NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

 

 

(1)

Organization and Nature of Business

 

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

 

Ethan Allen design centers represent a mix of locations operated by independent licensees and Company-operated locations. At December 31, 2024, there were 141 Company-operated retail design centers with 137 located in the U.S. and 4 in Canada. We also have 46 independently owned and operated Ethan Allen design centers located in the U.S., Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

 

We manufacture approximately 75% of our furniture in our North American manufacturing plants and have been recognized for product quality and craftsmanship since we were founded in 1932. At December 31, 2024 we own and operate eleven manufacturing facilities, including four manufacturing plants, one sawmill, one rough mill and one kiln dry lumberyard in the U.S., three manufacturing plants in Mexico and one manufacturing plant in Honduras.

Interim Basis of Presentation

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

The interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on a basis consistent with those reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) but do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We derived the June 30, 2024 consolidated balance sheet from our audited financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for fair presentation, have been included in the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with 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 statements of cash flows and within Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, we held $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of restricted cash related to our 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.

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 2025 

 

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. This accounting standard will be effective for our fiscal 2025 Form 10-K on a retrospective basis and subsequent interim periods starting in fiscal 2026. We do not anticipate the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

 

Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective

 

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 ASU will be effective for our annual financial statements starting in fiscal 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 income tax disclosures.

 

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

 

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective as of December 31, 2024 have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Returns and Allowances. Estimated refunds for returns and allowances are based on our historical return patterns. We record these estimated sales refunds on a gross basis rather than on a net basis and have recorded an asset for product we expect to receive back from customers in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and a corresponding refund liability in Other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, these amounts were immaterial.

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

  

Allowance for Credit Losses. Accounts receivable arise from the sale of products on trade credit terms and presented net of our allowances for credit losses. We maintain an allowance for estimated credit losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance is based on a review of specifically identified accounts in addition to an overall aging analysis. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses was immaterial.

 

Commissions. We capitalize commission fees paid to our employees as contract assets within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. These prepaid commissions are subsequently recognized as a selling expense upon delivery (when we have transferred control of our product to our customer). At December 31, 2024, we had prepaid commissions of $11.2 million, which we expect to recognize to selling expense during the remainder of fiscal 2025 as SG&A expenses within our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Prepaid commissions totaled $11.5 million at June 30, 2024.

 

Customer Deposits. We collect deposits from customers on a portion of the total purchase price at the time a written order is placed, but before we have transferred control of our product to our customers, resulting in contract liabilities. These customer deposits are reported as a current liability in Customer deposits on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2024, we had customer deposits of $70.8 million. At June 30, 2024, we had customer deposits of $73.5 million, of which we recognized $69.1 million of revenue related to our contract liabilities during the six months ended December 31, 2024. Revenue recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2023, which was previously included in Customer deposits as of June 30, 2023, was $71.9 million. Revenue recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2024, which was previously included in Customer deposits as of September 30, 2024, was $13.9 million, compared to $17.7 million of revenue recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2023. We expect that substantially all of the customer deposits at December 31, 2024 will be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Fair Value Measurements

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Level 2 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, we have categorized our investments as Level 2 assets. 

 

Level 3 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We held no Level 3 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2024 or June 30, 2024.

 

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, 2024 and June 30, 2024. There were no transfers between levels of fair value measurements during the periods presented.

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 2025 or 2024.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value for Disclosure Purposes Only. We had no outstanding bank borrowings at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024. We have historically categorized our outstanding bank borrowings as a Level 2 liability.

 

 

(6)

Leases

 

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

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.

 

 

(2)

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and instead expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

 

(3)

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

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Our goodwill and intangible assets are comprised of goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, and our Ethan Allen trade name and related trademarks. Both goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized as they are estimated to have an indefinite life. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, 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 2024 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 September 2024, an Ethan Allen distribution center located in Old Fort, North Carolina was impacted from significant flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. The distribution center, which primarily focuses on shipping custom-made home furnishings to select wholesale customers, suffered losses related to damaged inventory, impaired equipment, a temporary work stoppage and a disruption in shipments. Total losses incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2025 were $0.1 million, net of insurance recoveries.

In July 2023, our wood furniture manufacturing operations located in Orleans, Vermont sustained damage from flooding of the nearby Barton River. In addition to losses related to wood furniture inventory parts and state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, the flooding also resulted in a temporary work stoppage for many Vermont employees and a disruption and delay of shipments. Total losses incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2024 were $2.3 million, net of insurance recoveries and grant proceeds.

 

(3)

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 which resulted in a deferred gain of $5.2 million to be amortized over the term of the operating lease agreement which expired on July 31, 2024.

 

Restructuring payments made by the Company during the six months ended December 31, 2024 were $0.4 million, which were primarily for severance. The restructuring balance at December 31, 2024 was $0.3 million and is anticipated to be paid during the remainder of fiscal 2025.

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 within Interest and other financing costs in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the remaining life of the Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.

 

Availability. The availability of credit at any given time under the Facility will be constrained by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, including the amount of collateral available, a borrowing base formula based upon numerous factors including the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable, and other restrictions contained in the Facility. All obligations under the Facility are secured by assets of the Loan Parties including inventory, receivables and certain types of intellectual property. Total borrowing base availability under the Facility was $121.0 million at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024.

 

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 had no outstanding borrowings under the Facility at December 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, or at any time during fiscal 2025 and 2024. Since we had no outstanding borrowings during fiscal 2025 and 2024, there was no 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 2025 or 2024, did the unused availability under the Facility fall below $14.0 million, thus the Fixed-Charge Coverage Ratio (FCCR) Covenant did not apply. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all the covenants under the Facility.

 

Letters of Credit. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, there was $4.0 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Facility, respectively.

Income Taxes

 

The Company's process for determining the provision for income taxes involves using an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on forecasted annual income and statutory tax rates across the various jurisdictions in which we operate. We recorded a provision for income tax expense of $5.1 million and $10.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 compared with $5.9 million and $11.1 million in the prior year comparable periods. Our consolidated effective tax rate was 25.4% for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 compared with 25.5% for both 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. At December 31, 2024, we had $4.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits compared with $3.9 million at June 30, 2024. It is reasonably possible that various issues relating to $0.9 million of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024 will be resolved within the next 12 months as exams are completed or statutes expire. If recognized, $0.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits would reduce our income tax expense in the period realized.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

 

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on our investments. Foreign currency translation adjustments are the result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our operations in Canada, Honduras and Mexico. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the current period-end exchange rate and income and expense amounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period in which the transaction occurred. All unrealized gains and losses on investments are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss within our consolidated balance sheets.

