ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Unaudited)

 

(1) Basis of Presentation

 

Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. ("Interiors") is a Delaware corporation incorporated on May 25, 1989. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Interiors, its wholly owned subsidiary Ethan Allen Global, Inc. ("Global"), and Global’s subsidiaries (collectively "We", "Us", "Our", "Ethan Allen", or the "Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. All of Global’s capital stock is owned by Interiors, which has no assets or operating results other than those associated with its investment in Global.

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, 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 revenues 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, revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, tax valuation allowances, useful lives for property, plant and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment analyses, the evaluation of uncertain tax positions and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations.

 

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of an entity in which we are a majority shareholder and have 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 Statement of Comprehensive Income within interest and other miscellaneous income, net.

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company has combined selling, general and administrative expenses in a single line item on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income to remove information that we do not believe is meaningful and to improve comparability with peer companies. Selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, and restructuring and impairment charges had previously been presented separately.

(2)Interim Financial Presentation

 

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 September 30,December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013.

 

(3)Income Taxes

 

The Company reviews its expected annual effective income tax rates and makes changes on a quarterly basis as necessary based on certain factors such as changes in forecasted annual operating income; changes to actual or forecasted permanent book to tax differences; impacts from future tax audits with state, federal or foreign tax authorities; impacts from tax law changes; or change in judgment as to the realizability of deferred tax assets. The Company identifies items which are not normal and are non-recurring in nature and treats these as discrete events. The tax effect of discrete items is recorded in the quarter in which the discrete events occur. Due to the volatility of these factors, the Company's consolidated effective income tax rate can change significantly on a quarterly basis.

 

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S., various state, and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination byin such domestic and foreign jurisdictions. As of September 30,December 31, 2013, the Company and certain subsidiaries are currently under audit in the U.S. from 2006 through 2011 in the U.S.2011. While the amount of uncertain tax benefits with respect to the entities and years under audit may change within the next twelve months, it is not anticipated that any of the changes will be significant. It is reasonably possible that some of these audits may be completed during the next twelve months. It is reasonable to expect that various issues relating to uncertain tax benefits will be resolved within the next twelve months as exams are completed or as statutes expire and will impact the effective tax rate.

 


ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company’s consolidated effective tax rate was 36.2%35.9% and 36.0% for the three and six months ended September 30,December 31, 2013, respectively, and 36.4%35.6% and 36.0% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012.December 31, 2012, respectively. The current quarteryear effective tax rate primarily includes tax expense on the current quarter’speriod net income, interest expense on uncertain tax positions, and the impact of maintaining valuation allowances on certain deferred tax assets, partly offset by the reversal and recognition of some uncertain tax positions. The prior periodyear effective tax rate primarily includes the tax expense on that quarter’speriod’s net income, interest expense on uncertain tax positions, and the impact of maintaining valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in the retail segment.

(4)Restricted Cash and Investments

 

At September 30,December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, we held $14.9 million and $15.4 million respectively, of restricted cash and investments in lieu of providing letters of credit for the benefit of the provider of our workmen’s compensation and other insurance and for the benefit of the issuer of our private label credit card. These funds can be invested in high quality money market mutual funds, U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government agency fixed income instruments, and cannot be withdrawn without the prior written consent of the secured party. These assets are carried at cost, which approximates market value and are classified as long-term assets because they are not expected to be used within one year to fund operations. See also Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements". Effective January 2014 under the terms of the amended agreement with our provider of our private label credit card program, $6 million of restricted cash was released and moved into the Company’s operating cash accounts.

 

(5)Marketable Securities

 

At September 30,December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the Company held marketable securities of $13.4$20.2 million and $15.5 million respectively, classified as current assets, consisting of U.S. municipal and corporate bonds with maturities ranging from less than one year to less than two years, which were rated A/A2 or better by the rating services Standard & Poors (“S&P”) and Moodys Investors Service (“Moodys”) respectively. There have beenwere no material realized or unrealized gains or losses for the threesix months ended September 30,December 31, 2013 and September 30,December 31, 2012. We do not believe there are any impairments considered to be other than temporary at September 30,December 31, 2013. See also Note 12, “Fair Value Measurements".

