LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tempur Sealy International, Inc. (NYSE: TPX), the world's largest bedding provider, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013. The Company also issued financial guidance for 2014.

FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL SUMMARY

• Earnings per diluted share ("EPS") under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the fourth quarter of 2013 were $0.37 compared to GAAP EPS of $0.39 in the fourth quarter of 2012. The 2013 results reflect transaction and integration costs related to the acquisition of Sealy Corporation ("Sealy"). The Company completed its acquisition of Sealy in March 2013, and results for 2012 do not include Sealy.
• Adjusted EPS were $0.66 in the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to adjusted EPS of $0.60 in the fourth quarter of 2012.
• GAAP net income in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $22.9 million as compared to GAAP net income of $23.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company reported adjusted net income of $41.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to adjusted net income of $36.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. For additional information regarding adjusted EPS and adjusted net income (which are non-GAAP measures), please refer to the reconciliations and other information included in the attached schedules.
• Total net sales increased 98.8% to $678.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 from $341.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The net sales increase was due to the inclusion of $333.5 million of Sealy net sales for the fourth quarter of 2013.
• Gross profit margin was 40.2% as compared to 50.0% in the fourth quarter of 2012. The gross profit margin decreased primarily as a result of the inclusion of Sealy, which has lower margins than the Tempur North America and Tempur International segments, and changes in product mix, offset partially by lower sourcing costs.
• Operating income was $74.1 million as compared to $51.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2013 included $8.2 million of transaction and integration costs related to the Sealy acquisition. The higher operating income reflects the inclusion of Sealy.
• EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $92.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP measure) for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $104.2 million.
• The Company ended the quarter with consolidated funded debt less qualified cash of $1.8 billion. The ratio of consolidated funded debt less qualified cash to adjusted EBITDA was 4.4 times, calculated on a combined basis for Tempur-Pedic and Sealy in accordance with the Company's new senior secured credit facility. For additional information regarding EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and consolidated funded debt less qualified cash (which are non-GAAP measures) please refer to the reconciliations and other information included in the attached schedules.

Tempur Sealy International, Inc. CEO Mark Sarvary commented, "Overall our fourth quarter was in line with our expectations. Sealy's fourth quarter sales were above our expectations and Tempur International returned to growth with sales increases in Europe, Asia and Latin America. Tempur North America showed continued stability with sales down 1% as compared to last year. Our Company accomplished a great deal in 2013 - we successfully completed the Sealy acquisition in March and since then have integrated all of the key functions, which has led to greater cost synergies than initially projected. We enter 2014 unified and coordinated and expect to further execute on each of our four key strategic growth initiatives. Our recent new product introductions in Tempur North America, Sealy and Tempur International  are just a few of the initiatives we have in place to drive growth in 2014."

FULL YEAR FINANCIAL SUMMARY

• GAAP EPS for the full year 2013 were $1.20 compared to GAAP EPS of $1.70 for the full year 2012. The 2013 results include results for Sealy from March 18, 2013, the acquisition date, and also reflect transaction and integration costs related to the acquisition of Sealy, interest fees related to the Company's refinancing of its Term A Facility and Term B loans under its senior secured credit facility, as well as tax provision adjustments related to the repatriation of foreign earnings utilized in connection with the Sealy acquisition. 2012 GAAP EPS reflects the tax expense recorded in connection with the anticipated repatriation of foreign earnings together with certain transaction and integration costs related to the Sealy acquisition, and other restructuring costs.

• Gross profit margin was 41.2% as compared to 50.9% for the full year 2012.

Financial Guidance
The Company issued full year 2014 guidance for net sales, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS.

The Company currently expects the following for 2014:

• Net sales to range from $2.800 billion to $2.900 billion
• Adjusted EBITDA to range from $415 million to $435 million
• Adjusted EPS to range from $2.60 to $2.85 per diluted share, including depreciation and amortization of approximately $0.19 per share associated with the Sealy purchase price allocation ("PPA")

Chief Financial Officer Dale Williams commented, "Our full year 2014 net sales guidance range assumes growth of approximately 1% to 5% compared to 2013, had we owned Sealy for all of 2013. We expect our margins to improve in 2014 resulting from cost synergies and leverage, offset partially by investments in new products, marketing and R&D. In addition, our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS guidance reflects forecasted unfavorable foreign exchange, which is expected to have a negative earnings impact of approximately $9 million, or $0.10 per 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 adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS guidance does not include transaction and integration costs related to the Sealy acquisition.

TEMPUR SEALY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
(In millions, except per common share amounts)

The Company provides information regarding adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA, and consolidated funded debt and consolidated funded debt less qualified cash, which are not recognized terms under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and do not purport to be alternatives to net income as a measure of operating performance or total debt. A reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share is 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 various costs associated with the Sealy acquisition. A reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the Company's net income and a reconciliation of total debt to consolidated funded debt and consolidated funded debt less qualified cash are also provided below. Management believes that the use of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, consolidated funded debt and consolidated funded debt less qualified cash also provides investors with useful information with respect to the terms of the Company's new senior secured credit facility and the Company's compliance with key financial covenants. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted net income

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported GAAP net income for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 to the calculation of adjusted net income for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

 

(1) Redeemable non-controlling interest represents a $4.6 million adjustment to reflect the cash redemption amount of the redeemable non-controlling interest at December 31, 2013.
(2) Transaction and integration represents costs, including legal fees, professional fees and other charges to align the businesses related to the Sealy acquisition.

Reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported GAAP net income to the calculation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2013:

 

The following table sets forth a mathematical combination related to the calculation of adjusted EBITDA in accordance with the Company's new senior secured credit facility. The following table provides useful information about how the senior secured credit facility treats adjusted EBITDA and sets forth a calculation, for the Company and Sealy on a combined basis, of reported GAAP net income to the calculation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2013:

 

(1) Combined includes the mathematical combination of the Company's historical financial results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and Sealy's historical financial results for the pre-acquisition period from December 3, 2012 through March 3, 2013. Results for Sealy for periods prior to the Sealy acquisition do not give effect to any purchase accounting considerations.

This information is presented solely for the purpose of providing information to investors regarding the Company's compliance with certain financial covenants  in its new senior secured credit facility that are based on adjusted EBITDA. This information does not include the pro forma adjustments that would be required under Regulation S-X for pro forma financial information, and does not reflect future events that may occur after December 31, 2013 or any operating efficiencies or inefficiencies that may result from the Sealy acquisition and related financing. Therefore, the information is not necessarily indicative of results that would have been achieved had the businesses been combined during the periods presented or the results that the Company will experience going forward.

Reconciliation of long-term debt to consolidated funded debt less qualified cash

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported debt to the calculation of consolidated funded debt less qualified cash as of December 31, 2013. "Consolidated funded debt" and "qualified cash" are terms used in the Company's new senior secured credit facility for purposes of certain financial covenants.

 

(1) Qualified cash as defined in the credit agreement equals 100.0% of unrestricted domestic cash plus 60.0% of unrestricted foreign cash. For purposes of calculating leverage ratios, qualified cash is capped at $150.0 million.

Calculation of consolidated funded debt less qualified cash to Adjusted EBITDA

 

(1) The Company's new senior secured credit facility includes a financial covenant requiring that the ratio of consolidated funded debt to adjusted EBITDA be less than 5.5 times from March 18, 2013 through September 30, 2013, and less than 5.25 times from October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.