Share-Based Compensation

 

We recognized total share-based compensation expense of $0.8 million and $0.7 million during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts have been included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income within SG&A expenses. At December 31, 2024, $2.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested equity awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years. There was no share-based compensation capitalized during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

At December 31, 2024, there were 1,142,853 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 Plan also provides for the issuance of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) on issued options; however, no SARs have been issued to date. All share-based awards are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors after consideration of recommendations proposed by the Chief Executive Officer. 

 

Stock Option Activity

 

Employee Stock Option Grants. There were no stock option awards granted to employees during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Non-Employee Stock Option Grants. The Plan also provides for the grant of share-based awards to non-employee directors of the Company. During the first six months of fiscal 2025, we granted 16,650 stock options at an exercise price of $30.03 to our non-employee directors. In the prior year period, we granted 14,330 stock options at an exercise price of $34.89. These stock options vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant so long as the director continues to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors. All options granted to directors have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and remain exercisable for a period of up to ten years, subject to continuous service on our Board of Directors. At December 31, 2024, $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested non-employee stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.0 years.

 

A total of 116,411 stock options were outstanding at December 31, 2024, with a weighted average exercise price of $25.73 and a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.64.

 

Restricted Stock Unit Activity

 

During the first six months of fiscal 2025, we granted 23,399 non-performance based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), with a weighted average grant date fair value of $24.04. 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. In the prior year period, we granted 17,232 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $28.58 and vest in three equal annual installments on the anniversary date of the grant.

 

15

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

  

During the first six months of fiscal 2025, 20,282 RSUs vested and 3,162 were forfeited, leaving 46,263 RSUs unvested and outstanding at December 31, 2024, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $24.02. At December 31, 2024, $0.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.9 years.

 

Performance Stock Unit Activity

 

Payout of performance stock units (“PSUs”) 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 2025, we granted 92,669 PSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $23.06 compared with 73,095 PSUs at a weighted average grant date fair value of $27.58 in the prior year. 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 2025, 68,250 PSUs vested and 5,237 were forfeited, leaving 385,023 PSUs unvested and outstanding at December 31, 2024, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $23.34. Unrecognized compensation expense at December 31, 2024, related to PSUs, was $1.5 million based on the current estimates of the number of awards that will vest, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.1 years.

Segment Information

 

Ethan Allen conducts business globally and has strategically aligned its business into two reportable segments: Wholesale and Retail. These two segments represent strategic business areas of our vertically integrated enterprise that operate separately and provide their own distinctive services. Our operating segments are aligned with how the Company, including our chief operating decision maker, manages the business. We evaluate performance of our 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 our 141 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 and Contingencies

 

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

 

Material Cash Requirements from Contractual Obligations. As disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we had total contractual obligations of $197.9 million, including $151.3 million related to our operating lease commitments and $30.7 million of open purchase orders at June 30, 2024. Except for $17.3 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 2025, there were no other material changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, in our contractual obligations as previously disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Legal Matters. We are routinely party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including investigations or as a defendant in litigation. On a quarterly basis, we review our litigation activities and determine if an unfavorable outcome to us is considered “remote,” “reasonably possible” or “probable” as defined by ASC 450, Contingencies. Where we determine an unfavorable outcome is probable and is reasonably estimable, we accrue for potential litigation losses. Although the outcome of the various claims and proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that, based on information available at December 31, 2024, 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.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

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

 

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that are expected. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements due to a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to the following: declines in certain economic conditions, which impact consumer confidence and spending; financial or operational difficulties due to competition in the residential home furnishings industry; a significant shift in consumer preference toward purchasing products online; inability to maintain and enhance the Ethan Allen brand; failure to successfully anticipate or respond to changes in consumer tastes and trends in a timely manner; inability to maintain current design center locations at current costs; failure to select and secure appropriate retail locations; disruptions in the supply chain and supply chain management; fluctuations in the price, availability and quality of raw materials and imported finished goods resulting in increased costs and production delays; competition from overseas manufacturers and domestic retailers; the number of manufacturing and distribution sites may increase exposure to business disruptions and could result in higher transportation costs; current and former manufacturing and retail operations and products are subject to increasingly stringent environmental, health and safety requirements; product recalls or product safety concerns; significant increased costs or potential liabilities as a result of environmental laws and regulations aimed at combating climate change; risk to reputation and stock price related to future disclosures on Environmental, Social and Governance matters; extensive reliance on information technology systems to process transactions, summarize results, and manage the business and that of certain independent retailers; disruptions in both primary and back-up systems; cyber-attacks and the failure to maintain adequate cyber-security systems and procedures; loss, corruption and misappropriation of data and information relating to customers; global and local economic uncertainty may materially adversely affect manufacturing operations or sources of merchandise and international operations; changes in U.S. trade and tax policies; reliance on certain key personnel, loss of key personnel or inability to hire additional qualified personnel; a shortage of qualified labor within our operations and our supply chain; potential future asset impairment charges resulting from changes to estimates or projections used to assess assets’ fair value, financial results that are lower than current estimates or determinations to close underperforming locations; access to consumer credit could be interrupted as a result of external conditions; risks associated with self-insurance related to health benefits; failure to protect the Company’s intellectual property; hazards and risks which may not be fully covered by insurance; and other factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and elsewhere here in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Executive Overview

 

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

 

Ethan Allen design centers represent a mix of locations operated by independent licensees and Company-operated locations. At December 31, 2024, the Company operates 141 retail design centers, 137 located in the U.S. and 4 in Canada. We also have 46 independently owned and operated Ethan Allen design centers located in the U.S., Asia, the Middle East and Europe. We manufacture approximately 75% of our furniture in our North American manufacturing plants and have been recognized for product quality and craftsmanship since 1932. At December 31, 2024, we own and operate eleven manufacturing facilities, including four manufacturing plants, one sawmill, one rough mill and a kiln dry lumberyard in the U.S., three manufacturing plants in Mexico and one manufacturing plant in Honduras. We also partner with suppliers located in the U.S., Europe and Asia to produce and import various products that support our business.

