DANBURY, CT, July 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. (“Ethan Allen” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ETD), a leading interior design destination, today reported its results for the fiscal 2026 full year and fourth quarter ended June 30, 2026 and announced a special and regular cash dividend.
Farooq Kathwari, Ethan Allen’s Chairman, President and CEO commented, “We are pleased to report our fiscal 2026 financial and operating results, which include strong margins and a robust balance sheet despite a challenging operating environment. Fiscal 2026 marked a year where we further strengthened many areas of our vertically integrated enterprise, including our talent, product offerings, marketing, technology, retail network, manufacturing, logistics and social responsibility. Recent product introductions, which portray classics with a modern perspective, resonate with our clients. We remain confident in our long-term strategy as the interior design destination, operating a vertically integrated enterprise with 171 Ethan Allen Retail Design Centers in North America and more internationally, and supported by strong North American manufacturing and logistics.”
“We remain focused on implementing meaningful strategies to further strengthen our business. We have been able to improve operating efficiency and run a leaner enterprise despite a reduction in business with the U.S. State Department and sluggish demand. For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, we reported consolidated net sales of $146.8 million, adjusted gross margin of 59.7%, adjusted operating income of $10.8 million, adjusted operating margin of 7.4% and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.36. Wholesale segment written orders declined 11.9% compared to last year while our Retail segment written orders declined 10.8% as a difficult prior year comparison combined with lower design center traffic and broader macroeconomic uncertainty, including global unrest, created near-term pressure on our written sales. Our adjusted operating margin of 7.4% reflects the impact of tariffs partially offset by our focus on cost control and operational efficiencies.”
“We remain debt-free with substantial liquidity and a robust balance sheet to support long-term growth. During the just completed fourth quarter we generated $22.4 million in operating cash flow, including $5.0 million from tariff refunds. Our strong operating cash flow combined with disciplined capital management helped drive our ending total cash and investments to $187.5 million, which reflects our commitment to maintaining the financial strength needed in today’s challenging environment. We continued our history of returning capital to shareholders by paying a regular quarterly cash dividend of $10.0 million and are pleased to announce that yesterday our Board approved a special cash dividend of $0.25 per share and a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.39 per share, both payable on August 26, 2026.”
“Our vertical integration and focus on one brand are our strengths. Throughout our 94-year history, we’ve navigated many economic and housing cycles through constant reinvention. We are committed to offering relevant quality products, providing complimentary interior design service and manufacturing approximately 75% of the custom furniture in our own North American facilities. We acknowledge the ways technology is changing the furniture shopping experience and through investments in our people, our design centers, our marketing and our technology, we are creating a stronger client engagement experience while expanding into additional retail markets. We want to thank our teams across Ethan Allen for their continued dedication and execution, and our shareholders for their ongoing support as we remain focused on driving long-term shareholder value. We look forward to continuing our progress and remain cautiously optimistic,” concluded Mr. Kathwari.

BALANCE SHEET and CASH FLOW
Cash and investments
totaled $187.5 million at June 30, 2026 compared with $196.2 million a year ago. The decrease during fiscal 2026 was due to $46.3 million in cash dividends paid, capital expenditures of $11.0 million and share repurchases of $4.8 million partially offset by $52.5 million in cash generated by operating activities, including $5.0 million in tariff refunds.
Cash from operating activities
totaled $52.5 million during fiscal 2026, a decrease from $61.7 million in the prior year primarily due to lower net income, incremental restructuring payments and changes in working capital, including an increase in inventory carrying levels and lower customer deposits.
Cash dividends
paid during fiscal 2026 totaled $46.3 million, which included a special cash dividend of $6.4 million, or $0.25 per share, and regular quarterly cash dividends totaling $39.9 million.
Inventories, net
totaled $148.5 million at June 30, 2026, an increase of 5.4% since last year as new product introductions combined with price increases drove higher levels of on-hand inventory but improved in-stock inventory positions.
Customer deposits
from undelivered written orders totaled $62.7 million at June 30, 2026, down from $75.1 million a year ago as delivered sales outpaced incoming retail written orders. Wholesale backlog was $44.3 million at June 30, 2026, a decrease of 9.3% due to a slowdown in orders and improved customer lead times.
No debt outstanding
at June 30, 2026.
DIVIDENDS
On April 28, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a $0.39 per share regular quarterly cash dividend, which was paid on May 27, 2026. More recently, on July 28, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a $0.25 per share special cash dividend in addition to a $0.39 per share regular quarterly cash dividend, both payable on August 26, 2026 to shareholders of record as of August 12, 2026. Ethan Allen has a strong history of returning capital to shareholders and this year marks the sixth consecutive year in which the Company has declared and paid a special cash dividend.

ABOUT NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This release is intended to supplement, rather than to supersede, the Company's consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In this release the Company has included financial measures that are derived from the consolidated financial statements but are not presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted gross profit and margin, adjusted operating income and margin, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS (collectively “non-GAAP financial measures”). The Company computes these non-GAAP financial measures by adjusting the comparable GAAP measure to remove the impact of certain charges and gains and the related tax effect of these adjustments. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that they provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure reported in accordance with GAAP is provided at the end of this release.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This release 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 initiatives, expenses, dividends, share repurchases, liquidity, use of cash and cash requirements, investments, future economic indicators, business conditions and industry performance.

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,” “pandemic,” 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. The Company derives many of its forward-looking statements from operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon detailed assumptions. While the Company believes that its assumptions are reasonable, it cautions that it is 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.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted gross profit and margin, 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 tables below.
These non-GAAP measures are derived from the consolidated financial statements but are not presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide a meaningful comparison of its results to others in its industry and prior year results. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, its 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 the Company does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. Despite the limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures, the Company believes these adjusted financial measures and the information they provide are useful in viewing its performance using the same tools that management uses to assess progress in achieving its goals. Adjusted measures may also facilitate comparisons to historical performance.
The following tables provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures:
