quality of our portfolio is strong. It is anticipated that the fair market value of our cash equivalents will continue to be immaterially affected by fluctuations in interest rates.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

 

Foreign currency exchange risk is primarily limited to our retail design centers located in Canada and manufacturing plants in Mexico and Honduras, as substantially all purchases of imported parts and finished goods are denominated in U.S. dollars. As such, foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from market changes in the value of foreign currencies have not had, nor are they expected to have, a material effect on our consolidated results of operations. A decrease in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may affect the profitability of our vendors, but as we employ a balanced sourcing strategy, we believe any impact would be moderate relative to peers in our industry.

 

The financial statements of our foreign locations are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rates for the period for revenues and expenses. Translation gains and losses that arise from translating assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of foreign operations are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income as a component of shareholders’ equity. Foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from market changes in the value of foreign currencies did not have a material impact during any of the fiscal periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

A hypothetical 10% weaker U.S. dollar against all foreign currencies at September 30, 2026 would have had an immaterial impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not engage in any foreign currency hedging activity and have no intention of doing so in the foreseeable future.

 

Duties and Tariffs Risk

 

Volatility and uncertainty within the global tariff environment is an ongoing market risk. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. government introduced a new 10% global import tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which expired 150 days after enactment. On July 24, 2026, new tariffs ranging between 10% and 12.5% under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 became effective and replaced the previously issued 10% global tariffs imposed under Section 122. Other tariffs imposed include those under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 as well as under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974.

 

We are exposed to risk with respect to these tariffs assessed on raw materials, component parts, upholstered wooden furniture and finished goods we import into the U.S. We are also subject to risks relating to other changes affecting imports, as we manufacture components and finished goods in Mexico and Honduras. Tariffs made effective in October 2025 under Section 232 have resulted in upholstered wood products produced and exported out of our Mexican manufacturing facilities being subject to a 25% tariff when entering the U.S. Our case goods products produced and exported out of our Honduras facility are currently subject to a 10% tariff under Section 301 made effective July 24, 2026. With regards to our imported finished goods and raw materials, our exposure is primarily concentrated on imported case goods from Indonesia, select fabrics from Asia and imported home accent products, consisting mostly of lighting from China and area rugs from India, which are currently subject to a 10% tariff.

 

The introduction of additional tariffs by the U.S. and reciprocal tariffs by other countries in the past two fiscal years has led to incremental costs for our raw materials and finished goods and negatively impacted our wholesale and consolidated margins. To help offset the impact of these additional tariffs, we worked with our vendors on cost sharing, performed additional sourcing diversification and increased retail selling prices, which were applied strategically across select products rather than broadly.

 

Ongoing geopolitical dynamics may result in additional tariffs being imposed in the future. Should duties rise or additional tariffs be enacted, we will evaluate whether additional retail price increases to help offset these incremental costs are warranted. We also believe our focus on manufacturing in North America (which represents approximately 75% of the furniture we sell) provides us with a strategic advantage to mitigate the impact of higher tariffs. By controlling more aspects of the production process within North America, we believe we will likely be able to mitigate some of our vulnerability to disruptions and cost increases associated with importing materials and finished goods from regions affected by tariff-related volatility.

 

Based on current operating levels, we estimate our annual tariff exposure to be between $12.0 million and $14.0 million. Our inability to minimize the impact of tariffs on our raw material input costs, pass through price increases or find alternative sources for our raw materials, may have a material adverse impact on future earnings and liquidity. As such, we can make no assurances about the long-term impact on our consolidated operating results and business.

Raw Materials and Other Commodity Price Risk

 

We are exposed to market risk from changes in the cost of raw materials used in our manufacturing processes, principally wood, fabric and foam products. The cost of foam products, which are petroleum-based, is sensitive to changes in the price of crude oil. We are also exposed to risk with respect to transportation costs, including shipping container and fuel prices, for receiving, shipping and delivering our products. Should commodity prices and transportation costs rise, we will determine whether a retail price increase to offset these costs is warranted. To the extent that an increase in these costs would have a material impact on our results of operations, we believe that our competitors would experience a similar impact.

 

Inflation Risk

 

Our results of operations and financial condition are presented based on historical cost. We believe any material inflationary impact on our product and operating costs would be partially offset by our ability to increase retail selling prices. We have been able to reduce certain manufacturing input costs by identifying lower cost alternatives in raw materials, reposition our retail design centers and implement operational efficiencies, including lower headcount, which have helped to minimize the impact of inflation.

 

Commercial Real Estate Market Risk

 

We have exposure to market risk related to conditions in the commercial real estate market. At September 30, 2026, there were 142 Company-operated retail design centers, of which 48 are owned and 94 are leased. Our retail segment real estate holdings could suffer significant impairment in value if we are forced to close design centers and sell or lease the related properties during periods of weakness in certain markets. We are also exposed to risk related to conditions in the commercial real estate rental market with respect to the right-of-use assets we carry on our consolidated balance sheets for leased properties. At September 30, 2026, the unamortized balance of such right-of-use assets totaled $105.0 million. Should we have to close or otherwise abandon one or more of these leased locations, we could incur additional impairment charges if rental market conditions do not support a fair value for the right-of-use asset in excess of its carrying value.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of September 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries), which is required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