 

Business Model. Our vertical integration is a competitive advantage for us. Our North American manufacturing and logistics operations are an integral part of an overall strategy to maximize production efficiencies and maintain this competitive advantage. We strive to deliver value to our shareholders through the execution of our strategic initiatives focused on the concept of constant reinvention.  Ethan Allen has a distinct vision of classic American style with a modern perspective, which we believe differentiates us from our competitors. Our business model is to maintain continued focus on (i) providing relevant product offerings, (ii) capitalizing on the professional and personal service offered to our clients by our interior design professionals, (iii) leveraging the benefits of our vertical integration including a strong manufacturing presence in North America, (iv) regularly investing in new technologies across all aspects of our vertically integrated business, (v) maintaining a strong logistics network, (vi) communicating our messages with strong marketing campaigns, and (vii) utilizing our website, ethanallen.com, as a key marketing tool to drive traffic to our retail design centers. We aim to position Ethan Allen as a premier interior design destination and a preferred brand offering products of superior style, quality, and value to clients with a comprehensive solution for their home furnishing and interior design needs. We operate our business with an entrepreneurial attitude and treat our employees, vendors, and clients with dignity and respect.

 

Talent. At December 31, 2024, our employee count totaled 3,318, with 2,330 in our wholesale segment and 988 in our retail segment. We continue to invest in technology, which helped further streamline and automate processes. By leveraging technology and identifying workflow efficiencies, we have reduced our headcount by 6.9% in the last 12 months and by 27.0% since 2019.

Fiscal 2025 Second Quarter in Review (1). In December 2024, we held our 2024 International Convention live at our headquarters and livestreamed across the world. With the theme of Focused on the Future, the program honored Ethan Allen’s 92-year history, reviewed current and future initiatives in manufacturing, logistics, technology, marketing and retail, and celebrated interior designers both for achievement in written sales and design excellence. Our annual convention is an important, decades-long tradition that gives associates the opportunity to reconnect with colleagues from all over the world while hearing about the progress the Company has made over the past year. We take pride in sharing this special event with all associates in attendance, both watching and participating each year.

 

Our fiscal 2025 second quarter was highlighted by strong demand, margins and operating cash flow despite lower sales and operating in a period marked with political and economic uncertainty. We ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and investments of $184.2 million and no outstanding debt. Continuing our history of returning capital to shareholders, we paid a regular quarterly cash dividend of $10.0 million or $0.39 per share. Cash provided by operating activities was $11.6 million compared with $13.6 million a year ago. Consolidated net sales declined 6.0% to $157.3 million primarily due to a decrease in delivered unit volume, lower starting backlog, fewer contract sales and reduced designer floor sample sales, which was partially offset by higher average retail ticket price and lower returns. Wholesale and Retail written order growth of 14.3% and 15.8%, respectively, reflected significant improvements over the prior year and helped grow our wholesale backlog by 5.0% to $57.7 million at December 31, 2024. We maintained a strong consolidated gross margin of 60.3% due to lower raw material costs, reduced headcount, a price increase and a favorable sales mix partially offset by elevated freight and financing costs. Our double-digit operating margin of 11.5% reflected our ability to tightly manage expenses. Diluted EPS was $0.59 compared with $0.68 a year ago. We ended the quarter with 187 Ethan Allen retail design centers, including 141 Company-operated and 46 independently owned and operated locations.

Net Sales

 

Consolidated net sales decreased $10.0 million or 6.0% and $19.6 million or 5.9% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared with the same prior year periods. The decrease during the second quarter was driven by a decline in delivered unit volume, lower starting backlog, fewer contract sales and reduced designer floor sample sales partially offset by higher average retail ticket price and lower returns. The first six months of fiscal 2025 were impacted by reduced production from lower demand levels and less design center traffic, which sequentially improved in the back half of the second quarter, combined with fewer contract sales and a decline in delivered unit volume from lower backlog at the beginning of the year.

 

Wholesale net sales decreased $3.8 million or 4.2% and $17.2 million or 9.0% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared with the same prior year periods. The decrease during the second quarter was driven by lower contract sales and sales to our independent dealers partially offset by an increase in intersegment sales to our Company-operated design centers and an increase in price per unit shipped. The first six months of fiscal 2025 were impacted by the decrease in contract sales, including the temporary disruption caused by Hurricane Helene in September 2024 to our North Carolina distribution center, which led to lower shipments to the U.S. government General Services Administration (“GSA”). The combination of a slowdown in U.S. government spending, global unrest and the national election resulted in lower incoming GSA orders, which led to lower available backlog and fewer contract sales during the three and six months ended December 31, 2024. Restoration efforts completed during the just completed second quarter have helped our North Carolina distribution center to resume normal shipping and receiving capacity, which we believe will help reduce our backlog and improve contract sales.

 

Wholesale written orders, which represent orders booked through all of our channels, were up 14.3% and 3.0% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. Orders from our intersegment Company-operated design centers and orders from our independent U.S. retail network increased while our contract orders and orders from our international retailers were down year over year. International sales represented 1.4% of total wholesale net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 2.0% in the prior year quarter. For the first half of fiscal 2025, international sales were 1.6% of total wholesale net sales compared to 1.9% a year ago.

 

Wholesale backlog was $57.7 million at December 31, 2024, up 5.0% from a year ago and $4.1 million higher than at June 30, 2024 due to the 3.0% increase in written orders during the first half of fiscal 2025. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, our wholesale backlog declined by $6.3 million primarily due to timing of incoming GSA orders, which are at their highest in our fiscal first quarter and at their lowest every fiscal second quarter based on the U.S. government’s fiscal year-end. The number of weeks of wholesale backlog at December 31, 2024 was comparable to last year.

 

Retail net sales decreased $4.9 million or 3.5% and $5.8 million or 2.1% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared with the same prior year periods. The decrease during the second quarter is being driven by lower delivered unit volumes from a lower available backlog at the start of the quarter, decreased designer floor sample sales and lower premier home delivery revenue partially offset by a higher average ticket price and fewer sales returns. The first six months of fiscal 2025 were impacted by reduced production from lower demand and less design center traffic combined with a lower available backlog at the beginning of the year.

 

21

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Retail written orders for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 increased 15.8% and 3.6%, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods due to increased promotional activity including higher discounts and stronger financing programs, a more engaged customer, higher e-commerce business and increased designer home calls combined with elevated interest in the home post the U.S. elections held in November. We believe the strong value proposition of our current assortment along with the addition of several new products being introduced complement the wide array of custom home furnishings Ethan Allen has to offer.

 

There were 141 Company-operated design centers at both December 31, 2024 and 2023. During the just completed second quarter we relocated a design center in Watchung, NJ and have plans to open a new design center in Middleton, WI in January 2025.