In September 2005, we issued $200.0 million in ten-year senior unsecured notes due October 1, 2015 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes were issued by Global, bearing an annual coupon rate of 5.375% with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1. We have used the net proceeds of $198.4 million to improve our retail network, invest in our manufacturing and logistics operations, and for other general corporate purposes. In fiscal years 2011 through 2013, the Company repurchased an aggregate $70.6 million of the Senior Notes in several unsolicited transactions.

 

We also maintain a $50 million senior secured, asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). We have not had any revolving loans under the Facility at any time. At both September 30,December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, there were $0.6 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Facility. The Facility is subject to borrowing base availability and includes a right for the Company to increase the total facility to $100 million subject to certain conditions. The Facility is secured by all property owned, leased or operated by the Company in the United States excluding any real property owned by the Company and contains customary covenants which may limit the Company’s ability to incur debt, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments (including dividends), sell certain assets, and make investments. Remaining availability under the Facility totaled $49.4 million at September 30,December 31, 2013 and at June 30, 2013 and as a result, covenants and other restricted payment limitations did not apply. The Facility expires March 25, 2016, or June 26, 2015 if the Senior Notes have not been refinanced prior to that date.

 

At both September 30,December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Senior Notes and the Facility.

 

(8)Litigation

 

We are routinely involved in various investigations or as a defendant in litigation, in the ordinary course of business. We are also subject to various federal, state and local environmental protection laws and regulations and are involved, from time to time, in investigations and proceedings regarding environmental matters. Such investigations and proceedings typically concern air emissions, water discharges, and/or management of solid and hazardous wastes. Under these laws, we and/or our subsidiaries are, or may be, required to remove or mitigate the effects on the environment of the disposal or release of certain hazardous materials.

 

Regulations issued under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 required the industry to reformulate certain furniture finishes or institute process changes to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds. Compliance with many of these requirements has been facilitated through the introduction of high solids coating technology and alternative formulations. In addition, we have instituted a variety of technical and procedural controls, including reformulation of finishing materials to reduce toxicity, implementation of high velocity low pressure spray systems, development of storm water protection plans and controls, and further development of related inspection/audit teams, all of which have served to reduce emissions per unit of production. We remain committed to implementing new waste minimization programs and/or enhancing existing programs with the objective of (i) reducing the total volume of waste, (ii) limiting the liability associated with waste disposal, and (iii) continuously improving environmental and job safety programs on the factory floor which serve to minimize emissions and safety risks for employees. We will continue to evaluate the most appropriate, cost effective, control technologies for finishing operations and design production methods to reduce the use of hazardous materials in the manufacturing process. We believe that our facilities are in material compliance with all such applicable laws and regulations. Our currently anticipated capital expenditures for environmental control facility matters are not material.

(12)Fair Value Measurements

 

We determine fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value is calculated based on assumptions that market participants use in pricing the asset or liability, and not on assumptions specific to the Company. In addition, the fair value of liabilities includes consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of three levels, determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

 

Level 1      Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2      Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3      Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

 

The following section describes the valuation methodologies we use to measure different financial assets and liabilities at fair value.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Cash equivalents consist of money market accounts and mutual funds in U.S. government and agency fixed income securities. We use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to determine fair value. There were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 during the first threesix months of fiscal 2014 or fiscal 2013. At September 30,December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, $14.9 million and $15.4 million respectively, of the cash equivalents were restricted, and classified as long-term assets.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

 

We measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value when they are deemed to be impaired. During the three month periodssix months ended September 30,December 31, 2013, and 2012, we did not record any impairments on those assets required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.basis and during the six months ended December 31, 2012 we recorded a $1.6 million impairment relating to real estate assets held for sale.

 

(13)Segment Information

 

Our operations are classified into two operating segments: wholesale and retail. These operating segments represent strategic business areas of our vertically integrated business which, although they operate separately and provide their own distinctive services, enable us to more efficiently control the quality and cost of our complete line of home furnishings and accessories.

 

The wholesale segment is principally involved in the development of the Ethan Allen brand, which encompasses the design, manufacture, domestic and offshore sourcing, sale and distribution of a full range of home furnishings and accessories to a network of independently operated and Ethan Allen operated design centers as well as related marketing and brand awareness efforts. Wholesale revenue is generated upon the wholesale sale and shipment of our product to all retail design centers, including those operated by Ethan Allen. Wholesale profitability includes (i) the wholesale gross margin, which represents the difference between the wholesale sales price and the cost associated with manufacturing and/or sourcing the related product, and (ii) other operating costs associated with wholesale segment activities.

