TUESDAY MORNING CORPORATION
ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2006 RESULTS

DALLAS, TX — February 27, 2007 — Tuesday Morning Corporation (NASDAQ: TUES) today reported that as previously announced, net sales for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $321.3 million compared to $335.2 million in 2005, a decrease of 4.2%.  For the full year ended December 31, 2006, net sales were $911.1 million down from $931.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 representing a decrease of 2.2%.  Comparable store sales decreased 9.8% and 7.9% for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2006, respectively.

“The home related retail sector is still operating in a difficult environment.  The flexibility and focus of our operations and merchandising allowed us to complete 2006 with a strong cash position, positive operating income and no debt,” said Kathleen Mason, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “As we move into 2007, we will remain focused on maximizing operating income.”

Net income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006 was $23.8 million or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $35.6 million or $0.85 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2005, a decrease of $11.7 million or $0.28 per diluted share.  For the full year ended December 31, 2006, net income was $36.4 million or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to $61.0 million or $1.46 per share in the same prior-year period, a decrease of $24.5 million or $0.59 per diluted share.




For the year ended December 31, 2005, net income and diluted earnings per share for the prior-year, excluding the after-tax lease adjustment recorded in the first quarter of 2005 were $63.4 million and $1.52 per diluted share.   On a non-GAAP basis, adjusting for recognition of stock compensation expense, diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2006 were $0.59 and $0.94, respectively.  Please see the attached table for reconciliation.

Guidance for the fiscal year 2007 is as follows:

·                  net sales are projected to be in the range of $975 to $985 million;

·                  comparable store sales are projected to be flat to negative 2.0%; and

·                  diluted earnings per share projected to be in the range of $0.85 to $0.90.

Tuesday Morning management will review fourth quarter and full year financial results in a teleconference call on February 27, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

Note:

The      above schedule reconciles non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.  Non-GAAP net income per share should not be considered as an alternative to net income per share or other GAAP financial measurements as an indicator of our operating performance.

The      GAAP rent adjustment represents a one-time, non-cash cumulative adjustment to record GAAP rent in the first quarter of 2005 to properly reflect pre-opening or build-out periods of our stores prior to January 1, 2005.  This correction of accounting practices was made in light of the views of the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission expressed in a letter of February 7, 2005 to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants regarding the application of generally accepted accounting principles to operating lease accounting matters.

The      Company adopted FAS 123(R), Shared Based Payment, in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.  This accounting standard requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value over the requisite service period.  The Company has applied the provisions of the modified prospective transition method in the first quarter of 2006. The Company did not record any stock-based compensation expense in 2005.

Management believes that comparative analysis of operating trends is enhanced by adjusting for these items in order to provide investors with a view of the Company’s operating performance in a manner similar to the method used by management to track performance from period-to-period and improve the investor’s ability to understand underlying trends in the Company’s operations. Because the GAAP rent adjustment is a one-time adjustment, it is not indicative of operating performance for the applicable period, nor should it be used in developing trend analysis for future periods.  Because stock compensation expense was not recorded in 2005, excluding the impact of stock compensation expense in the current year provides enhanced comparability to the prior year.