 

Gross Profit and Margin

 

Consolidated gross profit decreased $5.8 million or 5.8% and $12.1 million or 6.0% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared with the same prior year periods. The decrease during the second quarter was driven by a decline in sales, elevated inbound freight and higher financing costs from increased usage of our platinum card. These decreases were partially offset by a change in the sales mix with a higher percentage of our total sales coming from the retail segment, lower raw material and fuel input costs, fewer designer floor sample sales that carry a lower average margin and an increase in average ticket price. Wholesale gross profit for the quarter decreased 6.5% due to the 4.2% decline in sales and an 80 basis point reduction in gross margin. Retail gross profit decreased 2.7% due to the 3.5% decrease in net sales partially offset by a 40 basis point improvement in gross margin. The first six months of fiscal 2025 saw consolidated gross profit decline by 6.0% due to the 5.9% decline in consolidated net sales and higher financing costs partially offset by a favorable sales mix, lower manufacturing input costs, an increase in average ticket price, lower designer floor sample sales and the ability to leverage investments in technology to reduce headcount.

 

Consolidated gross margin was 60.3% and 60.6% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024. We increased our fiscal 2025 second quarter consolidated gross margin by 10 basis points over the prior year period due to a favorable sales mix, selective price increases, reduced headcount, lower manufacturing input costs, fewer designer floor sample sales and a higher retail average ticket price partially offset by deleveraging from lower delivered sales and higher inbound freight and financing costs. Our sales mix, which represents the percentage of retail sales compared to total consolidated sales, increased to 85.4% in the current year second quarter, up from 83.2% in the prior year, which positively impacted our consolidated gross margin. Wholesale gross margin for the second quarter was down 80 basis points over the prior year period due to reduced manufacturing volumes, which led to increased variances, and lower contract sales partially offset by reduced headcount and lower raw material and fuel input costs. Retail gross margin improved 40 basis points compared with the prior year period due to a higher average ticket price, a change in product mix and a decline in sales of designer floor samples partially offset by higher financing costs. For the first six months of fiscal 2025 we maintained a strong consolidated gross margin of 60.6%, the same as a year ago, despite lower sales volumes driven mostly by lower input costs, reduced headcount, a favorable sales mix, selective price increases, a higher average ticket price and a decline in sales of designer floor samples partially offset by higher financing costs.

SG&A expenses decreased $2.5 million or 3.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared with the same prior year period due to lower selling expenses from lower delivered net sales and a reduction in general and administrative costs. When expressed as a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses for the quarter were 48.8%, an uptick from 47.3% in the prior year second quarter primarily due to fixed cost deleveraging from lower delivered sales. SG&A expenses were down 3.2% while consolidated net sales decreased at the faster rate of 6.0%, which led to the decrease in our operating leverage.

Consolidated selling expenses were down 5.5% during the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Wholesale selling expenses, which includes our logistics operation, decreased 4.2% primarily from a lower volume of units shipped and fewer outgoing distribution expenses including lower fuel costs and headcount partially offset by increased advertising, 3D and web-technology spend. Retail selling expenses were down 5.9% during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 due to reduced delivery costs from lower delivered revenue, less headcount and lower designer variable compensation. Our consolidated advertising expenses during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 increased by 14.9% compared to the prior year due to increased direct mail and digital media campaigns and represented 2.5% of net sales, up from 2.0% a year ago. Consolidated general and administrative expenses in the second quarter were consistent with a year ago as increases in annual incentive compensation, occupancy costs and higher corporate technology support services were offset by lower employee benefit costs, including group insurance and workers compensation expense, and prior year costs associated with the design center projection refreshes.

 

SG&A expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2024 decreased $6.7 million or 4.2% due to lower selling expenses from reduced sales. Consolidated selling expenses were down 6.7% while general and administrative costs decreased 0.8%. When expressed as a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses were 49.0% compared to 48.2% in the prior year period, an increase of 80 basis points driven by lower sales volume relative to fixed costs. SG&A expenses were down 4.2% while consolidated net sales decreased at a rate of 5.9%. Wholesale selling expenses in the first half of fiscal 2025 decreased 11.3% primarily from a lower volume of units shipped and fewer outgoing distribution expenses partially offset by higher advertising costs. Retail selling expenses were down 5.2% during the first half of fiscal 2025 due to reduced delivery costs from lower delivered revenue, less headcount and lower designer variable compensation. Consolidated general and administrative expenses decreased 0.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to lower employee benefit costs and elevated prior year design center refresh costs.

 

Compared to a year ago, our consolidated headcount is down 6.9% (including 189 wholesale employees and 57 retail employees) at December 31, 2024, as we continue to identify operational efficiencies and leverage the use of technology to streamline workflows throughout our vertically integrated enterprise.

 

Restructuring and other charges, net of gains

 

Restructuring and other charges, net of gains for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was less than $0.1 million. The prior year second quarter included a gain of $0.7 million from the amortization of a deferred liability generated from the sale-leaseback transaction completed on August 1, 2022, partially offset by $0.3 million of additional repairs and maintenance costs incurred in relation to the July 2023 Vermont flood and $0.2 million of severance.

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2024, we recorded $0.2 million in restructuring charges for severance and losses incurred from the impact of Hurricane Helene during September 2024. The prior year to date charge of $1.3 million related to $2.3 million in net losses from the Vermont flood partially offset by a $1.3 million gain from the amortization of the deferred liability generated from the sale-leaseback transaction.

 

Consolidated Operating Income

 

Consolidated operating income of $18.2 million and $35.7 million decreased by $3.5 million or 16.3% and $4.3 million or 10.8% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. As a percentage of net sales, consolidated operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was 11.5%, compared to 13.0% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating income, which excludes restructuring and other charges, net of gains, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $18.2 million, or 11.5% of net sales compared with $21.5 million, or 12.8% of net sales in the prior year quarter. For the first six months of fiscal 2025 adjusted operating income was $36.0 million, or 11.5% of net sales compared with $41.3 million, or 12.5% of net sales in the prior year period. The decreases in operating income for the three and six month periods were primarily driven by lower consolidated net sales partially offset by lower SG&A expenses and gross margin preservation. We remain focused on a disciplined approach to cost savings and expense control in a declining net sales environment, which helped mitigate the impact of reduced consolidated net sales.

