NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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 destination combining technology with personal service. Our design centers, which represent a mix of independent licensees and Company-owned and operated locations, offer complimentary interior design service, and sell a full range of home furnishings, including custom furniture and artisan-crafted accents for every room in the home. Vertically integrated from product design through logistics, we manufacture about 75% of our custom-crafted products in our North American manufacturing facilities and have been recognized for product quality and craftsmanship since our founding in 1932.

As of* *December 31, 2023, the Company operated 141 retail design centers with 137 located in the United States andfour in Canada. Our independently operated design centers are located in the United States, Asia, the Middle East and Europe. We also own and operateten manufacturing facilities, including four manufacturing plants, one sawmill, one rough mill andone kiln dry lumberyard in the United States, two manufacturing plants in Mexico andone manufacturing plant in Honduras.

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 withinInterest and other income, net.

All intercompany activity and balances, including any related profit on intercompany sales, have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. 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 and six months ended December 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. 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, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We derived the June 30, 2023 consolidated balance sheet from our audited financial statements included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with 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.

Restricted Cash

We present restricted cash as a component of total cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated statement of cash flows and withinOther Assets on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, we held $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of restricted cash related to our Ethan Allen insurance captive.

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

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 2024

Business Combinations. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08,Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) rather than adjust them to fair value at the acquisition date. The adoption of this accounting standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging. In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01,Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 801): Fair Value Hedging –Portfolio Layer Method, which expands the current single-layer hedging model to allow multiple-layer hedges of a single closed portfolio of prepayable financial assets or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments under the method. The adoption of this accounting standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective

*Disclosure Improvements.*In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06,Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendment in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The ASU incorporates several disclosure and presentation requirements currently residing in the SEC Regulations S-X and S-K. The amendments will be applied prospectively and are effective when the SEC removes the related requirements from Regulations S-X or S-K. Any amendments the SEC does not remove by June 30, 2027 will not be effective. As we are currently subject to these SEC requirements, this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Segment Reporting. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07,Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires all public entities to provide enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for our annual financial statements starting in fiscal 2025 and interim periods starting in fiscal 2026, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 and to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. This accounting standards update will be effective for us for fiscal year 2026 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective as of December 31, 2023 have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 inAccounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets as it is ultimately remitted to governmental authorities.

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 inPrepaid expenses and other current assets and a corresponding refund liability inOther current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, these amounts were immaterial.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Accounts receivable arise from the sale of products on trade credit terms and is presented net of allowance for doubtful accounts. We maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a review of specifically identified accounts in addition to an overall aging analysis. At December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the allowance for doubtful accounts was immaterial.

Commissions.We capitalize commission fees paid to our associates as contract assets withinPrepaid 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). At December 31, 2023, we had prepaid commissions of $10.3 million, which we expect to recognize to selling expense during the remainder of fiscal 2024 asSelling, general and administrative expenseswithin our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

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 inCustomer depositson our consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023, we had customer deposits of $63.1 million. At June 30, 2023 we had customer deposits of $77.8 million, of which we recognized $71.9 million of revenue related to our contract liabilities during the six months ended December 31, 2023. Revenue recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2023 which was previously included inCustomer deposits as of September 30, 2023 was $17.7 million, compared to $30.9 million of revenue recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2022, which was previously included inCustomer deposits as of September 30, 2022. We expect that substantially all of the customer deposits as of December 31, 2023 will be recognized as revenue within the next twelve months as the performance obligations are satisfied.

The following table disaggregates our net sales by product category by segment (in thousands):

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. At December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, 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 as of December 31, 2023 or June 30, 2023.

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 December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. There were no transfers between levels of fair value measurements during the periods presented.

Debt securities are presented below in accordance with their stated maturities. A portion of these investments are classified as non-current as they have stated maturities of more than one year from the balance sheet date. However, these investments are generally available to meet short-term liquidity needs.

There wereno 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 2024 or 2023.

*Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value for Disclosure Purposes Only.*We hadno outstanding bank borrowings as of December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. We have historically categorized our outstanding bank borrowings as a Level 2 liability.

