<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">On January 13, 2020, Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. (&#8220;Ethan Allen&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;) issued a press release providing business updates, including an increase to the current share repurchase authorization as well as announcing the release date for the fiscal 2020 second quarter results. A copy of the press release issued by the Company is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein. The information furnished pursuant to this Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed &#8220;filed&#8221; for purposes of Section&nbsp;18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (such act being the &#8220;Exchange Act&#8221;), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">Exhibit 99.1 includes&nbsp;non-GAAP&nbsp;diluted earnings per share for the period presented. This non-GAAP&nbsp;measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, the measure prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and may be different from&nbsp;non-GAAP&nbsp;measures used by other companies. Ethan Allen believes that&nbsp;non-GAAP&nbsp;measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company&#8217;s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate Ethan Allen&#8217;s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt;">Ethan Allen believes that the presentation of&nbsp;non-GAAP&nbsp;diluted earnings per share when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP diluted earnings per share measure, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and its historical and projected results of operations. For its internal budgeting process, Ethan Allen&#8217;s management uses financial statements that do not include, when applicable, significant asset impairments and restructurings, retail acquisition costs, significant litigation settlements and other contingencies, and the income tax effects of the foregoing. The Company&#8217;s management also uses the foregoing&nbsp;non-GAAP&nbsp;measures, in addition to the corresponding GAAP measures, in reviewing the financial results of Ethan Allen. From time to time in the future, there may be other items that Ethan Allen may exclude for purposes of its internal budgeting process and in reviewing its financial results.</p>

<p style="background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">Farooq Kathwari, Ethan Allen&#8217;s Chairman, President and CEO commented, &#8220;We are pleased with the favorable customer response to the Ethan Allen Member Program, which we launched in October 2019. As we mentioned when we launched the program, we expected sales and operating income to be negatively impacted during the transition period as we move from a promotional to membership model, providing our clients an improved customer experience through everyday savings.&#8221;</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">&#8220;While our wholesale orders, which reflects sales through all our channels, decreased 22% from a year ago, we realized sequential improvement in orders each month during the second quarter, with October reflecting a decrease to the prior year, November reflecting a lesser decrease and December orders increasing year over year,&#8221; Mr. Kathwari continued.</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">&#8220;We are pleased that our unique vertical structure continues to provide strong operating leverage to allow us to consistently return value to our shareholders through our regular quarterly dividend, periodic special cash dividends and share repurchases. During our second quarter we paid $5.6 million in cash dividends and repurchased 545,727 shares, representing 2.1% of our outstanding shares.&#8221;</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="background-color:#FFFFFF;font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">Mr. Kathwari concluded, &#8220;For our third quarter, as the Member Program continues to gain momentum, we have a strong marketing program planned, starting with a direct mail magazine being distributed this month to 2.5 million households. This will be supported by various other marketing channels including local television in select markets and digital and social marketing. I am also pleased to announce that Rodney Hutton has recently joined Ethan Allen as our Chief Marketing Officer. Rodney brings a strong marketing and brand building background having previously held senior marketing leadership roles in a number of leading enterprises including Karl Lagerfeld, Ann Klein, Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani.&#8221; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">In this press release the Company has included financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (&#8220;GAAP&#8221;). The Company computes the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted diluted EPS by adjusting the GAAP diluted EPS to remove the impact of certain charges and gains and the related tax effect of these adjustments. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses this non-GAAP financial measure for financial and operational decision making and to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that it provides useful information about operating results, enhances the overall understanding of past financial performance and prospects, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.</p>
