Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management's Responsibility for Financial Information
Management is responsible for the consistency, integrity and preparation of the information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements and other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include amounts based on management’s estimates and judgments. All financial information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K has been presented on a basis consistent with the information included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
To fulfill our responsibility, we maintain comprehensive accounting systems, including internal accounting controls, designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are executed in accordance with established procedures. The concept of reasonable assurance is based upon recognition that the cost of the controls should not exceed the related benefits. We believe our systems of internal control provide this reasonable assurance.
Our Board of Directors exercised its oversight role with respect to our systems of internal control primarily through its audit committee, which is comprised of independent directors. The committee oversees our systems of internal control, accounting practices, financial reporting and audits to assess whether their quality, integrity, and objectivity are sufficient to protect shareholders' investments.
In addition, our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2026 and 2025 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2026, and the related notes, have been audited by CohnReznick LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report also appears in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
| ● | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
| ● | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and |
| ● | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management (with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework inInternal Control–* Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2026 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026 has been audited by CohnReznick LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is included herein.
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ethan Allen Interiors Inc.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2026, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We have also audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026, based on criteria established inInternal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2026, based on criteria established in* Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013)* issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that responds to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
An entity’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. An entity’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the entity; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the entity are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the entity; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the entity’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Assessment of impairment of retail design center long-lived assets, including right-of-use lease assets (Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements)
The Company reviews the carrying value of retail design center long-lived assets, which includes the right-of-use lease assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset is less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes a loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and the fair value. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, as of June 30, 2026,Property, plant and equipment, net, was $210.2 million and the Operating lease right-of-use assets were $109.2 million. During the year ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized impairment charges totaling $0.4 million related to two design centers. These impairments were driven by negative cash flows and the inability to recover carrying values through undiscounted future cash flows, which indicated that the carrying values of the associated asset groups were not recoverable.
We identified the assessment of impairment of the retail design center long-lived assets, including right-of-use lease assets, as a critical audit matter given the complexity of management’s judgments relating to the assessment of impairment indicators, including recurring negative cash flows. Given these factors, the related audit effort in evaluating management's judgments in assessing impairment indicators was complex, subjective, and challenging, and required a high degree of auditor judgment.
How our Audit Addressed the Critical Audit Matter
Our principal audit procedures related to this critical audit matter included the following:
| ● | We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls pertaining to the retail design center impairment analysis, inclusive of those controls pertaining to the identification of triggering events. |
| ● | We evaluated management’s significant accounting policies related to the consideration of impairment for long-lived assets for reasonableness. |
| ● | We evaluated the reasonableness of the underlying data used in management’s impairment analysis and management’s conclusions on the impairment charges recorded during the year ended June 30, 2026. |
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

| (2) | 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 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.
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.
Reclassification
The Company reclassified insurance proceeds received of $0.2 million and $1.6 million during fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows fromPayments on restructuring and other charges toProceeds from insurance recoveries within Net cash provided by operating activities to conform to the current year’s presentation. This change was made for disclosure purposes only and did not have any impact on previously reported results.
| (3) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Our significant accounting policies are summarized below.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash and cash equivalents and are reported at fair value. Our corporate money market funds are readily convertible into cash and the net asset value of each fund on the last day of the month is used to determine its fair value. We maintain our cash and cash equivalent accounts in various financial institutions and as such, perform ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit our concentration of credit risk.
Restricted Cash
We present restricted cash as a component of total cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated statements of cash flows and withinOther assets on our consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2026 we didnot have any restricted cash compared with $0.8 million in the prior year, which related to the Ethan Allen insurance captive.
Investments
Our investments, both short-term and long-term, at June 30, 2026 consist solely of U.S. Treasury bills and notes with maturities of two years or less. We classify our investments as available-for-sale debt investments and are held in the custody of major financial institutions. These short-term and long-term investments are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The fair value of our underlying investments is based on observable inputs and classified as Level 2. Unrealized gains and losses on these investments are included, net of tax, as a separate component ofAccumulated other comprehensive loss. There wereno material gross unrealized gains or losses on the investments at June 30, 2026 or 2025*.*
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable arise from the sale of products on trade credit terms and is presented net of 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 June 30, 2026 and 2025, the allowance for credit losses was immaterial.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. Cost is determined based solely on those charges incurred in the acquisition and production of the related inventory (i.e., material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs). We estimate inventory reserves for excess quantities and obsolete items based on specific identification and historical write-offs, taking into account future demand and market conditions. If actual demand or market conditions in the future are less favorable than those estimated, additional inventory write-downs may be required. At both June 30, 2026 and 2025 our inventory reserves were $1.5 million.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis. Estimated useful lives of the respective assets typically range from twenty toforty years for buildings and improvements and from three totwenty years for machinery and equipment. Information systems, computer hardware and software, which are included within the machinery and equipment category, are typically depreciated from three tofive years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the underlying lease term or the estimated useful life. Repairs and maintenance expenditures, which are not considered leasehold improvements and do not extend the useful life of the property and equipment, are expensed as incurred.
