EXHIBIT 99.1

Tuesday Morning Corporation Announces Fourth Quarter 2010 and Fiscal Year 2010 Results

DALLAS, Aug. 23, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tuesday Morning Corporation (Nasdaq:TUES) today reported that, as previously announced, net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 were $200.8 million compared to $188.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, an increase of 6.4%. Comparable store sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 increased 6.0% and was comprised of a 5.7% increase in traffic and a 0.3% increase in average ticket. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $1.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or a $0.04 loss per diluted share, for the same period last year. 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, net sales were $828.3 million compared to $801.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2009, an increase of 3.3%. Comparable store sales increased by 2.2% for the fiscal year.  This increase in comparable store sales was comprised of a 3.4% increase in traffic offset by a 1.2% decrease in average ticket. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company had earnings per diluted share of $0.25 versus $0.00 for fiscal 2009.  

Kathleen Mason, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We posted solid improvements in both the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2010 sales and earnings. For the third consecutive quarter, we achieved positive comparable store sales increases. This top-line improvement driven by a steady increase in traffic demonstrates that our customers continue to be attracted to our value proposition. Our focus on expense control, combined with leverage from the increase in sales, yielded a successful reduction in SG&A as a percentage of sales. Our balance sheet has remained strong as we have effectively controlled expenses and managed inventories resulting in higher cash balances. At June 30, 2010, our cash balance was $23.5 million compared to $5.8 million at the same time last year with no outstanding debt year over year. Although the economy is uncertain, we are confident and well positioned as we move into our fiscal 2011 year."

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended June 30, 2010

Gross Profit - Gross profit increased $6.5 million, or 9.2%, to $76.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same quarter last year of $70.1 million. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 38.1% for the quarter compared to 37.2% for the same period in fiscal 2009. This increase in gross profit dollars and percentage was primarily due to the increase in sales volume and better leverage of distribution costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A") - SG&A for the quarter was $73.4 million, or 36.6% of net sales, versus $72.1 million, or 38.2% of net sales, in the same period last year. On a per store basis, SG&A was higher this quarter by 2.3% as compared to last year, which was primarily attributable to expenses associated with higher sales and five fewer stores at year end.

Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2010

Gross Profit - Gross profit increased $17.9 million, or 6.0%, to $314.0 million for fiscal 2010 compared to gross profit last year of $296.1 million, primarily as a result of higher sales volume. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit increased to 37.9% for fiscal 2010 compared to 36.9% in fiscal 2009. This increase of 1.0% in gross profit percentage was primarily due to decreases in markdowns resulting from tighter inventory control as well as decreases in product cost, shrink and improved leverage of our distribution costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses - SG&A for fiscal 2010 was $293.8 million, or 35.5% of net sales, versus $293.7 million, or 36.6% of net sales, for fiscal 2009. On a per store basis, SG&A was slightly higher in fiscal 2010 by less than 0.1% compared to last year, which was primarily attributable to expenses associated with higher sales and five fewer stores at year end.

Balance Sheet

Inventory increased to $239.2 million at June 30, 2010, as compared to inventory of $223.6 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of 7.0%. On a per store basis, inventory was 7.6% higher at the end of fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009. The inventory levels at June 30, 2009 were exceptionally low due to lower demand and timing of receipts. We consider the inventory levels at June 30, 2010 to be appropriate in relation to current demand. Net property and equipment was $72.8 million at the end of fiscal 2010, an increase of $0.4 million compared to the end of fiscal 2009. This increase resulted from capital expenditures exceeding depreciation.

Accounts payable was higher at June 30, 2010 by $15.8 million, or 33.6%, compared to accounts payable at June 30, 2009 primarily due to higher inventory purchases in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. At June 30, 2010 and 2009, we had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Outstanding letters of credit, primarily for insurance programs, were $10.1 million at the end of fiscal 2010 compared to $12.4 million last year. At June 30, 2010, we had availability of $103.3 million and we were in compliance with the terms of our credit facility.

Store Activity

We operated 852 stores in 43 states as of June 30, 2010. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, we opened five stores, relocated five stores and expanded one store. During fiscal year 2010, we opened 26 stores, closed 31 stores, relocated 28 stores and expanded three stores. The states with the largest sales declines continued to be the areas most affected by the deterioration of the housing market such as Florida, California, Nevada and Arizona. 

Fiscal Year 2011 Guidance

We expect the retail environment to continue to be economically uncertain during fiscal 2011. As a result, we have considered such challenges in our forecasts for our fiscal year 2011. Guidance for the full fiscal year ending on June 30, 2011 is as follows:

Net sales    $870 million to $880 million
Comparable store sales    Positive low single digits
Diluted earnings per share    $0.39 to $0.43
Capital expenditures   $17 million 
Change in store count   +18 (870 at fiscal year end)

We plan to continue to relocate, expand and close stores during fiscal 2011 in a manner and quantity consistent with prior years. The relocated stores have historically shown double digit improvement in sales as well as better profit margins. The change in store count reflects growth of approximately 2% as we seek to grow and improve our portfolio of existing stores. Capital spending projected for fiscal 2011 reflects the Company's plan to continue to remodel stores, improve and enhance systems, as well as further streamline the distribution process.