 

Wholesale operating income was $9.6 million and $21.5 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared with $10.8 million and $25.2 million for the same prior year periods. As a percentage of net sales, wholesale operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was 11.1%, compared to 11.9% in the prior year quarter. Adjusted wholesale operating income, which excludes restructuring and other charges, net of gains, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $9.6 million or 11.1% of net sales compared with $11.1 million or 12.3% of net sales in the prior year quarter. For the first six months of fiscal 2025 wholesale operating income was $21.5 million, or 12.4% of net sales compared with $25.2 million, or 13.3% of net sales in the prior year period. The decreases in wholesale operating income for the three and six month periods were driven by the decline in wholesale net sales and gross margin reductions partially offset by decreases in wholesale SG&A expenses.

Retail operating income was $6.7 million and $14.1 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared with $7.0 million and $12.1 million for the same prior year periods. As a percentage of net sales, retail operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was 5.0%, the same as the prior year quarter. Adjusted retail operating income, which excludes restructuring and other charges, net of gains, for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $6.7 million or 5.0% of net sales compared with $6.4 million or 4.6% of net sales in the prior year quarter. The increase in adjusted retail operating income was driven by the 40 basis point gross margin improvement and 3.4% decrease in retail SG&A expenses. For the first six months of fiscal 2025 retail operating income was $14.1 million, or 5.3% of net sales compared with $12.1 million, or 4.4% of net sales in the prior year period. The increase in retail operating income during the first half of fiscal 2025 was driven primarily by gross margin improvement and the decline in retail SG&A expenses partially offset by a decline in retail net sales.

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense was $5.1 million and $10.1 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared with $5.9 million and $11.1 million in same prior year periods, due to the decrease in income before income taxes and a slightly lower consolidated effective tax.

 

Net Income

 

Net income was $15.0 million and $29.7 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared with $17.4 million and $32.4 million in the same prior year periods, down 13.8% and 8.1% from the same prior year periods. Adjusted net income, which removes the after-tax impact of restructuring and other charges, net of gains was $15.0 million and $29.9 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, down 12.9% and 10.2% from the same prior year periods. The declines in net income for the three and six month periods were driven by the decrease in consolidated net sales partially offset by lower SG&A expenses and gross margin preservation.

 

Diluted EPS

 

Diluted EPS was $0.59 and $1.16 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared to $0.68 and $1.26 in the same prior year periods. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.59 and $1.17 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, compared to $0.67 and $1.30 in the same prior year periods. The decrease in diluted EPS was due to lower consolidated net sales partially offset by lower SG&A expenses and gross margin preservation.

 

Regulation G Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

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

 

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

Our non-U.S. subsidiaries held $3.5 million in cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024, which we have determined to be indefinitely reinvested.

 

Summary of Cash Flows

 

At December 31, 2024, we held cash and cash equivalents of $57.1 million compared with $69.7 million at June 30, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents aggregated to 7.8% of our total assets at December 31, 2024 compared with 9.4% at June 30, 2024. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, we had aggregated investments of $127.1 million at December 31, 2024 compared with $126.1 million at June 30, 2024. Our investments are U.S. Treasury bills and notes, which we expect will further enhance our returns on excess cash. Our short-term U.S. Treasury bills totaled $82.0 million with maturities of less than one year while our long-term U.S. Treasury notes totaled $45.1 million with maturities ranging between one and two years. We believe our cash, cash equivalents and investments are available to meet short-term liquidity needs.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents decreased $12.6 million or 18.1% during the first six months of fiscal 2025 due to $30.1 million in cash dividends paid, capital expenditures of $7.4 million and $2.2 million in taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards partially offset by net cash provided by operating activities of $26.7 million.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

 

Our cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2025 was primarily attributable to net income, adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by changes in working capital. We generated $26.7 million in cash from operating activities during the first six months of fiscal 2025 compared with $30.3 million in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily the result of changes in working capital coupled with lower net income. Changes in working capital reflect a smaller reduction of inventory relative to the prior year combined with timing of software and insurance renewal payments. Fiscal 2025 working capital was impacted by optimizing inventory levels to current demand conditions, lower available backlog to start the year, changes in operating lease assets and liabilities, and the timing of other payments and cash receipts. Restructuring payments during the first half of fiscal 2025 were $0.4 million compared to $1.2 million in the prior year period.

 

Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities was $6.3 million during the first half of fiscal 2025 compared with of $4.4 million in the prior year. During fiscal 2025, we had $1.1 million of net sales of investments, which related to $36.3 million of U.S. treasuries that matured and were subsequently reinvested for $35.2 million. In the prior year, we had $0.8 million of net proceeds from the sale of investments, which related to $40.8 million of U.S. treasuries that matured during the year and the subsequent reinvestment of $40.0 million. Capital expenditures during the first half of fiscal 2025 were $7.4 million, up from $5.2 million in the prior year period as we further expanded our manufacturing facilities in Mexico, remodeled our hotel, invested in new manufacturing equipment and technology and built-out new or relocated retail design centers.

 

Cash Used in Financing Activities

 

Cash used in financing activities was $32.5 million in the current year, a decrease from $33.2 million in the prior year period due to the decrease in the special cash dividend paid, which went from $0.50 per share last year to $0.40 in the current year. This decrease was partially offset by an 8.3% increase in our regular quarterly dividend, which rose from $0.36 to $0.39 per share, effective May 2024. In addition, during the first half of fiscal 2025, a total of 70,495 shares valued at $2.2 million were repurchased from employees to satisfy their withholding tax obligations upon vesting of RSUs and PSUs. This compared to $2.1 million repurchased for similar withholding tax obligations in the prior year period.

 

Restricted Cash

 

We present restricted cash as a component of total cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated statements of cash flows and within Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, we held $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of restricted cash related to our insurance captive.

 

Exchange Rate Changes

 

Due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, namely the Mexican Peso and Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.4 million during the first half of fiscal 2025 compared with an increase of $0.1 million in the prior year period. These changes had an immaterial impact on our cash balances held in Canada, Mexico and Honduras.

