June 9, 2003. Ethan Allen Interiors Inc. (NYSE: ETH) will be making a presentation on June 11, 2003 at the Piper Jaffray Consumer Conference. Commenting on the current business climate and outlook, Farooq Kathwari, Chairman and CEO, commented, "As we've previously indicated, business conditions for the last few months have been challenging. Over the past few weeks we have seen improved consumer confidence and improved traffic in our stores. More time is needed to determine whether or not this will be a continuing trend. While it is still early to predict our results for the quarter, it currently looks like the analysts' consensus of about $0.55 should be achievable." Mr. Kathwari further commented, "Our business strategy continues to focus on providing solutions to consumers by offering great style, quality and value with the convenience of one-stop shopping and complementary design service to make the decorating process fun and easy, and to locate our national network of stores in the right places, projecting a stylish attitude. In Atlanta, Georgia, later this month we will be celebrating the grand opening of our first store with our new exterior facade and new interior projections, and we will be introducing our exciting NEW COUNTRY BY ETHAN ALLEN collection to our retailers. This new collection will be introduced to consumers this Fall. In July we will be launching our new Ethan Allen Kids program to consumers with strong marketing support. Appealing to both kids and their parents, this program offers an important growth opportunity for our company."