Retirement, sales or dispositions of long-lived assets are recorded based on carrying value and proceeds received. Any resulting gains or losses are recorded as a component of operating expenses.
Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. For further discussion regarding impairments refer to theImpairment of Long-Lived Assets accounting policy below.
Assets Held for Sale
An asset is considered to be held for sale when all of the following criteria are met: (i) management commits to a plan to sell the property; (ii) it is unlikely that the disposal plan will be significantly modified or discontinued; (iii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition; (iv) actions required to complete the sale of the property have been initiated; (v) sale of the asset is probable and the completed sale is expected to occur within one year; and (vi) the property is actively being marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable given its current market value.
Upon designation as an asset held for sale, the carrying value of the asset is recorded at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell, and the Company ceases depreciating the asset. As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, we didnot have any assets held for sale.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review the carrying value of our long-lived assets, which includes our right-of-use lease assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Our assessment of recoverability is based on our best estimates using either quoted market prices or an analysis of the undiscounted projected future cash flows by asset group in order to determine if there is any indicator of impairment requiring us to further assess the fair value of our long-lived assets. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset is less than the carrying value, we recognize a loss equal to the difference between the carrying value and the fair value, usually determined by the estimated discounted cash flow analysis of the assets. Our asset groups consist of our operating segments within our wholesale reportable segment, each of our retail design centers and other corporate assets. The asset group is defined as the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are available and largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets, which for our retail segment is the individual retail design center and for our wholesale segment is the manufacturing plant level. We estimate future cash flows based on design center-level historical results, current trends, third-party appraisals and operating and cash flow projections. Our estimates are subject to uncertainty and may be affected by a number of factors outside our control, including general economic conditions and the competitive environment. While we believe our estimates and judgments about future cash flows are reasonable, future impairment charges may be required if the expected cash flow estimates, as projected, do not occur or if events change requiring us to revise our estimates.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets* *
Our goodwill and intangible assets are comprised primarily 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 assigned to our wholesale reporting unit, which 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, and are not amortized as they are estimated to have an indefinite life.
We are required to test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles for potential impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators occur. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and between annual tests whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the goodwill or other intangible asset may exceed its fair value.
*Goodwill.*When testing goodwill for impairment, we may elect to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether it is more likely than not the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying value. In performing a qualitative assessment, we consider such factors as macro-economic conditions, industry and market conditions in which we operate including the competitive environment and significant changes in demand. We also consider our stock price both in absolute terms and in relation to peer companies. If the qualitative analysis indicates that it is more likely than not the fair value of our wholesale reporting unit is less than its carrying amount or if we elect not to perform a qualitative analysis, a quantitative analysis is performed to determine whether a goodwill impairment exists. The quantitative goodwill impairment analysis is used to identify potential impairment by comparing fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount using an income approach, along with other relevant market information, derived from a discounted cash flow model to estimate fair value of our reporting units. We performed our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 using 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.
*Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets (trade name).*The fair value of our trade name, which is the Company’s only indefinite-lived intangible asset other than goodwill, is assessed annually in the fourth quarter and may be reviewed more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. Conditions that may indicate impairment include, but are not limited to, a significant adverse change in customer demand or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, a product recall or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When testing for impairment, we may elect to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether it is more likely than not the fair value of our trade name is greater than its carrying value. We 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.
Leases
We determine if an arrangement 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. Lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset pursuant to the lease for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement of an arrangement where it is determined at inception that a lease exists. These assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using our incremental borrowing rate generally applicable to the location of the lease ROU asset, unless an implicit rate is readily determinable. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. As we do not have any outstanding public debt, we estimated the incremental borrowing rate based on our estimated credit rating and available market information. The incremental borrowing rate is subsequently reassessed upon a modification to the lease agreement. We combine lease and certain non-lease components for our design center real estate leases in determining the lease payments subject to the initial present value calculation. Lease ROU assets include upfront lease payments and exclude lease incentives, where applicable. Certain operating leases have renewal options and rent escalation clauses as well as various purchase options. We assess these options to determine if we are reasonably certain of exercising these options based on all relevant economic and financial factors. Any options that meet these criteria are included in the lease term at lease commencement.
