Overview 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 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 (“U.S.”) 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 June 30, 2026, the Company operates 141 retail design centers with 136 located in the U.S. and five in Canada. Our 43 independently operated design centers are 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. 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. The Company also partners with suppliers located in Europe, Asia, and other countries to produce and import various products that support the business. We regularly update display presentations and floor plans, strengthen the qualifications of our designers through training and certifications and combine technology with personal service in our design centers. Over the past 10 years, 25% of our design centers are new or have been relocated as we continually evaluate our retail footprint. In the past five years, we have either opened or relocated 17 design centers with an average size of 7,230 square feet. These new design centers reflect our shift to lifestyle centers that better project our brand and optimize space. During fiscal 2026, four new Company-operated design centers were opened that showcase Ethan Allen home furnishings while combining complimentary interior design services with technology.

Our North American manufacturing and logistics operations are an integral part of an overall strategy to maximize production efficiencies and maintain this competitive advantage.