 

The retail segment sells home furnishings and accessories to consumers through a network of Company operated design centers. Retail revenue is generated upon the retail sale and delivery of our product to our customers. Retail profitability includes (i) the retail gross margin, which represents the difference between the retail sales price and the cost of goods purchased from the wholesale segment, and (ii) other operating costs associated with retail segment activities.

 

Inter-segment eliminations result, primarily, from the wholesale sale of inventory to the retail segment, including the related profit margin.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Unaudited)

 

We evaluate performance of the respective segments based upon revenues and operating income. While the manner in which our home furnishings and accessories are marketed and sold is consistent, the nature of the underlying recorded sales (i.e. wholesale versus retail) and the specific services that each operating segment provides (i.e. wholesale manufacturing, sourcing, and distribution versus retail selling) are different. Within the wholesale segment, we maintain revenue information according to each respective product line (i.e. case goods, upholstery, or home accessories and other). The allocation of retail sales by product line is reasonably similar to that of the wholesale segment. A breakdown of wholesale sales by these product lines for the three and six months ended September 30,December 31, 2013 and 2012 is provided as follows:

Results of Operations

 

During the second quarter of our 2014 fiscal year, consolidated net sales increased 1.0% compared to the second quarter of our 2013 fiscal year. During that same period our consolidated gross margin improved to 54.9% from 54.4%, operating margin improved to 10.3% from 9.1%, and net earnings improved to $0.39 from $0.34 per diluted share. These improvements were driven by our wholesale segment, where net sales during the second quarter of our 2014 fiscal year increased 4.6% compared to the same quarter of our 2013 fiscal year. During that same period our wholesale gross margin improved to 32.0% from 29.7%, and operating margin improved to 12.7% from 8.2%. Written orders booked by our retail division in the firstsecond quarter of our 2014 fiscal year ending September 30, 2013, grew 11.4%decreased 4.0% over the firstsecond quarter of the 2013 fiscal 2013. This includedyear, including a comparable design center written order decrease of 1.8%. However, on a year to date basis retail written orders remain up 4.2%, including comparable design center growth of 13.8%6.6%. However,In our retail segment, during the second quarter of our 2014 fiscal year, net sales of $141.8 million indecreased 0.2% compared to the firstsecond quarter of our 2013 fiscal 2014 byyear. During that same period our retail division for the quarter were 4.9% lower than the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. This ledgross margin decreased to an 11.9% increase in our45.2% from 45.7%, and operating margin decreased to 2.8% from 4.0%. Our retail backlog at the end of the first fiscal quarter this year.December 31, 2013 is up 14% from December 31, 2012.

During this first quarter, we undertook a major initiative to prepare our network of design centers for the launch in October 2013 of our “The New Eclecticism” campaign. This launch includes an assortment of new, attractively priced accessory products

Our strong and is our latest initiativeinnovative marketing campaigns continue to expand our reach to more consumers by adding fashion, color, and a spirit of mixing things up to our time-honored story of quality, value and style. To make room on our design center floors for these new products, our retail division held significantly more clearance event sales at substantial discounts which resulted in lower gross margins and profitability during the quarter. Our wholesale division net sales during the current fiscal quarter benefitted however, from shipping floor samples of these new products to all of our Company operated design centers and to our independently operated design centers. These shipments led to an increase in wholesale net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 of 1.6% compared to the comparable prior year period. Sales from our wholesale division to our retail division are included in the wholesale net sales but are eliminated from our consolidated net sales. Consolidated net sales were 3.1% lower during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 than the comparable quarter last year, primarily as a result of these lower net sales by our retail division.

We continue to invest significantly in (i) getting our messages across with strong advertising and marketing campaigns, (ii) the strength of our interior design professionals and management in our retail business, (iii) new technologies across key aspects of our vertically integrated business, and (iv) the ramp up of our North American manufacturing capacity where we manufacture approximately 70% of our products. Our competitive advantages arise from:

 

 

providing high quality products of the finest craftsmanship,

 

 

offering complimentary design service through an estimated 2,000 motivated interior design professionals network-wide,

 

 

our wide array of custom product offerings across our upholstery, case goods, and accessory product categories,

 

 

enhancing our technology in all aspects of the business, and

 

 

leveraging our vertically integrated structure.