Operating leases are included withinOperating lease right-of-use assets,Current operating lease liabilities andOperating lease liabilities, long-term in our consolidated balance sheets. Financing leases are included withinProperty, plant and equipment, net,Other current liabilities, andOther long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Lease expense for operating leases consists of both fixed and variable components. Expenses related to fixed lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are generally expensed as incurred and include certain index-based changes in rent, certain non-lease components, such as maintenance and other services provided by the lessor, and other charges included in the lease. We have elected the short-term lease exemption, whereby leases with initial terms of one year or less are not capitalized and instead expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 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 lease expense in the period incurred.
Refer to Note 6,*Leases,*for further lease accounting details.
Customer Deposits
In most cases we collect deposits from clients 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 clients, resulting in contract liabilities. These customer deposits are reported as a current liability inCustomer depositson our consolidated balance sheets. We had customer deposits of $62.7 million, $75.1 million and $73.5 million as of June 30, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. We reduce the contract liability when we recognize revenue. During fiscal 2026, we recognized $74.4 million of revenue related to our contract liabilities reported at June 30, 2025. During fiscal 2025, we recognized $71.9 million of revenue related to our contract liabilities reported at June 30, 2024. We expect that substantially all of the customer deposits received as of June 30, 2026 will be recognized as revenue within the next twelve months as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Deferred Financing Fees
Deferred financing fees related to our credit facility are included inPrepaid expenses and other current assets(current portion) andOther assets(non-current portion)* on our consolidated balance sheets and amortized as interest expense utilizing the effective interest method. Such amortization is included inInterest and other financing costs* in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the remaining life of the credit facility.
Insurance
We maintain insurance coverage for significant exposures, as well as those risks that, by law, must be insured. We use a combination of insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks, including healthcare coverage, workers' compensation, general liability, auto liability, employment practices, property, directors and officers liability, and cyber, among others. Liabilities associated with these risks are estimated in part by considering historic claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other assumptions. We have various excess loss coverage for such risks and our deductibles generally do not exceed $1.0 million.
In the case of the Company’s healthcare coverage for employees, we have an insurance program that includes a stop-loss insurance policy to protect from individual losses over a specified dollar value. Expenses related to this insured program are computed on an actuarial basis, based on claims experience, regulatory requirements, an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported (“IBNR”) and other relevant factors. The projections involved in this process are subject to uncertainty related to the timing and the amount of claims filed, levels of IBNR, fluctuations in healthcare costs and changes to regulatory requirements. We recorded an estimated liability related to healthcare coverage of $1.5 million at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These liabilities are recorded withinAccrued compensation and benefits on our consolidated balance sheets.
We also carry workers’ compensation insurance subject to a deductible amount for which the Company is responsible on each claim. We recorded an estimated liability related to workers’ compensation claims, primarily for claims that do not meet the per-incident deductible, of $5.0 million and $4.5 million at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The workers’ compensation insurance reserve is recorded withinAccrued compensation and benefits on our consolidated balance sheets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, investments, receivables and payables, and customer deposit liabilities approximates fair value. We believe the fair value of any future borrowings under our credit facility will approximate its carrying amount as the terms and interest rate approximate market rates given its floating interest rate basis.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.
We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Most of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would be recorded as a benefit to income tax expense. The liability associated with an unrecognized tax benefit is classified as a long-term liability except for the amount for which a cash payment is expected to be made or tax positions settled within one year. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense.
Revenue Recognition
Our reported revenue (net sales) consist 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 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 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 June 30, 2026 and 2025, these amounts were immaterial.
Commissions.We capitalize commissions 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). We had prepaid commissions of $9.6 million, $11.5 million and $11.5 million as of June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We expect to recognize the $9.6 million of prepaid commissions as of June 30, 2026 within selling expense in the next twelve months within our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Consumer Financing Program (Private Label Credit Card)
The Ethan Allen Platinum Card program offers clients custom financing options. Financing offered through this program is administered by a third-party financial institution and is granted to our clients on a non-recourse basis to the Company. The third-party financial institution is the sole owner of the accounts issued under the program and absorbs the losses associated with non-payment by the private label card holders. Clients may apply for an Ethan Allen Platinum Card at a design center or online at ethanallen.com. Each private label credit card bears the Ethan Allen brand logo and can only be used at a design center or online.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales consist of the cost to manufacture our merchandise including materials, direct labor and overhead costs as well as the cost to purchase import products, including inbound freight and tariffs.