We recognize substantially all leases on our balance sheet 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 three tofive 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.

The Company's lease terms and discount rates are as follows:

The following table discloses the location and amount of our operating and financing lease costs within our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (in thousands):

The following table reconciles the undiscounted future minimum lease payments (displayed by year and in the aggregate) under noncancelable leases with terms of more than one year to the total lease liabilities recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

We have one operating lease for a new retail service center which had not yet commenced as of December 31, 2023. This operating lease is not part of the tables above nor in the lease ROU assets and liabilities. This lease will commence when we obtain possession of the underlying leased asset, which is expected to occur during the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The operating lease is for a period of 62 months and has aggregate undiscounted future lease payments of $1.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, we did not have any financing leases that had not yet commenced.

Other supplemental information for our leases is as follows (in thousands):

There wereno financing lease obligations obtained in exchange for new financing lease assets during the six months ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.

Sale-leaseback transaction. On August 1, 2022, we completed a sale-leaseback transaction with an independent third party for the land, building and related fixed assets of a retail design center. The design center was leased back to Ethan Allen via a multi-year operating lease agreement. As part of the transaction, we received net proceeds of $8.1 million, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $1.8 million recorded withinRestructuring and other charges, net of gainsand $5.2 million deferred as a liability to be amortized toRestructuring and other charges, net of gains over the term of the related lease. For the six months ended December 31, 2023, we amortized an additional $1.3 million of this deferred liability as a gain within* Restructuring and other charges, net of gains*. As of December 31, 2023, the deferred liability balance was $1.5 million recorded inOther current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

Inventories are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Property, plant and equipment are summarized as follows (in thousands):

We recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $4.1 million and $3.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Depreciation expense was $8.0 million and $7.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The following table summarizes the nature of the amounts withinOther assets(in thousands):

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 December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, 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 and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 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.

The following table summarizes the nature of the amounts withinOther current liabilities (in thousands):

The Company's process for determining the provision for income taxes involves using an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on expected annual income and statutory tax rates across the various jurisdictions in which we operate. We recorded a provision for income tax expense of $5.9 million and $11.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 compared with $9.8 million and $19.9 million in the prior year comparable periods. Our consolidated effective tax rate was 25.5% for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2023 compared with 25.7% and 25.5% in the prior year comparable periods. Our 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. As of December 31, 2023, we had $3.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits compared with $3.0 million as of June 30, 2023. It is reasonably possible that various issues relating to $0.4 million of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 will be resolved within the next 12 months as exams are completed or statutes expire. If recognized, $0.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits would reduce our income tax expense in the period realized.

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 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 withinInterest 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 $121.0 million at both December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023.

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 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 hadno outstanding borrowings under the Facility as of December 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, or at any time during fiscal 2024 and 2023. Since we had no outstanding borrowings during fiscal 2024 and 2023, there wasno related interest expense during these periods.

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 years 2024 or 2023, did the unused availability under the Facility fall below $14.0 million, thus the Fixed-Charge Coverage Ratio (FCCR) Covenant did not apply. At both December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all the covenants under the Facility.

*Letters of Credit.*At both December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, there was $4.0 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.

Restructuring and other charges, net of gains were as follows (in thousands):

Activity within restructuring and other charges, net of gains are summarized in the table below (in thousands):

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators we used in our computations of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”):

(1)Dilutive potential common shares consist of stock options, restricted stock units and performance units.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, total share-based awards of 30,063 and 68,517, respectively, were excluded from the diluted EPS calculations because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the number of performance units excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS were 165,176 and 181,096, 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 consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on 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 inAccumulated Other Comprehensive Losswithin the consolidated balance sheets.

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows (in thousands):

The following table sets forth the activity in accumulated other comprehensive loss (in thousands):

We recognized total share-based compensation expense of $0.7 million and $0.8 million during the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These amounts have been included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income withinSG&A expenses. As of December 31, 2023*,* $2.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested equity awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. There wasno share-based compensation capitalized during the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

At December 31, 2023, there were 1,249,786 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 options, restricted stock and stock units. The number and frequency of share-based awards granted are based on competitive practices, our operating results and other factors.

