Tempur-Pedic Reports Second Quarter Earnings

LEXINGTON, Ky., July 16, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2009. The Company also confirmed its financial guidance for 2009.

SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL SUMMARY

    --  Earnings per share (EPS) were $0.22 per diluted share in the second
        quarter of 2009 as compared to $0.27 per diluted share in the second
        quarter of 2008. The Company reported net income of $16.9 million for
        the second quarter of 2009 as compared to net income of $20.2 million in
        the second quarter of 2008.

    --  Net sales declined 22% to $185.2 million in the second quarter of 2009
        from $238.7 million in the second quarter of 2008. On a constant
        currency basis, net sales declined 19%. Net sales in the domestic
        segment declined 19%, while international segment net sales declined
        29%. On a constant currency basis, international segment net sales
        declined 19%.

    --  Mattress sales declined 24% globally. Mattress sales declined 20% in the
        domestic segment and 31% in the international segment. On a constant
        currency basis, international mattress sales declined 21%. Pillow sales
        declined 17% globally. Pillow sales declined 12% domestically and 20%
        internationally. On a constant currency basis, international pillow
        sales declined 12%.

    --  Gross profit margin was 46.6% as compared to 44.4% in the second quarter
        of 2008. The gross profit margin increased as a result of lower
        commodity costs, improved efficiencies in manufacturing and improved
        pricing, partially offset by fixed cost de-leverage related to lower
        production volumes.

    --  Operating profit margin was 15.7% as compared to 15.2% in the second
        quarter of 2008. The Company reduced operating expenses by $12.5 million
        to $57.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 from $69.7 million in the
        second quarter of 2008.

    --  Reflecting the Company's continued focus on generating cash, the
        Company generated $39.5 million of operating cash flow in the second
        quarter of 2009.

    --  During the quarter, the Company reduced Total debt by $31.0 million to
        $369.0 million and increased cash by $3.8 million to $25.0. As of June
        30, 2009, the Company's ratio of Funded debt to EBITDA was 2.29
        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.

Chief Executive Officer Mark Sarvary commented, "During the second quarter, our initiatives to drive sales and margins continued to show progress. Our productivity projects helped us expand gross margins with improvement compared to last year and last quarter. Our focus on cash flow continued to display the strength of our business model as we lowered debt $31 million during the quarter. We believe we are well positioned for growth when the economy recovers."

2009 Financial Guidance

The Company confirmed its prior guidance ranges for EPS and net sales for full year 2009. The Company continues to expect EPS to range from $0.70 to $0.90 per diluted share. The Company continues to expect net sales to range from $700 million to $740 million. 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 provides information regarding 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 EBITDA to the Company's Net income and reconciliation of Funded debt to Total debt are provided below. Management 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.