 

We continue to make considerable investments to strengthen the level of service, professionalism, and interior design competence, as well as to improve the efficiency of our retail operations. We believe that over time, we will continue to benefit from (i) continuous repositioning of our retail network, (ii) frequent new product introductions, (iii) new and innovative marketing promotions and effective use of targeted advertising media, and (iv) continued use of the latest technology coupled with personal service from our interior design professionals. We believe our network of professionally trained interior design professionals differentiates us significantly from others in our industry.

 


ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

During our 2013 fiscal 2013,year, the Company’s retail division expanded for the first time into non-English language locations in Montreal, Canada and in Belgium. These international retail locations are initially incurring startup losses but we expect them to reach breakeven by the end of our 2014 fiscal 2014.year.

 

We measure the performance of our design centers based on net sales and written orders booked on a comparable period to period basis. Comparable design centers are those which have been operating for at least 15 months. Minimal net sales derived from the delivery of customer ordered product are generated during the first three months of operations of newly opened (including relocated) design centers. Design centers acquired by us from independent retailers are included in comparable design center sales in their 13th full month of Ethan Allen-owned operations. The frequency of our promotional events as well as the timing of the end of those events can impact the orders booked during a given quarter.

Consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30,December 31, 2013 decreased 3.1%increased 1.0% to $181.7$193.1 million, from $187.4$191.3 million for the three months ended September 30,December 31, 2012. The decreaseincrease is primarily due to lowerincreased shipments in our retailwholesale segment discussed below.

 

At September 30,December 31, 2013, the Company operated 147 of the 297295 global network design centers compared with 149 of the 302305 at September 30,December 31, 2012. Our global network included 7068 design centers in China at the end of the current quarter compared to 7374 at the end of the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2013. Our international net sales, including those of our Company operated design centers, were approximately 10% of consolidated net sales in both the current and prior year firstsecond quarters. The majority of our international sales are to our independent retailer in China.

 

Wholesale revenue for the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 1.6%4.6% to $113.2$113.1 million from $111.4$108.2 million in the prior year comparable period.

We beganIn the second quarter with lower retail backlogs which limited our product deliveries and net sales duringof the quarter. Weprior year, we sold two Company operated design centers in Houston to our independent retailer operating in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, and had two fewer Company operated design centers as compared to one year ago.that market. We ended the current quarter with 147 Company operated design centers. Company operated design center totalcenters, which are two fewer than last year. Our written business increased 11.4%(orders) in the quarter decreased 4.0% while comparable design center written business increased 13.8% duringdecreased 1.8% compared to the firstsecond quarter of fiscal 2014 compared2013. While the second quarter is historically our seasonally low period for writing orders, business was negatively affected in the quarter by the government shutdown and its impact on consumer confidence, bad weather in certain parts of the United States, and backordered imported products that have delayed deliveries to the comparable quarter of fiscal 2013.customers. Our ending retail backlog was 14.0% higher than a year ago.

 

Gross profit was $98.7$106.0 million for the quarter ended September 30,December 31, 2013, down 5.3%up 2.0% from the $104.3$104.0 million in the prior year comparable quarter. The decrease wasquarter driven by 3.1% lower netthe growth in sales and lower gross margin.in our wholesale business. Gross margin for the September 30,December 31, 2013 quarter was 54.4%54.9%, downup from 55.6%54.4% the prior year comparable quarter due to (i) a greateroperating leverage from higher sales volume of clearance sales in the current fiscal quarter as we prepared for our sales initiative beginning in October 2013, (ii)wholesale segment. This operating leverage benefit on gross margin was partly offset by (i) a lower proportion of retail division net sales to our consolidated net sales (78.1%(78.5% compared to 79.5%79.4% the prior year), (iii) a higher proportion of product manufactured in our domestic manufacturing plants as opposed to offshore sourcing, and (iv)(ii) a higher proportion of our retail sales with promotional discounts in lieu of full price sales with long term financing costs.