 

Capital Resources, including Material Cash Requirements

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

Capital Needs. On January 26, 2022, we entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and syndication agent and Capital One, National Association, as documentation agent. The Credit Agreement amended and restated the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 21, 2018, as amended. The Credit Agreement provides for a $125 million revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), subject to borrowing base availability, with a maturity date of January 26, 2027. The Credit Agreement also provides us with an option to increase the size of the Facility up to an additional amount of $60 million. Availability under the Facility fluctuates according to a borrowing base calculated on eligible accounts receivable and inventory, net of customer deposits and reserves. The Facility includes covenants that apply under certain circumstances, including a fixed-charge coverage ratio requirement that applies when excess availability under the credit line is less than certain thresholds. At December 31, 2024, we were not subject to the fixed-charge coverage ratio requirement, had no borrowings outstanding under the Facility, were in compliance with all other covenants and had borrowing availability of $121.0 million of the $125.0 million credit commitment. We incurred financing costs of $0.5 million during fiscal 2022, which are being amortized as interest expense over the remaining life of the Facility using the effective interest method.

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Letters of Credit. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively, there were $4.0 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Facility.

 

Uses of Liquidity

 

Capital Expenditures. Capital expenditures during the first half of fiscal 2025 totaled $7.4 million compared with $5.2 million in the prior year period. Current year capital expenditures related primarily to the further expansion of our manufacturing facilities in Mexico, retail design center relocations and improvements, investments in technology, and remodeling costs associated with our hotel. During the first half of fiscal 2025, we further strengthened our vertically integrated enterprise through the purchase of certain property, plant and equipment for $1.6 million, which increased our manufacturing operations in Silao, Mexico. New and relocated state-of-the-art design centers in Watchung, NJ and Peoria, AZ, were opened during fiscal 2025 that showcase our unique style while combining complimentary interior design services with technology.

 

We have no material contractual commitments outstanding for future capital expenditures and anticipate that cash from operations will be sufficient to fund future capital expenditures.

 

Dividends. Our Board of Directors has sole authority to determine if and when we will declare future dividends and on what terms. We have a strong history of returning capital to shareholders and continued this practice during fiscal 2025 by paying a special dividend of $0.40 per share in addition to our regular quarterly dividends of $0.39 per share. During the first six months of fiscal 2025, we paid total cash dividends of $30.1 million. We have paid a special cash dividend each of the past five years and paid an annual cash dividend every year since 1996. Although we expect to continue to declare and pay quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future, the payment of future cash dividends is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, operations, financial condition, capital requirements and general business outlook, among other factors. Our credit agreement also includes covenants that set limitations on our ability to pay dividends.

 

Share Repurchase Program. There were no share repurchases under our existing multi-year share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) during the first half of fiscal 2025 or 2024. At December 31, 2024, we had a remaining authorization to repurchase 2,007,364 shares of our common stock pursuant to our Share Repurchase Program. The timing and amount of any future share repurchases in the open market and through privately negotiated transactions will be determined by the Company’s officers at their discretion and based on a number of factors, including an evaluation of market and economic conditions while also maintaining financial flexibility.

 

Material Cash Requirements from Contractual Obligations.

 

Fluctuations in our operating results, levels of inventory on hand, operating lease commitments, the degree of success of our accounts receivable collection efforts, the timing of tax and other payments, the rate of written orders and net sales, levels of customer deposits on hand, as well as necessary capital expenditures to support growth of our operations will impact our liquidity and cash flows in future periods. The effect of our contractual obligations on our liquidity and capital resources in future periods should be considered in conjunction with the factors mentioned here. At June 30, 2024, we had total contractual obligations of $197.9 million, including $151.3 million related to operating lease commitments and $30.7 million of open purchase orders. Except for $17.3 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 fiscal 2025, there were no other material changes in our contractual obligations as previously disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Other Arrangements

 

We do not utilize or employ any other arrangements in operating our business. As such, we do not maintain any retained or contingent interests, derivative instruments or variable interests which could serve as a source of potential risk to our future liquidity, capital resources and results of operations.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

We disclose our significant accounting policies in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no changes in our significant accounting policies during the first six months of fiscal 2025 from those disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

28

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

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

 

We disclose our critical accounting estimates in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the first six months of fiscal 2025 from those disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

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

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Debt

 

Interest rate risk exists primarily through our borrowing activities. Short-term debt, if required, is used to meet working capital requirements and long-term debt, if required, is generally used to finance long-term investments. There is inherent rollover risk for borrowings as they mature and are renewed at current market rates. The extent of this risk is not quantifiable or predictable because of the variability of future interest rates and our future financing requirements. While we had no fixed or variable rate borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2024, we could be exposed to market risk from changes in risk-free interest rates if we incur variable rate debt in the future as interest expense will fluctuate with changes in the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). We believe that a hypothetical 100 basis point change (up or down) in interest rates based on one-month SOFR would not have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments

 

The fair market value of our cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024 was $57.1 million while our investments (short and long-term) totaled $127.1 million. Our cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and money market funds with original maturities of three months or less and are reported at fair value. Our investments consist of U.S. treasuries with maturities ranging up to two years and are reported at fair value based on observable inputs. Our primary objective for holding available-for-sale securities is to achieve appropriate investment returns consistent with preserving principal and managing risk. Pursuant to our established investment policy guidelines, we try to achieve high levels of credit quality, liquidity and diversification. At any time, a sharp rise in market interest rates could have an impact on the fair value of our available-for-sale securities portfolio. Conversely, declines in interest rates, including the impact from lower credit spreads, could have an adverse impact on interest income for our investment portfolio. However, because of our investment policy and the nature of our investments, our financial exposure to fluctuations in interest rates is expected to remain low. We do not believe that the value or liquidity of our cash equivalents and investments have been materially impacted by current market events. Our available-for-sale securities are held for purposes other than trading and are not leveraged at December 31, 2024. We monitor our interest rate and credit risks and believe the overall credit quality of our portfolio is strong. It is anticipated that the fair market value of our cash equivalents and investments will continue to be immaterially affected by fluctuations in interest rates.

 

29

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

 

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

 

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

 

A hypothetical 10% weaker U.S. dollar against all foreign currencies at December 31, 2024 would have had an immaterial impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. We currently do not engage in any foreign currency hedging activity and have no intention of doing so in the foreseeable future.

 

Duties and Tariffs Market Risk

 

We are exposed to market risk with respect to duties currently assessed on raw materials, component parts and finished goods we import into the U.S. Additionally, we are exposed to duties on our finished goods that we export from our plants located in the U.S., Mexico and Honduras to other countries. The U.S. President has discussed implementing a 10-20% tariff on U.S. imports, a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada, and increasing the tariff on Chinese products to at least 60%. Whether and to what extent these tariffs will be imposed remains to be seen, but if tariffs are imposed or increased, raw materials and finished goods that we import may face higher prices, which could lead to reduced margins or increased prices that could cause decreased customer demand. As duties rise and potential new tariffs enacted, we determine whether a price increase to our customers to help offset these incremental costs is warranted. To the extent that an increase in these costs would have a material impact on our results of operations, we believe that our competitors would experience a similar impact.