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses
SG&A expenses include the costs of selling our products and general and administrative costs. Selling expenses primarily consist of warehousing, delivery, outbound freight, commissions, advertising, digital and web-technology, and compensation and benefits of employees performing various sales and designer functions. Occupancy costs, depreciation, compensation and benefits for administrative employees and other administrative costs are included in SG&A. All design center pre-opening costs are included in SG&A expenses and are expensed as incurred.
Advertising Expenses
Advertising expenses represent costs associated with our direct mailings, digital marketing and other mediums as well as those employees supporting our advertising campaigns. These costs included advertising media expenses, outside agency fees, certain website related costs and photo and video production. Advertising costs from our direct mailers are expensed when provided to the carrier for distribution. Website, print and other advertising expenses, which include digital advertising, web creative content, national television and direct marketing activities such as print media, paid social campaigns and radio, are expensed as incurred or upon the release of the content or initial advertisement. Prepaid advertising costs were immaterial at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to expense in the periods incurred and are included as a component of SG&A. Expenditures for research and development costs were immaterial in each fiscal year presented.
Interest and Other Income, Net
Interest and other income, net includes interest income on investments, foreign currency gains or losses and other income or expense incurred outside our normal course of business. Total interest income on investments was $6.4 million, $7.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively, in fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024. Also included in fiscal 2026 was a contract modification fee received by Ethan Allen related to our former private label credit card service provider.
Interest and Other Financing Costs
Interest and other financing costs are primarily from the amortization of deferred financing fees. Interest expense was immaterial for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
The Company’s supplemental cash flow information is presented in the following required disclosures. Refer to Note 6,Leases for cash flow impacts from leasing transactions during each of the past three fiscal years. Refer to Note 14,Income Taxes, for cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds during each of the past three fiscal years. Cash paid for interest was immaterial for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024. There were no other material non-cash investing or financing activities during each period presented.
Treasury Stock
The Company accounts for repurchased common stock on a trade date basis under the cost method and includes such treasury stock as a component of its shareholders’ equity. We account for the formal retirement of treasury stock by deducting its par value from common stock, reducing additional paid-in capital (“APIC”) by the average amount recorded in APIC when the stock was originally issued and any remaining excess of cost deducted from retained earnings.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is included within SG&A expenses. Tax benefits associated with our stock-based compensation arrangements are included within income tax expense.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards at the time of grant using the following methods:
| ● | Stock Options. Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs, including anticipated changes in the underlying stock price (i.e., expected volatility) and option exercise activity (i.e., expected life). Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock and other contributing factors. The risk-free rate of return is based on the U.S. Treasury bill rate extrapolated to the term matching the expected life of the grant. The dividend yield is based on the annualized dividend rate at the grant date relative to the grant date stock price. The expected life of options granted, which represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding, is based, primarily, on historical data. |
| ● | Non-Performance based Restricted Stock Units. Discounted cash flow model. This model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to model inputs including anticipated future dividends not paid during the restriction period, and a discount for lack of marketability for a one-year holding period after vesting. The lack of marketability discount used is the present value of a future put option using the Chaffe model. |
| ● | Performance-based Units. Discounted cash flow model. This model requires using as 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. Performance-based units require management to make assumptions regarding the likelihood of achieving Company performance targets on a quarterly basis. The number of performance-based units that vest will be predicated on the Company achieving these performance levels. A change in the financial performance levels the Company achieves could result in changes to our current estimate of the vesting percentage and related stock-based compensation. |
| ● | Market-based Performance Units. Monte Carlo valuation model. The Monte Carlo model incorporates more complex variables than closed-form models such as the Black-Scholes option valuation model used for stock option grants. The Monte Carlo valuation model simulates a distribution of stock prices to yield an expected distribution of stock prices over the remaining performance period, which will be used to determine our expected performance ranking relative to our peer group. The stock-paths are simulated using volatilities calculated with historical information using data from a look-back period that is equal to the vesting period. The model assumes a zero-coupon, risk-free interest rate with a term equal to the vesting period. The simulations are repeated many times and the mean of the discounted values is calculated as the grant date fair value for the award. The final payout of the award as calculated by the model is then discounted back to the grant date using the risk-free interest rate. We expense compensation cost over the vesting period regardless of whether the market condition is ultimately satisfied. |
As stock-based compensation expense recognized is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures are estimated based primarily on historical experience. Windfall tax benefits, defined as tax deductions that exceed recorded stock-based compensation, are classified as cash inflows from operating activities. The value of the portion of the equity-based awards that are ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of each Company-operated foreign location is the respective local currency. 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. Resulting translation adjustments are reported as a component ofAccumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses associated with translating assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is different than a subsidiary’s functional currency are recorded in* Interest and other income, net* in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Earnings Per Share
We compute basic EPS by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated similarly, except that the weighted average outstanding shares are adjusted to include the effects of converting all potentially dilutive stock-based awards issued under our employee stock plans. The number of potential common shares outstanding are determined in accordance with the treasury stock method to the extent they are dilutive. For the purpose of calculating EPS, common shares outstanding include common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock-based compensation awards. Under the treasury stock method, the exercise price paid by the optionee and future stock-based compensation expense that the Company has not yet recognized are assumed to be used to repurchase shares.
