ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2008 RESULTS

DALLAS, TX – April 29, 2008 — Tuesday Morning Corporation (NASDAQ: TUES) today reported that as previously announced, net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were $178.4 million compared to $189.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of 5.7%.  Comparable store sales decreased 8.2% for the quarter.  The decrease in comparable store sales was comprised of a 6.6% decrease in traffic and a 1.6% decrease in average ticket.  Net loss for the third quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $4.7 million or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.0 million or $0.03 per diluted share last year.

For the nine month period ended March 31, 2008, sales were $688.8 million compared to $704.8 million in for the same period ended March 31, 2007 for a decrease of 2.3%.  Comparable store sales decreased by 6.1% for the nine month period.  The decrease in comparable store sales was comprised of a 5.2% decrease in traffic and a 0.9% decrease in average ticket.  For the nine month period ended March 31, 2008, net income was $17.0 million or $0.41 per diluted share compared to 2007 results of net income of $28.0 million or $0.67 per diluted share.

Kathleen Mason, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We believe the results are indicative of the slump in the home furnishings sector, not a deterioration in the company’s execution.  The sharp drop in home prices has brought home starts and remodels to a standstill.   Record high fuel prices and rising food prices, along with the drop in home values have restricted disposable income, resulting in exceptionally low consumer confidence. The flexibility of our format will enable us to continue generating positive cash flows and long term profitability.”

Guidance

Guidance for the fiscal year 2008 ending on June 30, 2008 is as follows:

·net sales are projected to be in the range of $895 million to $910 million;

·comparable store sales are projected to be in the negative mid single digits; and

·diluted earnings per share projected to be in the range of $0.38 to $0.45.

Tuesday Morning management will review third quarter fiscal 2008 financial results in a teleconference call on April 29, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