 

Raw Materials and Other Commodity Price Risk

 

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

 

Inflation Risk

 

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

 

Commercial Real Estate Market Risk

 

We have potential exposure to market risk related to conditions in the commercial real estate market. At December 31, 2024, there were 141 Company-operated retail design centers, of which 48 are owned and 93 are leased. Our retail segment real estate holdings could suffer significant impairment in value if we are forced to close design centers and sell or lease the related properties during periods of weakness in certain markets. We are also exposed to risk related to conditions in the commercial real estate rental market with respect to the right-of-use assets we carry on our consolidated balance sheets for leased design center locations and warehouse and distribution facilities. At December 31, 2024, the unamortized balance of such right-of-use assets totaled $110.6 million. Should we have to close or otherwise abandon one of these leased locations, we could incur additional impairment charges if rental market conditions do not support a fair value for the right-of-use asset in excess of its carrying value.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries), which is required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Organization and Nature of Business

 

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

 

Ethan Allen design centers represent a mix of locations operated by independent licensees and Company-operated locations. At December 31, 2024, there were 141 Company-operated retail design centers with 137 located in the U.S. and 4 in Canada. We also have 46 independently owned and operated Ethan Allen design centers located in the U.S., Asia, the Middle East and Europe.

 

We manufacture approximately 75% of our furniture in our North American manufacturing plants and have been recognized for product quality and craftsmanship since we were founded in 1932. At December 31, 2024 we own and operate eleven manufacturing facilities, including four manufacturing plants, one sawmill, one rough mill and one kiln dry lumberyard in the U.S., three manufacturing plants in Mexico and one manufacturing plant in Honduras.

Interim Basis of Presentation

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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

 

The interim consolidated financial statements were prepared on a basis consistent with those reflected in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K”) but do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). We derived the June 30, 2024 consolidated balance sheet from our audited financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for fair presentation, have been included in the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with 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 statements of cash flows and within Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, we held $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of restricted cash related to our 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.

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 2025 

 

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. This accounting standard will be effective for our fiscal 2025 Form 10-K on a retrospective basis and subsequent interim periods starting in fiscal 2026. We do not anticipate the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

 

Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective

 

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 ASU will be effective for our annual financial statements starting in fiscal 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 income tax disclosures.

 

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

 

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective as of December 31, 2024 have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Returns and Allowances. Estimated refunds for returns and allowances are based on our historical return patterns. We record these estimated sales refunds on a gross basis rather than on a net basis and have recorded an asset for product we expect to receive back from customers in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and a corresponding refund liability in Other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, these amounts were immaterial.

 

Allowance for Credit Losses. Accounts receivable arise from the sale of products on trade credit terms and presented net of our allowances for credit losses. We maintain an allowance for estimated credit losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance is based on a review of specifically identified accounts in addition to an overall aging analysis. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses was immaterial.

 

Commissions. We capitalize commission fees paid to our employees as contract assets within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. These prepaid commissions are subsequently recognized as a selling expense upon delivery (when we have transferred control of our product to our customer). At December 31, 2024, we had prepaid commissions of $11.2 million, which we expect to recognize to selling expense during the remainder of fiscal 2025 as SG&A expenses within our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Prepaid commissions totaled $11.5 million at June 30, 2024.

 

Customer Deposits. We collect deposits from customers on a portion of the total purchase price at the time a written order is placed, but before we have transferred control of our product to our customers, resulting in contract liabilities. These customer deposits are reported as a current liability in Customer deposits on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2024, we had customer deposits of $70.8 million. At June 30, 2024, we had customer deposits of $73.5 million, of which we recognized $69.1 million of revenue related to our contract liabilities during the six months ended December 31, 2024. Revenue recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2023, which was previously included in Customer deposits as of June 30, 2023, was $71.9 million. Revenue recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2024, which was previously included in Customer deposits as of September 30, 2024, was $13.9 million, compared to $17.7 million of revenue recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2023. We expect that substantially all of the customer deposits at December 31, 2024 will be recognized as revenue within the next 12 months as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Fair Value Measurements

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Level 2 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, we have categorized our investments as Level 2 assets. 

 

Level 3 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We held no Level 3 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2024 or June 30, 2024.

 

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, 2024 and June 30, 2024. There were no transfers between levels of fair value measurements during the periods presented.

Leases

 

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

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and instead expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

 

(3)

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

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Our goodwill and intangible assets are comprised of goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, and our Ethan Allen trade name and related trademarks. Both goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized as they are estimated to have an indefinite life. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, 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 2024 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 September 2024, an Ethan Allen distribution center located in Old Fort, North Carolina was impacted from significant flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. The distribution center, which primarily focuses on shipping custom-made home furnishings to select wholesale customers, suffered losses related to damaged inventory, impaired equipment, a temporary work stoppage and a disruption in shipments. Total losses incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2025 were $0.1 million, net of insurance recoveries.

In July 2023, our wood furniture manufacturing operations located in Orleans, Vermont sustained damage from flooding of the nearby Barton River. In addition to losses related to wood furniture inventory parts and state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, the flooding also resulted in a temporary work stoppage for many Vermont employees and a disruption and delay of shipments. Total losses incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2024 were $2.3 million, net of insurance recoveries and grant proceeds.

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 which resulted in a deferred gain of $5.2 million to be amortized over the term of the operating lease agreement which expired on July 31, 2024.

 

Restructuring payments made by the Company during the six months ended December 31, 2024 were $0.4 million, which were primarily for severance. The restructuring balance at December 31, 2024 was $0.3 million and is anticipated to be paid during the remainder of fiscal 2025.

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 within Interest and other financing costs in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the remaining life of the Credit Agreement using the effective interest method.

 

Availability. The availability of credit at any given time under the Facility will be constrained by the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, including the amount of collateral available, a borrowing base formula based upon numerous factors including the value of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable, and other restrictions contained in the Facility. All obligations under the Facility are secured by assets of the Loan Parties including inventory, receivables and certain types of intellectual property. Total borrowing base availability under the Facility was $121.0 million at December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024.