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 2026 * *
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 the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, and have applied it 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 14,*Income Taxes,*in the accompanying notes to the consolidated statements for further detail.
Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective
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 consolidated 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 is effective for our annual consolidated financial statements starting in fiscal 2028 with interim periods starting in fiscal 2029, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this accounting standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related notes.
*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 intended function. 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, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this accounting standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related notes.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective as of June 30, 2026 have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

| (5) | Other includes product delivery sales, sales of third-party furniture protection plans and other sales less prompt payment discounts, sales allowances and other incentives. |
| (5) | 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. At June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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 heldno Level 3 assets or liabilities at June 30, 2026 or 2025.
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 June 30, 2026 and 2025. We did not have any transfers between levels of fair value measurements during the periods presented.

| (3) | 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 liability due to uncertainty of the payment amount and recorded as expense in the period incurred. |

| (10) | 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 June 30, 2026 and 2025, we had $25.4 million of goodwill and $19.7 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets, all of which are 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. 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.
| (11) | Restructuring and Other Charges, Net of Gains |
Restructuring and other charges, net of gains, were as follows (in thousands):

| Severance and other charges | 927 | 243 | |
| Total Restructuring and other charges, net of gains | $1,109 | $343 | |
| (1) | We recorded restructuring charges of $1.5 million related to early lease termination fees associated with the closing of two retail design centers during fiscal 2026. |
| (2) | Our sawmill operations located in Beecher Falls, Vermont sustained damage from a fire. Losses incurred from the disposal of inventory, damaged equipment and facility cleanup totaled $1.4 million during fiscal 2026. In addition, $2.3 million in insurance proceeds were received by the Company, which lowered the financial impact to a net gain of $0.9 million during fiscal 2026. The insurance proceeds received were classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows based on the nature of the underlying loss, thus $1.1 million received for the reimbursement of cleanup costs was disclosed within operating activities while the remaining $1.2 million received for the reconstruction of the damaged outbuilding was disclosed within investing activities. The fire did not have a material impact on our operations as our Beecher Falls, Vermont facility returned to normal schedule shortly after the incident. |
| (3) | Our retail design center located in Woodbury, Minnesota sustained damage from a flood. Losses incurred from the disposal of inventory and facility cleanup totaled $1.7 million during fiscal 2026. In addition, $2.5 million in insurance proceeds were received by the Company, which lowered the financial impact to a net gain of $0.8 million during fiscal 2026. The insurance proceeds received were classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows based on the nature of the underlying loss, thus $0.5 million received for the reimbursement of cleanup costs was disclosed within operating activities while the remaining $2.0 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. |
| (4) | We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $0.4 million during fiscal 2026 related to the impairment of long-lived assets held at two retail design centers. The asset group used in the impairment analysis, which represented the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows were available and largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets, was the individual retail design center. We estimated future cash flows based on design center-level historical results, current trends, and operating and cash flow projections. |
Restructuring payments during fiscal 2026 were $4.0 million, which were primarily for cleanup of damage caused from the Beecher Falls fire, retail lease exit costs, employee severance and other restructuring matters. The restructuring balance at June 30, 2026 was $0.9 million and is anticipated to be paid during fiscal 2027.
| (12) | 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 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 costsin 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 $121.2 million at June 30, 2026 and $121.0 million at June 30, 2025.