 

Operating expenses decreased $3.5$0.5 million or 4.1%0.5% to $82.8$86.1 million from $86.3$86.6 million in the prior year comparable quarter due primarily to (i) lower variable costs on the 3.1% decline in net sales, (ii) lower losses on the sale of vacant retail real estate, and (iii)(ii) a higher proportion of our retail sales with promotional discounts in lieu of full price sales with long term financing costs. These operating expense declines were partly offset by higher medical and workers compensation costs and international expansion costs.

Consolidated revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2013 decreased 1.0% to $374.8 million, from $378.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease is primarily due to lower shipments in our retail segment discussed below.

Our wholesale net sales benefitted from higher shipments to our independent retailers worldwide including floor product samples in support of our new product launch.

Retail revenue from Company operated design centers for the six months ended December 31, 2013 decreased 2.5% to $293.3 million from $300.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012. We began the year with lower retail backlogs which limited our product deliveries and net sales. We sold two design centers in Houston to our independent retailer in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, and had two fewer Company operated design centers as compared to one year ago. Our written business (orders) booked by our retail division increased 4.2% while comparable design center written business increased 6.6% during the first six months of fiscal 2014 compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2013.

Gross profit was $204.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, down 1.7% from the $208.2 million in the prior year comparable period. The decrease was driven by lower net sales and gross margin in our retail segment. Gross margin for the December 31, 2013 period was 54.6%, down from 55.0% the prior year, due to (i) a greater volume of clearance sales by our retail segment as we prepared for our new product launch which began in October 2013, (ii) a lower proportion of retail division net sales to our consolidated net sales (78.3% compared to 79.5% the prior year), and (iii) a higher proportion of our retail sales with promotional discounts in lieu of full price sales with long term financing costs.

Operating expenses decreased $4.0 million or 2.3% to $168.9 million from $172.9 million in the prior year comparable period due primarily to (i) lower variable costs on the 1.0% decline in net sales, (ii) lower charges on vacant retail real estate, and (iii) a higher proportion of our retail sales with promotional discounts in lieu of full price sales with long term financing costs. These operating expense declines were partly offset by higher medical and workers compensation costs.

Operating income and profit margin for the six months ended December 31, 2013 was $35.8 million, or 9.6% of net sales, an increase of $0.5 million or 1.4% from the prior year comparable period’s $35.3 million, or 9.3% of net sales.Wholesale operating incomefor the six months ended December 31, 2013 was $30.5 million, or 13.5% of sales, compared to $24.9 million, or 11.3% of sales, in the prior year comparable period.Retail operating income for the first six months of fiscal 2014 was $4.0 million, or 1.4% of sales, compared to $7.1 million, or 2.3% of sales in the prior year comparable period driven primarily by lower retail net sales in fiscal 2014.

Interest and other income, net remained relatively consistent with the prior year at $0.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and $0.2 million in the prior year six month period.

Interest and other related financing costs amounted to $3.7 million in the current period compared to $4.4 million in the prior year comparable period. The $0.7 million reduction resulted from reductions in debt outstanding. Since December 2012, debt has been reduced by $24.0 million through Senior Note repurchases.

Income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2013 totaled $11.6 million compared to $11.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012. Our effective tax rate was 36.0% for both the current and prior year. The current effective tax rate primarily includes tax expense on the current net income, interest expense on uncertain tax positions, and the impact of maintaining valuation allowances on certain deferred tax assets, partly offset by the recognition of some uncertain tax positions. The prior period effective tax rate primarily includes the tax expense on the previous years net income, interest expense on uncertain tax positions, and the impact of maintaining valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in the retail segment.

Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2013, was $20.6 million compared to $19.9 million in the prior year comparable period. This resulted in net income per diluted share of $0.70 for the period ended December 31, 2013 compared to $0.68 per diluted share for the period ended December 31, 2012.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30,December 31, 2013, we held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $91.2$77.6 million, marketable securities of $13.4$20.2 million, and restricted cash and investments of $14.9 million. At June 30, 2013, we held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $72.6 million, marketable securities of $15.5 million, and restricted cash and investments of $15.4 million. Our principal sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash flow from operations, amounts available under our credit facility, and other borrowings.

