TEMPUR SEALY REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

– Reports Third Quarter GAAP EPS of $0.65; Adjusted EPS of $0.73
– Tempur North America Third Quarter Sales Improve

LEXINGTON, KY, November 6, 2013 – Tempur Sealy International, Inc. (NYSE: TPX), the world’s largest bedding provider, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company also confirmed financial guidance for 2013.

THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL SUMMARY
·
Earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the third quarter of 2013 were $0.65 compared to GAAP EPS of ($0.03) in the third quarter of 2012. The 2013 results reflect transaction and integration costs related to the acquisition of Sealy Corporation (“Sealy”) and interest fees related to the Company’s refinancing of its Term A Facility under its senior secured credit facility. The 2012 loss reflects tax charges related to the Sealy acquisition.
 
· Adjusted EPS were $0.73 in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to adjusted EPS of $0.70 in the third quarter of 2012. The Company completed its acquisition of Sealy in March 2013, and results for 2012 do not include Sealy.
 
· GAAP net income in the third quarter of 2013 was $40.2 million as compared to a GAAP net loss of $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2012. The Company reported adjusted net income of $44.9 million for the third quarter of 2013 as compared to adjusted net income of $42.3 million for the third 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 111.4% to $735.5 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $347.9 million in the third quarter of 2012. The net sales increase was due to the inclusion of $389.9 million of Sealy net sales for the third quarter of 2013.

· Gross profit margin was 40.6% as compared to 49.2% in the third 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 $81.2 million as compared to $63.4 million in the third quarter of 2012. Operating income in the third quarter of 2013 included $8.5 million of transaction and integration costs related to the Sealy acquisition. The higher operating income reflects the inclusion of Sealy.

· Adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP measure) for the third quarter of 2013 was $115.5 million. EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP measure) for the third quarter of 2012 was $69.3 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 4.3 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 third quarter was in line with our expectations. The steps we have taken to improve Tempur North America’s performance showed progress and led to a slight sales increase during the quarter. Our Sealy business also showed growth during the quarter. However, Tempur International results were slightly below our plan due to continued weakness in Europe. The integration with Sealy continues to progress well, cost synergies continue to track to our plan, and we remain very excited about our ability to capture significant revenue synergies.”

Business Segment Highlights
The Company’s business segments include Tempur North America, Tempur International, and Sealy. The Company’s “Bedding” product sales include mattresses, foundations, and adjustable foundations and “Other products” include pillows and various other comfort products and components.

Tempur North America net sales increased 0.6% to $242.4 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $240.9 million in the third quarter of 2012.  Bedding net sales increased 0.2% to $220.6 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $220.1 million in the third quarter of 2012. Net sales of Other products increased 4.8% to $21.8 million from $20.8 million in the third quarter of 2012.

Tempur International net sales decreased 3.6% to $103.2 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $107.0 million in the third quarter of 2012.  Bedding net sales decreased 4.7% to $76.5 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $80.3 million in the third quarter of 2012.

The following guidance commentary reflects current expectations with respect to a full year of Tempur-Pedic results and Sealy results from March 18, 2013:

Forward-looking Statements
This release contains "forward-looking statements,” within the meaning of federal securities laws, which include information concerning one or more of the Company's plans, objectives, goals, strategies, and other information that is not historical information. When used in this release, the words "estimates," "expects," “guidance,” "anticipates," "projects," "plans," “proposed,” "intends," "believes," and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to the Company’s expectations regarding ongoing efforts to improve performance in the Tempur North America segment, integration, cost synergies, revenue synergies and growth, and expectations regarding the Company’s net sales, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS for 2013 and related assumptions. All forward looking statements are based upon current expectations and beliefs and various assumptions. There can be no assurance that the Company will realize these expectations or that these beliefs will prove correct.

Numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed as forward-looking statements. These risk factors include risks associated with the Company’s new capital structure and increased debt level; the ability to successfully integrate Sealy into the Company’s operations and realize cost and revenue synergies and other benefits from the transaction; general economic, financial and industry conditions, particularly in the retail sector, as well as consumer confidence and the availability of consumer financing; changes in interest rates; uncertainties arising from global events; the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on the Company’s reported earnings; consumer acceptance of the Company’s products; industry competition; the efficiency and effectiveness of the Company’s advertising campaigns and other marketing programs; the Company’s ability to increase sales productivity within existing retail accounts and to further penetrate the Company’s retail channel, including the timing of opening or expanding within large retail accounts and the timing of product launches; the Company’s ability to expand brand awareness, distribution and new products; the Company’s ability to continuously improve and expand its product line, maintain efficient, timely and cost-effective production and delivery of its products, and manage its growth; the effects of strategic investments on the Company’s  operations; changes in foreign tax rates and changes in tax laws generally, including the ability to utilize tax loss carry forwards; the outcome of various pending tax audits or other tax proceedings; changing commodity costs; the risk that the Company’s final  purchase price allocation relating to the Sealy acquisition could be significantly different from the Company’s initial estimated purchase price allocation; and the effect of future legislative or regulatory changes.

Additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties are discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 under the headings "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors."

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.

(1) Combined includes the mathematical combination of the Company’s historical financial results for the twelve months ended September 30, 2013 and Sealy’s historical financial results for the pre-acquisition period from August 27, 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 September 30, 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.