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 (NYFRB) 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 June 30, 2026 and 2025 or at any time during fiscal 2026 and 2025. Since we had no outstanding borrowings during fiscal 2026 and 2025, there wasno associated interest expense during fiscal 2026 and 2025.
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 2026 or 2025, 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 June 30, 2026 and 2025, we were in compliance with all the covenants under the Facility.
*Letters of Credit.*At June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were $3.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.
| (13) | Employee Retirement Programs |
The Company established its Ethan Allen Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) in 1994. The 401(k) Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“IRC”). All full-time U.S. employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of employment. Each year, participants may contribute up to 100% of their eligible annual compensation, subject to annual limitations established by the IRC. We may, at our discretion and as the employer, make contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of each eligible participant. All participants shall cliff vest 100% of Company contributions received after three years of service. Total expense incurred by the Company from employer contributions to employee 401(k) accounts during fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, was $1.7 million, $2.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

| Foreign net operating losses | $846 | $3,192 | Fiscal 2040-2046 |
We evaluate our deferred taxes to determine if the “more likely than not” standard of evidence has not been met thereby supporting the need for a valuation allowance. The evaluation of the amount of net deferred tax assets expected to be realized necessarily involves forecasting the amount of taxable income that will be generated in future years. We have forecasted future results using estimates management believes to be reasonable. Our forecasts are based on our best estimate of expected trends resulting from certain leading economic indicators. The realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent on future events. Actual results may vary from management's forecasts. Such variances could result in adjustments to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in future periods, and such adjustments could be material to the consolidated financial statements. A valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that assets will not be realized.

The valuation allowance of $1.4 million is related to certain U.S. state and foreign deferred tax assets. The U.S. state deferred taxes are primarily related to state net operating losses. The foreign deferred taxes are primarily related to net operating losses.
Uncertain Tax Positions
As of June 30, 2026, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $3.8 million related to uncertain tax positions in various jurisdictions.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of these unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):
| Fiscal Year Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Balance at the beginning of the period | $3,923 | $3,888 | $3,000 |
| Additions: | |||
| Positions taken during the current year | 652 | 597 | 891 |
| Positions taken during the prior year | 321 | 352 | 335 |
| Reductions: | |||
| Reductions related to lapse of applicable statute of limitations | (1,054) | (800) | (338) |
| Positions taken during the prior year | - | (114) | - |
| Balance at the end of the period | $3,842 | $3,923 | $3,888 |
We recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. We had $0.7 million and $0.6 million accrued for interest and penalties as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
It is reasonably possible that various issues relating to approximately $1.2 million of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2026 will be resolved within the next twelve months as exams are completed or statutes expire. If recognized, $1.0 million of the total $1.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits would decrease our effective tax rate. The remaining balance will be settled or released as tax audits are effectively settled, statutes of limitation expire, or other new information becomes available.
Our U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2023 and the following subsequent years are still subject to audit. In addition, we conduct business in various states. The major states in which we conduct business are subject to audit for fiscal years 2022 and the following subsequent years. Our foreign operations are subject to audit for fiscal years 2018 and the following subsequent years.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted H.R.1, commonly referred to as the OBBBA. The OBBBA includes a broad range of changes, including 100% initial-year bonus depreciation on qualifying property, as well as the immediate deduction for domestic research and development expenses. The impact of the OBBBA on our income tax expense and related effective tax rate for fiscal 2026 was immaterial.

| (15) | Shareholders’ Equity |
Shares Authorized for Issuance
Our authorized capital stock consists of 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 1,055,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share. The Board of Directors may provide for the issuance of all or any shares of Preferred Stock in one or more classes or series, and to fix for each such class or series such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such distinctive designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of such class or series and as may be permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. At June 30, 2026 and 2025, there wereno shares of Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.
Share Repurchase Program
We repurchased 250,000 shares for $4.8 million during fiscal 2026. There wereno share repurchases under the Company’s existing multi-year share repurchase program during fiscal 2025 or 2024. At June 30, 2026, we had remaining Board authorization to repurchase 1,757,364 shares of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program. There is no expiration date on the repurchase authorization. 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.
In accordance with the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, our fiscal 2026 share repurchases in excess of issuances are subject to a 1% excise tax. The excise tax was recognized as part of the cost basis of shares acquired in the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity for fiscal 2026.