 

In September 2005, we issued $200.0 million in ten-year senior unsecured notes due October 1, 2015 (the "Senior Notes"). The Senior Notes were issued by Global, bearing an annual coupon rate of 5.375% with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1. We used the net proceeds of $198.4 million to improve our retail network, invest in our manufacturing and logistics operations, and for other general corporate purposes. In fiscal years 2011 through 2013, the Company repurchased an aggregate $70.6 million of the Senior Notes in several unsolicited transactions.Notes.

 

We also maintain a $50 million senior secured, asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). We have not had any revolving loans under the Facility at any time. At both September 30,December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, there were $0.6 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under the Facility. The Facility is subject to borrowing base availability and includes a right for the Company to increase the total facility to $100 million subject to certain conditions. The Facility is secured by all property owned, leased or operated by the Company in the United States excluding any real property owned by the Company and contains customary covenants which may limit the Company’s ability to incur debt, engage in mergers and consolidations, make restricted payments (including dividends), sell certain assets, and make investments. Remaining availability under the Facility totaled $49.4 million at September 30,December 31, 2013 and at June 30, 2013 and as a result, covenants and other restricted payment limitations did not apply. The Facility expires March 25, 2016, or June 26, 2015 if the Senior Notes have not been refinanced prior to that date.

 

At both September 30,December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants of the Senior Notes and the Facility.

Operating Activities

 

In the first threesix months of fiscal 2014, cash of $21.1$22.6 million was generated by operating activities, an increase of $14.4$4.4 million from the comparable prior fiscalyear comparable period. The net increase in cash generated from operating activities was largely due to a $13.5 million increaseless cash used the current year through reductions in year to date current liabilities partly offset by lower cash generated from favorable changesthe reduction in our customer deposits balances (an $8.3current assets year to date. An additional $1.5 million net decrease in cash increase in the current fiscal year compared with a $5.2 million cash use during the prior year quarter). The remaining $0.9 million increase netted higher cashwas generated from other working capital elements (defined below) against lower cash generated through income during the periods.operating activities. Working capital items consist of accountscurrent assets (accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid and other current assets, customerassets) less current liabilities (customer deposits, payables, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities.liabilities).

 

Investing Activities

 

In the first threesix months of fiscal 2014, less than $0.1$12.1 million of cash was used in investing activities, which is $9.9$9.2 million less cash used than was used during the first threesix months of fiscal 2013. Less cash was used in fiscal 2014 primarily due to a decrease in capital expenditures in the current period as well as a decrease in our net purchases of marketable securities. We anticipate that cash from operations will be sufficient to fund future capital expenditures.

 

Financing Activities

 

In the first threesix months of both fiscal 2014, and fiscal 2013, $2.6$5.5 million was used in financing activities. The regularactivities, which is $13.9 million less cash used than was used during the first six months of fiscal 2013. Two quarterly dividends were paid in the first six months of fiscal 2014, and with a dividend increase from $0.09 to $0.10 per share paid in October 2013. In the prior fiscal year, the payment of the quarterly dividend which would normally have occurred in January 2013 was $.09accelerated to December 2012. The declaration and payment of a special dividend of $0.41 per share also occurred in both periods, however it was increased to $.10 per share in July 2013 which will be payable in October 2013.December 2012. The Company has continuously paid dividends for every quarter since 1996 and we expect to continue to do so as economic conditions and liquidity permit.

 

 

 

ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

As of September 30,December 31, 2013, our outstanding debt totaled $131.2$131.1 million, which consists of $129.2 million in Senior Notes which mature in September 2015 (fiscal 2016), and $2.0$1.9 million in capital leases which mature at various times through February 2018. The aggregate scheduled maturities of long-term debt for each of the next five fiscal years are $0.5 million in fiscal 2015, $129.7 million in fiscal 2016, $0.5 million in fiscal 2017 and $0.2 million in fiscal 2018. At June 30, 2013, our outstanding debt totaled $131.3 million, the current and long-term portions of which amounted to less than $0.5 million and $130.8 million respectively.

 

There has been no material change to the amount or timing of cash payments related to our outstanding contractual obligations as set forth in Part II, Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013 as filed with the SEC on August 16, 2013.

