TUESDAY MORNING CORPORATION REVISES 2005 FOURTH QUARTER AND ANNUAL GUIDANCE

DALLAS, TX – December 22, 2005 — Tuesday Morning Corporation (NASDAQ: TUES) today announced revised guidance for the fourth quarter and year ending December 31, 2005.  Total sales for the fourth quarter of 2005 are now expected to be in the range of $330 to $335 million, resulting in total sales for the year ending December 31, 2005 of approximately $927 to $932 million, up 3.3% to 3.8%, respectively, from total annual sales of $897.8 million in fiscal 2004.  Based on the fourth quarter sales expectation, comparable store sales for the full-year are expected to be down approximately 4.0% to 4.5%.

Diluted earnings per share, based on these sales results, would be approximately $0.81 to $0.84 for the fourth quarter of 2005, and approximately $1.42 to $1.45 per diluted share for fiscal 2005.  Excluding the $0.06 per diluted share lease accounting charge taken in the first quarter of 2005, diluted earnings for fiscal 2005 would be approximately $1.48 to $1.51 versus $1.50 diluted earnings for the 2004 fiscal year.

“Average ticket in the fourth quarter increased versus fourth quarter last year, however traffic levels in our stores have not driven the sales we anticipated,” stated Kathleen Mason, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Our economic model continues to generate an excellent return on investment, and I am confident in our ability to generate increased sales and profits in the future.  We will again be debt free with a solid cash position at December 31, 2005.”

Tuesday Morning will announce fourth quarter sales results on Thursday, January 5, 2006.