Dividends
We paid four regular quarterly cash dividends and a special cash dividend during fiscal 2026. Total cash dividends paid to shareholders in fiscal 2026 were $1.81 per share and totaled $46.3 million. During fiscal 2025, total cash dividends paid were $50.1 million.

At June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, total stock-based awards of 68,914,46,713 and 26,582, respectively, were excluded from the diluted EPS calculations because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
At June 30, 2026, 2025 and 2024, the number of performance units excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS was 142,187,142,178 and 142,535 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.
| (17) | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss |
Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on investments, net of tax. 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. Our investments at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, consist of U.S. Treasuries with maturities of two years or less. All unrealized gains and losses are included, net of tax, inAccumulated other comprehensive loss, within the consolidated balance sheets. The tax effect of unrealized gains included in accumulated other comprehensive loss was $0.3 million and less than $0.1 million at June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are as follows (in thousands):

| (18) | Stock-Based Compensation |
The Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) provides for the grant of stock-based awards including stock options, restricted stock and stock units. The Plan also provides for the issuance of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) on issued options, however no SARs have been issued to date. All stock-based awards are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors after consideration of the 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 Board of Directors. Under this Plan, the initial aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued through awards of any form was 6,487,867 shares. At June 30, 2026, there were 1,178,976 shares of common stock available for future issuance pursuant to the Plan.
The table below summarizes the total stock-based compensation expense we recognized for all outstanding stock-based awards. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded inSG&A expenses in the consolidated statement of income (in thousands):
| Fiscal Year ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Stock options | $101 | $119 | $94 |
| Restricted stock units | 507 | 603 | 484 |
| Performance stock units | 599 | 805 | 872 |
| Total stock-based compensation expense | $1,207 | $1,527 | $1,450 |
| Tax benefit | $131 | $127 | $131 |
At June 30, 2026, $1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock-based awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. There wasno stock-based compensation capitalized at June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Stock Options
All stock options granted 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. We granted 16,905 stock options at an exercise price of $29.58 to our non-employee directors during fiscal 2026. These options vest inthree annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant so long as the director continues to serve on our Board. There wereno stock option awards granted to employees during fiscal 2026, 2025 or 2024*.*
The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model during each fiscal year are presented below:
| Fiscal Year Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Volatility | 42.3% | 41.7% | 40.5% |
| Risk-free rate of return | 3.76% | 3.72% | 3.98% |
| Dividend yield | 4.93% | 4.93% | 4.70% |
| Expected average life (years) | 5.5 | 5.3 | 5.5 |
| Weighted average grant date fair value | $7.34 | $7.35 | $8.65 |
| Fair value as a % of exercise price | 24.8% | 24.5% | 24.8% |
A summary of stock option activity is presented below.
| Weighted | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weighted · Average | ||||
| Average · Remaining · Aggregate | ||||
| Stock | Exercise | Contractual | Intrinsic Value | |
| Options | Price | Term (yrs) | ($ in thousands) | |
| Outstanding at June 30, 2025 | 107,420 | $25.69 | 5.7 | $431 |
| Granted | 16,905 | $29.58 | ||
| Canceled (forfeited/expired) | (43,545) | $24.80 | ||
| Outstanding at June 30, 2026 | 80,780 | $26.99 | 6.0 | $85 |
| Vested and exercisable at June 30, 2026 | 54,556 | $25.30 | 4.8 | $85 |
There wereno stock options exercised during fiscal 2026. We received proceeds of less than $0.1 million from stock options exercised during fiscal 2025 compared with $0.5 million in proceeds received during fiscal 2024. The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised was less than $0.1 million in fiscal 2025 compared with $0.1 million during fiscal 2024.
At June 30, 2026, $0.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.8 years.
Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)
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 in three equal annual installments on the anniversary of the date of grant. We account for these RSUs as equity-based awards because when they vest, they will be settled in shares of our common stock. The grant date fair value of RSUs is measured by reducing the grant date price of the Company's common stock by the present value of the dividends expected to be paid on the underlying stock during the requisite service period, discounted at the appropriate risk-free interest rate.
A summary of RSU activity is presented below.
| Weighted Average | ||
|---|---|---|
| Restricted | Grant Date | |
| Stock Units | Fair Value | |
| Unvested and outstanding at June 30, 2025 | 46,263 | $24.02 |
| Granted | 20,789 | $23.69 |
| Vested | (26,862) | $23.04 |
| Unvested and outstanding at June 30, 2026 | 40,190 | $24.51 |
The weighted average grant date fair value of RSUs awarded in fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024 were $23.69, $24.04, and $28.58 per share, respectively. At June 30, 2026, $0.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.7 years.
Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”)
Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is authorized to award common shares to certain employees based on the attainment of certain financial goals over a given performance period. The awards are offered at no cost to the employees. In the event of an employee's termination during the performance period, the right to earn shares under this program is forfeited.
During fiscal 2026, we granted 88,526 PSUs, and we also have PSU awards outstanding from grants in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024. Payout of these grants 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.
The following table summarizes PSU activity at the maximum award amounts:
| Weighted Average | ||
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Grant Date | |
| Stock Units | Fair Value | |
| Outstanding at June 30, 2025 | 337,006 | $24.05 |
| Granted | 88,526 | $22.77 |
| Vested | (50,479) | $19.08 |
| Canceled (forfeited) | (63,455) | $27.64 |
| Outstanding at June 30, 2026 | 311,598 | $23.76 |
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.
The following table presents the fair value of PSUs granted for each of the past three fiscal years:
| Fiscal Year Ended June 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Vesting based on: | 2026 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Performance goals(1) | $22.31 | $22.52 | $27.20 |
| Market conditions(2) | $24.83 | $25.49 | $29.21 |
| (1) | Represents the market value of our common shares on the date we granted the awards less the dividends we expect to pay before the shares vest |
| (2) | Based on the Monte Carlo valuation model |
At June 30, 2026, $0.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested PSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.6 years.

| (19) | Segment Information |
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 (the “CODM”) who is our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the operating results and performance of the business.
*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.
*Retail Segment.*The retail segment sells home furnishings and accents to clients through 141 Company-operated design centers. Ethan Allen design centers are typically located in retail settings as freestanding destinations or as part of town centers, lifestyle centers, and suburban shopping malls, and average approximately 13,700 square feet in size. The geographic distribution of our retail design center locations is disclosed under Item 2,*Properties,*contained in Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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 revenue from independent third-party transactions.
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. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 3,Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
The following tables present net sales and operating income by segment (in thousands):

| (20) | Commitments and Contingencies |
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). 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. The effect of our commitments, including contractual obligations, on our liquidity and capital resources in future periods should be considered in conjunction with the factors mentioned here.
Lease Commitments
We enter into operating and financing leases in the normal course of business. Most lease arrangements provide us with the option to renew the leases at defined terms. Refer to Note 6,*Leases,*for further lease details.
Purchase Commitments with Suppliers
Purchase obligations are defined as agreements that are enforceable and legally binding that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. We do, in the normal course of business, initiate purchase orders for the procurement of selected finished goods sourced from third-party suppliers, lumber, fabric, leather and other raw materials used in our manufacturing. All purchase orders are based on current needs and are fulfilled by suppliers. Our open purchase orders with respect to such goods were $22.5 million at June 30, 2026 and are expected to be received and paid for in the next 12 months.
Other Purchase Commitments
Other purchase commitments represent future contractual obligations due for services such as software, web development, finance and accounting services, insurance, telecommunication and other maintenance contracts. These commitments are generally payable within one to two years and totaled $19.5 million at June 30, 2026.
Legal Matters
We are routinely party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including investigations or as a defendant in litigation. Such legal proceedings may include claims related to our employment practices; wage and hour claims; claims of intellectual property infringement, including with respect to patents; and consumer action claims relating to our consumer products and practices. In addition, from time to time, we are subject to actions commenced by third-parties such as product liability claims for products we manufacture and sell, personal injury claims and allegations that properties we operate do not comply with legally required access requirements for persons with disabilities. We could also face a wide variety of employee claims against us, including general discrimination, privacy, labor and employment, fiduciary and disability claims. We are also subject to various federal, state and local environmental protection laws and regulations and are involved, from time to time, in investigations and proceedings regarding environmental matters. Such environmental investigations and proceedings typically concern air emissions, water discharges, and/or management of solid and hazardous wastes. We believe that our facilities are in material compliance with all such applicable laws and regulations.
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 June 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.
Indemnifications
As permitted or required under Delaware law and to the maximum extent allowable under that law, the Company has certain obligations to indemnify its current and former officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was serving, at our request in such capacity. These indemnification obligations are valid as long as the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The maximum potential amount of future payments Ethan Allen could be required to make under these indemnification obligations is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that it believes mitigates our exposure and may enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