 

We believe that our cash flow from operations, together with our other available sources of liquidity including refinancing alternatives, will be adequate to make all required payments of principal and interest on our debt, to permit anticipated capital expenditures, and to fund working capital and other cash requirements. As of September 30,December 31, 2013, we had working capital of $136.5$145.9 million compared to $127.6 million at June 30, 2013, an increase of $8.9$18.2 million, or 6.9%14.3%. The Company had a current ratio of 1.942.18 to 1 at September 30,December 31, 2013 and 1.96 to 1 at June 30, 2013.

 

In addition to using available cash to fund changes in working capital, capital expenditures, acquisition activity, the repayment of debt, the payment of dividends, and debt repurchases, we have been authorized by our Board of Directors to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time, either directly or through agents, in the open market at prices and on terms satisfactory to us. All of our common stock repurchases and retirements are recorded as treasury stock and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity. During the three months ended September 30,both six month periods ending December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no repurchases and/or retirements of our common stock. At September 30,December 31, 2013, we had a remaining Board authorization to repurchase 1,101,490 shares of our common stock.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Commitments, Contingencies and Contractual Obligations

 

We do not utilize or employ any off-balance sheet arrangements, including special-purpose entities, in operating our business. As such, we do not maintain any (i) retained or contingent interests, (ii) derivative instruments (other than as specified below), or (iii) variable interests which could serve as a source of potential risk to our future liquidity, capital resources and results of operations.

 

We may, from time to time in the ordinary course of business, provide guarantees on behalf of selected affiliated entities or become contractually obligated to perform in accordance with the terms and conditions of certain business agreements. The nature and extent of these guarantees and obligations may vary based on our underlying relationship with the benefiting party and the business purpose for which the guarantee or obligation is being provided. The only such program in place both at September 30,December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 was for our consumer credit program.

 

Ethan Allen Consumer Credit Program

 

The terms and conditions of our consumer credit program, which is financed and administered by a third-party financial institution on a non-recourse basis to Ethan Allen, are set forth in an agreement between the Company and that financial service provider (the “Program Agreement”). Any independent retailer choosing to participate in the consumer credit program is required to enter into a separate agreement with that same third-party financial institution which sets forth the terms and conditions under which the retailer is to perform in connection with its offering of consumer credit to its customers (the “Retailer Agreement”). We have obligated ourselves on behalf of any independent retailer choosing to participate in our consumer credit program by agreeing, in the event of default, breach, or failure of the independent retailer to perform under such Retailer Agreement, to take on certain responsibilities of the independent retailer, including, but not limited to, delivery of goods and reimbursement of customer deposits. Customer receivables originated by independent retailers remain non-recourse to Ethan Allen. Our obligation remains in effect forEffective January 1, 2014, we extended the term of the Program Agreement that expires inthrough July 2014.2019, including a provision for automatic one year renewals unless either party gives notice of termination. While the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that we could be required to make under this obligation is indeterminable, recourse provisions exist that would enable us to recover, from the independent retailer, any amount paid or incurred by us related to our performance. Based on the underlying creditworthiness of our independent retailers, including their historical ability to satisfactorily perform in connection with the terms of our consumer credit program, we believe this obligation will expire without requiring funding by us. To ensure funding for delivery of products sold, the terms of this agreementthe Program Agreement also contain a right for the credit card issuer to demand from the Company collateral of up to $12 million if the Company does not meet certain covenants. As of September 30,December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the Company maintained a restricted cash and investment collateral account of $6 million to satisfy the current collateral requirement. With the program extension effective January 2014, the $6 million restricted cash collateral was released to operating cash. Future collateral may be required if certain financial metrics fall below contracted levels. Such collateral will be variable based on the volume of program sales.

Product Warranties

 

Our products, including our case goods, upholstery and home accents, generally carry explicit product warranties that extend from one to ten years and are provided based on terms that are generally accepted in the industry. All of our domestic independent retailers are required to enter into, and perform in accordance with the terms and conditions of, a warranty service agreement. We record provisions for estimated warranty and other related costs at time of sale based on historical warranty loss experience and make periodic adjustments to those provisions to reflect actual experience. On rare occasions, certain warranty and other related claims involve matters of dispute that ultimately are resolved by negotiation, arbitration or litigation. In certain cases, a material warranty issue may arise which is beyond the scope of our historical experience. We provide for such warranty issues as they become known and are deemed to be both probable and estimable. It is reasonably possible that, from time to time, additional warranty and other related claims could arise from disputes or other matters beyond the scope of our historical experience. As of September 30,December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, our product warranty liability totaled $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