 

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 had no outstanding borrowings under the Facility at December 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, or at any time during fiscal 2025 and 2024. Since we had no outstanding borrowings during fiscal 2025 and 2024, there was no 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 2025 or 2024, did the unused availability under the Facility fall below $14.0 million, thus the Fixed-Charge Coverage Ratio (FCCR) Covenant did not apply. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all the covenants under the Facility.

 

Letters of Credit. At December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, there was $4.0 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Facility, respectively.

Income Taxes

 

The Company's process for determining the provision for income taxes involves using an estimated annual effective tax rate which is based on forecasted annual income and statutory tax rates across the various jurisdictions in which we operate. We recorded a provision for income tax expense of $5.1 million and $10.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 compared with $5.9 million and $11.1 million in the prior year comparable periods. Our consolidated effective tax rate was 25.4% for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 compared with 25.5% for both 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. At December 31, 2024, we had $4.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits compared with $3.9 million at June 30, 2024. It is reasonably possible that various issues relating to $0.9 million of the total gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2024 will be resolved within the next 12 months as exams are completed or statutes expire. If recognized, $0.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits would reduce our income tax expense in the period realized.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

 

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on our investments. Foreign currency translation adjustments are the result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our operations in Canada, Honduras and Mexico. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the current period-end exchange rate and income and expense amounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period in which the transaction occurred. All unrealized gains and losses on investments are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss within our consolidated balance sheets.

Share-Based Compensation

 

We recognized total share-based compensation expense of $0.8 million and $0.7 million during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts have been included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income within SG&A expenses. At December 31, 2024, $2.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested equity awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years. There was no share-based compensation capitalized during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

At December 31, 2024, there were 1,142,853 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 Plan also provides for the issuance of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) on issued options; however, no SARs have been issued to date. All share-based awards are approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors after consideration of recommendations proposed by the Chief Executive Officer. 

 

Stock Option Activity

 

Employee Stock Option Grants. There were no stock option awards granted to employees during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Non-Employee Stock Option Grants. The Plan also provides for the grant of share-based awards to non-employee directors of the Company. During the first six months of fiscal 2025, we granted 16,650 stock options at an exercise price of $30.03 to our non-employee directors. In the prior year period, we granted 14,330 stock options at an exercise price of $34.89. These stock options vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant so long as the director continues to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors. All options granted to directors have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and remain exercisable for a period of up to ten years, subject to continuous service on our Board of Directors. At December 31, 2024, $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested non-employee stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.0 years.

 

A total of 116,411 stock options were outstanding at December 31, 2024, with a weighted average exercise price of $25.73 and a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.64.

 

Restricted Stock Unit Activity

 

During the first six months of fiscal 2025, we granted 23,399 non-performance based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), with a weighted average grant date fair value of $24.04. 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. In the prior year period, we granted 17,232 RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $28.58 and vest in three equal annual installments on the anniversary date of the grant.

 

During the first six months of fiscal 2025, 20,282 RSUs vested and 3,162 were forfeited, leaving 46,263 RSUs unvested and outstanding at December 31, 2024, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $24.02. At December 31, 2024, $0.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 1.9 years.

 

Performance Stock Unit Activity

 

Payout of performance stock units (“PSUs”) 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 2025, we granted 92,669 PSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $23.06 compared with 73,095 PSUs at a weighted average grant date fair value of $27.58 in the prior year. 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 2025, 68,250 PSUs vested and 5,237 were forfeited, leaving 385,023 PSUs unvested and outstanding at December 31, 2024, with a weighted average grant date fair value of $23.34. Unrecognized compensation expense at December 31, 2024, related to PSUs, was $1.5 million based on the current estimates of the number of awards that will vest, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.1 years.

Segment Information

 

Ethan Allen conducts business globally and has strategically aligned its business into two reportable segments: Wholesale and Retail. These two segments represent strategic business areas of our vertically integrated enterprise that operate separately and provide their own distinctive services. Our operating segments are aligned with how the Company, including our chief operating decision maker, manages the business. We evaluate performance of our 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 our 141 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 and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]

 Commitments and Contingencies

 

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

 

Material Cash Requirements from Contractual Obligations. As disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we had total contractual obligations of $197.9 million, including $151.3 million related to our operating lease commitments and $30.7 million of open purchase orders at June 30, 2024. Except for $17.3 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 2025, there were no other material changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, in our contractual obligations as previously disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Legal Matters. We are routinely party to various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, including investigations or as a defendant in litigation. On a quarterly basis, we review our litigation activities and determine if an unfavorable outcome to us is considered “remote,” “reasonably possible” or “probable” as defined by ASC 450, Contingencies. Where we determine an unfavorable outcome is probable and is reasonably estimable, we accrue for potential litigation losses. Although the outcome of the various claims and proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that, based on information available at December 31, 2024, 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.

New Accounting Standards or Updates Adopted in Fiscal 2025 

 

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. This accounting standard will be effective for our fiscal 2025 Form 10-K on a retrospective basis and subsequent interim periods starting in fiscal 2026. We do not anticipate the adoption of this accounting standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

 

Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective

 

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 ASU will be effective for our annual financial statements starting in fiscal 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 income tax disclosures.

 

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

 

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective as of December 31, 2024 have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

[1] 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.
[2] Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and instead expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
[3] Variable lease payments are generally expensed as incurred, where applicable, and include certain non-lease components, such as maintenance, utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and other services provided by the lessor, and other charges included in the lease. In addition, certain of our equipment lease agreements include variable lease payments, which are based on the usage of the underlying asset. The variable portion of payments are not included in the initial measurement of the asset or lease liability due to uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded as expense in the period incurred.

[1] 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 which resulted in a deferred gain of $5.2 million to be amortized over the term of the operating lease agreement which expired on July 31, 2024.
[2] In September 2024, an Ethan Allen distribution center located in Old Fort, North Carolina was impacted from significant flooding caused by Hurricane Helene. The distribution center, which primarily focuses on shipping custom-made home furnishings to select wholesale customers, suffered losses related to damaged inventory, impaired equipment, a temporary work stoppage and a disruption in shipments. Total losses incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2025 were $0.1 million, net of insurance recoveries.
[3] In July 2023, our wood furniture manufacturing operations located in Orleans, Vermont sustained damage from flooding of the nearby Barton River. In addition to losses related to wood furniture inventory parts and state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, the flooding also resulted in a temporary work stoppage for many Vermont employees and a disruption and delay of shipments. Total losses incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2024 were $2.3 million, net of insurance recoveries and grant proceeds.
