Ethan Allen (ETH) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. is scheduled to report third quarter of fiscal 2021 results on Apr 29, after the closing bell.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s top and bottom lines matched the Zacks Consensus Estimate but improved 2.4% and 155.6% year over year, respectively. Its earnings surpassed the consensus mark in three of the trailing six quarters.
Trend in Estimate Revision
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Ethan Allen’s fiscal third-quarter earnings is pegged at 58 cents per share, implying significant growth of 2,800% on a year-over-year basis. The consensus estimate for revenues is $177 million, indicating an 18.2% year-over-year increase.
Ethan Allen’s interior designing business is likely to generate improved results for the fiscal third quarter backed by favourable market conditions post the easing of COVID-19 disruptions. The company has been witnessing strong pace of written orders. Also, its manufacturing facilities have been ramping up production to meet demand after temporary plant closures in fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
Notably, its self-operated design centers and North American retail network have witnessed significant growth in recent times. Also, the e-commerce business is expected to have provided some support to the top line. Moreover, a resilient housing market scenario, and solid repair & remodeling activities are expected to have benefited the company’s performance in the fiscal third quarter.
However, Ethan Allen believes that it will take the next few quarters to catch up to the increase in customer demand.
A Glimpse of Fiscal Third-Quarter Preliminary Results
During the fiscal third quarter, the company recorded a 51.8% year-over-year increase in written orders in the retail division, including ecommerce. The same metric grew 39% in the Wholesale segment. Excluding General Services Administration and other government orders, wholesale segment orders grew 48.3% from the prior-year quarter. Net delivered sales of $177 million also increased 18.2% year over year.
Its projects adjusted earnings within 56-58 cents per share, indicating a massive improvement from 2 cents a year ago. The potential growth in the bottom line is expected to have been primarily backed by solid cost-containment measures.
Zacks Projections
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Retail segment sales is pegged at $131 million, implying an improvement of 12.9% from the year-ago period. The same for Wholesale segment sales is pegged at $108 million, suggesting 16.1% year-over-year growth.

If you’re looking for big gains, there couldn’t be a better time to get in on a young industry primed to skyrocket from $17.7 billion back in 2019 to an expected $73.6 billion by 2027.
After a clean sweep of 6 election referendums in 5 states, pot is now legal in 36 states plus D.C. Federal legalization is expected soon and that could be a still greater bonanza for investors.