 

Business Outlook

 

The home furnishings industry remains in a slow recovery period following the ’Great Recession’. Many macroeconomic factors have improved including unemployment, consumer confidence, and housing related market indicators in the U.S. However, the U.S. home furnishings industry remains highly competitive and promotional. We are also concerned that a failure by the U.S. Congress to take more definitive action by earlyin 2014 to address concerns with respect to the U.S. debt ceiling, and stabilizing government spending, in order to avoid another government shutdownand the Federal Reserve further paring of its bond-purchase monetary stimulus could have significant negative consequences for the U.S. economy, consumer demand and spending habits and, as a result, our business. We remain cautiously optimistic about our performance due to the many strong programs already in place and others we currently plan to introduce in the coming months.

 

We expect the home furnishings industry to remain extremely competitive with respect to both the sourcing of products and the wholesale and retail sale of those products for the foreseeable future. Domestic manufacturers continue to face pricing pressures because of the lower manufacturing costs in some other countries, particularly within Asia. While we have also turned to overseas sourcing to remain competitive, we choose to differentiate ourselves by maintaining a substantial North American manufacturing base, where we can leverage our vertically integrated structure to our advantage. We continue to believe that a balanced approach to product sourcing, which includes the domestic manufacture of certain product offerings coupled with the import of other selected products, provides the greatest degree of flexibility and is the most effective approach to ensuring that acceptable levels of quality, service and value are attained.

 

Our retail strategy involves (i) a continued focus on providing new product introductions, a wide array of product solutions, and superior interior design solutions through our large staff of interior design professionals, (ii) continuing strong advertising and marketing campaigns to get our message across and to continue broadening our customer base, (iii) the opening of new or relocated design centers in more prominent locations, while encouraging independent retailers to do the same, (iv) leveraging the use of technology and personal service within our retail network, and (v) further expansion internationally. We believe this strategy provides an opportunity to grow our business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

There have been no material changes to the market risks disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013 as filed with the SEC on August 16, 2013.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and the Vice President-Finance ("VPF"), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the CEO and VPF have concluded that, as of September 30,December 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries), which is required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and VPF, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been 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 fiscal quarter ended September 30,December 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

There have been no material changes to the matters discussed in Part I, Item 3 - Legal Proceedings in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013 as filed with the SEC on August 16, 2013.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The following additional Risk FactorFactors should be read in conjunction with the Risk Factors set forth in Item 1A of the Annual Report.

 

Continuing uncertainty concerning the debt ceiling and the possibility of another government shutdown could adversely affect the U.S. economy, consumer demand and spending habits and, as a result, our business.

 

Historically, the home furnishings industry has been subject to variations in the general economy and to uncertainty regarding future economic prospects. We believe that our business was negatively affected in September and the first half of October 2013 by consumer concerns related to the potential effects of a government shutdown and a potential default on U.S. debt if the debt ceiling was not raised. While Congress took action to temporarily raise the debt ceiling and restore funding for U.S. government operations in October, those issues will need to be revisited in early calendar year 2014. If Congress fails to take more definitive action to address those issues prior to that time, continuing uncertainty about those issues could adversely affect the U.S. economy, consumer demand and spending habits and, as a result, our business.

 


ETHAN ALLEN INTERIORS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

We could incur substantial costs due to compliance with conflict mineral regulations, which may materially adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

The SEC has adopted rules regarding disclosure of the use of conflict minerals (commonly referred to as tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold), which are mined from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries. This requirement could affect the sourcing of materials used in some of our products as well as the companies we use to manufacture our products. If our products are found to contain conflict minerals sourced from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or surrounding countries, the Company may take actions to change materials or designs to reduce the possibility that the purchase of conflict minerals may fund armed groups in the region. These actions could add engineering and other costs to the manufacture of our products.

We expect to incur costs to design and implement a process to discover the origin of the tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold used in our products, and to audit our conflict minerals disclosures. Our reputation and consequently our financial condition may also suffer if we have included conflict minerals originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or surrounding countries in our products, and those conflict minerals funded armed groups in the region. 

For a more complete discussion of these and other factors, see “Risk Factors”, in Part 1, Item 1A of the Annual Report.