Stock Option Activity

*Employee Stock Option Grants.*There wereno stock option awards granted to employees during the six months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

*Non-Employee Stock Option Grants.*The Plan also provides for the grant of share-based awards, including stock options, to non-employee directors of the Company. During the first six months of fiscal 2024, we granted 14,330 stock options at an exercise price of $34.89 to our non-employee directors. In the prior year period, we granted 23,970 stock options at an exercise price of $25.03. These stock options vest inthree 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 (the “Board”). 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 toten years, subject to continuous service on our Board.

As of December 31, 2023, $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested employee and non-employee stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.2 years. A total of 111,479 stock options were outstanding as of December 31, 2023, at a weighted average exercise price of $24.95 and a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.97.

Restricted Stock Unit Activity

During the first six months of fiscal 2024, we granted 17,232 non-performance based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), with a weighted average grant date fair value of $28.58. The RSUs granted to employees 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 inthree equal annual installments on the anniversary of the date of grant. In the prior year period, we granted 21,257 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $19.48 and vest inthree equal annual installments on the anniversary date of the grant.

During the first six months of fiscal 2024,15,537 RSUs vested and 2,750 RSUs forfeited, leaving 52,808 RSUs unvested and outstanding as of December 31, 2023, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $21.66.

As of December 31, 2023, $0.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.1 years.

Performance Stock Unit Activity

Payout of performance stock unit (“PSU”) grants depend on the attainment of certain financial and shareholder-return goals over a specific performance period, which is generally three fiscal years. 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.

During the first six months of fiscal 2024, we granted 73,095 PSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $27.58 compared with 103,096 PSUs at a weighted average grant date fair value of $18.75 in the prior year first half. We estimate, as of the date of grant, the fair value of PSUs with a discounted cash flow model, using as model inputs the risk-free rate of return as the discount rate, dividend yield for dividends not paid during the restriction period, and a discount for lack of marketability for a one-year post-vest holding period. The lack of marketability discount used is the present value of a future put option using the Chaffe model.

During the first six months of fiscal 2024,81,250 PSUs, that were previously granted in August 2020, vested andnone were forfeited. As of December 31, 2023, a total of 378,841 PSUs were outstanding, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $22.08.

Unrecognized compensation expense as of December 31, 2023, related to PSUs, was $1.1 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 1.7 years.

Ethan Allen conducts business globally and has strategically aligned its business intotwo reportable segments: Wholesale and Retail. Thesetwo 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, manages the business. This vertical structure enables us to offer our complete line of home furnishings and accents more effectively while controlling quality and cost. We evaluate performance of the respective segments based upon sales and operating income.

*Wholesale Segment.*The wholesale segment is principally involved in the development of the Ethan Allen brand and encompasses all aspects of design, manufacturing, sourcing, merchandising, marketing and distribution of our broad range of home furnishings and accents. Our wholesale segment net sales include sales to our retail segment, which are eliminated in consolidation, and sales to our independent retailers and other third parties. Wholesale revenue is generated upon the sale and shipment of our products to our retail network of independently operated design centers, Company-operated design centers and other contract customers.

*Retail Segment.*The retail segment sells home furnishings and accents to clients through a network of 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. Segment operating income is based on profit or loss from operations before interest and other income, net, interest and other financing costs, and income taxes. Sales are attributed to countries on the basis of the customer's location.

Commitments represent obligations, such as those for future purchases of goods or services that are not yet recorded on the balance sheet as liabilities. We record liabilities for commitments when incurred (specifically when the goods or services are received).

*Material Cash Requirements from Contractual Obligations.*As disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we had total contractual obligations of $199.1 million, including $152.4 million related to our operating lease commitments and $29.2 million of open purchase orders as of June 30, 2023. Except for $16.1 million in operating lease payments made to our landlords and $10.1 million of operating lease assets obtained in exchange for $10.1 million of operating lease liabilities during the first half of fiscal 2024, there were no other material changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, in our contractual obligations as previously disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Legal Matters.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 December 31, 2023*,* 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.
