Tempur-Pedic Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year Earnings

LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan 26, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- Tempur-Pedic International Inc. (NYSE: TPX), the leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of premium mattresses and pillows worldwide, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009. The Company also announced a $100 million share repurchase program and confirmed its financial guidance for 2010.

FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL SUMMARY

  • Earnings per share (EPS) were $0.38 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to adjusted EPS of $0.17 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2008. GAAP EPS in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $0.01, and reflects the $11.6 million tax provision related to the Company's repatriation of foreign earnings. The Company reported net income of $29.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to adjusted net income of $12.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $1.1 million. For additional information regarding adjusted EPS and adjusted net income (which are non-GAAP measures), please refer to the reconciliation and other information included in the attached schedule.
  • Net sales increased 29% to $244.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 from $189.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased 24%. Net sales in the domestic segment increased 40%, while international segment net sales increased 15%. On a constant currency basis, international segment net sales increased 3%.
  • Mattress sales increased 26% globally. Mattress sales increased 34% in the domestic segment and 12% in the international segment. On a constant currency basis, international mattress sales were essentially unchanged. Pillow sales increased 23% globally. Pillow sales increased 39% domestically and 13% internationally. On a constant currency basis, international pillow sales increased 1%.
  • Gross profit margin was 48.5% as compared to 43.0% in the fourth quarter of 2008. The gross profit margin increased as a result of improved efficiencies in manufacturing, lower commodity costs, fixed cost leverage related to higher production volumes and improved pricing, partially offset by geographic mix and new product introductions.
  • Operating profit margin was 19.3% as compared to 13.4% in the fourth quarter of 2008.
  • The Company generated $14.6 million of operating cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2009.
  • During the quarter, the Company reduced Total debt by $17.5 million to $297.5 million. As of December 31, 2009, the Company's ratio of Funded debt to EBITDA was 1.68 times, well within the covenant in its credit facility, which requires that this ratio not exceed 3.00 times. For additional information about EBITDA and Funded debt (which are non-GAAP measures) please refer to the reconciliation and other information included in the attached schedule.

FULL YEAR 2009 FINANCIAL SUMMARY

  • Earnings per share (EPS) were $1.12 per diluted share for the full year 2009 as compared to adjusted EPS of $0.94 per diluted share for the full year 2008. GAAP EPS was $0.79 for the full year 2008, and includes the $11.6 million tax provision related to the repatriation of foreign earnings.
  • Net sales declined 10% to $831.2 million for the full year 2009 from $927.8 million for the full year 2008. On a constant currency basis, net sales declined 9%. Net sales in the domestic segment declined 8%, while international segment net sales declined 14%. On a constant currency basis, international segment net sales declined 11%.
  • Gross profit margin was 47.4% for the full year 2009 as compared to 43.2% for the full year 2008. The gross profit margin increased as a result of improved efficiencies in manufacturing, lower commodity costs, and improved pricing, partially offset by fixed cost de-leverage related to lower production volumes.
  • Operating profit margin was 17.4% as compared to 14.4% for the full year 2008.
  • For the full year 2009, the Company lowered Total debt by $121.9 million to $297.5 million.

Chief Executive Officer Mark Sarvary commented, "Our fourth quarter and full year results reflect a gradual improvement in the macro environment together with success from sales and marketing initiatives. Our recent product introductions and our new advertising campaign combined with continued productivity improvements should allow us to build on this performance in 2010."

Chief Financial Officer Dale Williams commented, "With respect to the authorization of a new share repurchase program, we note that during 2009 we substantially reduced both our total debt and leverage ratio. We view share repurchases as an excellent means to return value to stockholders over the long term."

Share Repurchase Program

The Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of shares of the Company's common stock. Stock repurchases under this program may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchases or otherwise, at times and in such amounts as management and a committee of the Board deem appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, financing and regulatory requirements and other market conditions. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. This share repurchase program replaces the Company's prior share repurchase authorization, and may be limited, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice.

Financial Guidance

The Company confirmed its full year 2010 guidance for net sales and earnings per share. It currently expects net sales for 2010 to range from $950 million to $970 million. It currently expects EPS for 2010 to range from $1.40 to $1.50 per diluted share. The Company noted its expectations are based on information available at the time of this release, and are subject to changing conditions, many of which are outside the Company's control. The Company noted its EPS guidance does not assume any benefit from a potential reduction in shares outstanding related to its share repurchase program.

                    (In thousands, except per common share amounts)


The Company provides information regarding Adjusted Net income, Adjusted Earnings per share, EBITDA and Funded debt which are not recognized terms under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and do not purport to be alternatives to Net income as a measure of operating performance or Total debt. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net income, Adjusted Earnings per share and EBITDA to the Company's Net income and Earnings per share and a reconciliation of Funded debt to Total debt are provided below. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional useful information with respect to the impact of the repatriation of foreign earnings. Management also believes that the use of EBITDA and Funded debt provides investors with useful information with respect to the terms of the Company's credit facility.
