EXHIBIT INDEX ------------- Exhibit No. Description - ----------- ----------- 99.1 Press Release, August 25, 2006

                                                                    Exhibit 99.1

Conn's, Inc. Reports Preliminary Earnings for the Quarter and Six Months
 Ended July 31, 2006 and Announces Adoption of Stock Repurchase Program

    BEAUMONT, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 25, 2006--Conn's, Inc.
(NASDAQ/NM:CONN), a specialty retailer of home appliances, consumer
electronics, computers, mattresses, furniture and lawn and garden
products, today announced preliminary earnings estimates for the
quarter and six months ended July 31, 2006, pending an internal review
of its accounting for its interest in securitized assets. The Company
believes that such assets may be understated by as much as $15
million, and after completion of its review may be required to restate
its financial statements for prior years and the first quarter of this
year. In light of this ongoing review, the Company will withhold the
usual presentation of financial statements in this press release and
instead offer its insight into its estimate and expectation of
earnings per diluted share for the quarter and six months ended July
31, 2006. Additionally, the Company will reschedule its conference
call until after its final earnings are released, which is expected to
be on or before September 8, 2006.
    In its regularly scheduled board meeting on August 24, 2006, the
Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up
to $50 million of the Company's common stock citing the current
valuation of the stock in the marketplace. Such repurchases may be
effected at the discretion of the Company's management from time to
time by open market or privately-negotiated transactions, consistent
with the applicable regulatory and contractual requirements, including
applicable debt covenants and will be dependent on market conditions
and price.
    Diluted earnings per share available for common stockholders are
expected to be in the range of $0.35 to $0.36 for the quarter ending
July 31, 2006. Total revenues for the quarter ended July 31, 2006, are
expected to be in the range of $183.1 million to $183.2 million,
including net sales of $163.6 million and "Finance charges and other"
of between $19.5 million and $19.6 million. Same store sales (revenues
earned in stores operated for the entirety of both periods) increased
7.2% for the second quarter of fiscal 2007.
    Diluted earnings per share available for common stockholders are
expected to be in the range of $0.82 to $0.85 for the six months ended
July 31, 2006. Total revenues for the six months ended July 31, 2006,
are expected to be in the range of $375.2 million to $376.4 million
including net sales of $335.3 million and "Finance charges and other"
of between $39.9 million and $41.1 million. Same store sales (revenues
earned in stores operated for the entirety of both periods) increased
11.7% for the first six months of fiscal 2007.
    As previously disclosed, during the third quarter of fiscal 2006
Hurricane Rita impacted a portion of the Company's retail market area
and the staffing levels of its credit collection operations. This
resulted in higher delinquencies for receivables in the credit
portfolio serviced by the Company and directly affected the Company's
ability to collect delinquent receivables. Delinquencies continue at
higher than expected levels and have produced loan losses greater than
had been previously estimated. The losses affect securitization income
received from the Company's credit subsidiary which are reflected in
"Finance charges and other." In a press release on August 8, 2006, and
a conference call on August 9, 2006, the Company discussed the impact
in more detail and described the operational steps being taken to
address the issue.
    "We have found it necessary to refocus our attention on
fundamentals as we face considerable 'headwinds' in our business, many
of which have resulted from the catastrophic storms of last year,"
said Thomas J. Frank, Conn's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We
have faced similar difficulties in the past and we are up to the
challenge of dealing with them successfully. While our attention may
be focused on the challenges, the business continues to thrive with
positive comps and earnings growth for the year taken as a whole."
    During the first half of the year, the Company opened two new
stores in its Houston market bringing the total store count to 58. By
the end of January 2007, the Company expects to operate approximately
61 to 62 stores.
    The Company expects to have its review and any resulting
restatements completed within the timeframe required by the Securities
and Exchange Commission for the filing of the Company's quarterly
statements. The Company will release its earnings for the quarter and
six months ended July 31, 2006, prior to its filing of Form 10-Q.

    EPS Guidance

    On August 8, 2006, the Company reduced its guidance for fiscal
year 2007 (the year ending January 31, 2007) of earnings per diluted
share from a range of $1.85 to $1.90 to a range of $1.60 to $1.75. The
Company cited changes in its operating environment, most notably
higher loan losses on the finance subsidiary's credit portfolio, for
the reduction in its estimate. The earnings guidance includes the
effect for changes resulting from the required adoption of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, on
February 1, 2006.

    Unlike many of its competitors, the Company provides flexible
in-house credit options for its customers. Historically, it has
financed, on average, approximately 57% of retail sales. Customer
receivables are financed substantially through an asset-backed
securitization facility, from which the Company derives servicing fee
income and interest income. The Company transfers receivables,
consisting of retail installment contracts and revolving accounts for
credit extended to its customers, to a qualifying special purpose
entity in exchange for cash and subordinated securities represented by
asset-backed and variable funding notes issued to third parties.
