North America adjusted gross margin(1) improved 60 basis points to 39.5% as compared to 38.9% in the fourth quarter of 2015. Gross margin improvements were primarily driven by operational improvements, pricing actions, and favorable mix, partially offset by product launch costs. North America adjusted operating margin(1) declined to 16.7% as compared to 16.8% in the fourth quarter of 2015 primarily driven by increased product launch expense.

International net sales decreased 6.2% to $146.1 million from $155.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. On a constant currency basis(1), International net sales increased 0.9%.

International adjusted gross margin(1) increased 150 basis points to 51.3% as compared to 49.8% in the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by operational improvements and channel mix. International adjusted operating margin(1) increased to 22.2% as compared to 20.0% in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily driven by improved gross margin and lower operating expenses.

Corporate GAAP operating expense decreased 26.2% to $22.0 million from $29.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recorded $1.6 million of restructuring costs and $3.8 million of benefit related to performance-based stock compensation.

Financial Guidance

For the full year 2017, the Company currently expects adjusted EBITDA(1) to range from $400 million to $450 million, which includes approximately $15 million of unfavorable commodity inflation and $12 million of unfavorable foreign currency impact.

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 also noted that its 2017 outlook for adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability.  The Company further noted that it is unable to reconcile this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP net income, its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, without unreasonable efforts, because the Company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP net income in 2017 but would not impact adjusted EBITDA. These items that impact comparability may include restructuring activities, the impact of the recent termination of contracts with Mattress Firm, foreign currency exchange rates, income taxes, and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s full year 2017 GAAP financial results.

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.

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, regulatory or investigation proceedings; changing commodity costs; the effect of future legislative or regulatory changes; and disruptions to the implementation of the Company's strategic priorities and business plan caused by abrupt changes in the Company's senior management team and Board of Directors.

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

The Company provides information regarding adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income (expense), adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, consolidated funded debt and consolidated funded debt less qualified cash, which are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income and earnings per share as a measure of operating performance or total debt. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with performance measures that better reflect the Company's underlying operations and trends, including trends in changes in margin and operating expenses, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income and operating income. The adjustments management makes to derive the non-GAAP measures include adjustments to exclude items that may cause short-term fluctuations in the nearest GAAP measure, but which management does not consider to be the fundamental attributes or primary drivers of its business, including restructuring costs associated with headcount reductions and store closures, stock compensation benefits representing changes in estimate to reduce accumulated performance based stock compensation amortization, costs associated with the completion of the 2016 Credit Agreement and 2026 Senior Notes offering in the second quarter of 2016, costs associated with its 2013 acquisition of Sealy Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Sealy Acquisition") and the exclusion of other costs associated with the 2015 Annual Meeting (including executive management transition and retention compensation), legal settlements, and other costs.

The Company believes that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying results from continuing operations and trends, and management uses these measures along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the Company’s business, to evaluate its consolidated and business segment performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, to establish operational goals and management incentive goals, and to provide continuity to investors for comparability purposes. Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP measures include that these measures do not present all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP and these non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be construed as more significant than comparable measures defined by GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For more information about these non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure, please refer to the reconciliations on the following pages.

Constant Currency Information

In this press release the Company refers to, and in other press releases and other communications with investors the Company may refer to, net sales or earnings or other historical financial information on a “constant currency basis," which is a non-GAAP financial measure. These references to constant currency basis do not include operational impacts that could result from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. To provide information on a constant currency basis, the applicable financial results are adjusted based on a simple mathematical model that translates current period results in local currency using the comparable prior corresponding period’s currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries where the functional currency is the local country currency. This information is provided so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of business performance.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS

A reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted net income and a calculation of adjusted EPS 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 adjustments as described in the footnotes at the end of this release.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company’s GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted net income and a calculation of adjusted EPS for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Under the Company's 2016 Credit Agreement, adjusted EBITDA contains certain restrictions that limit adjustments to GAAP net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company's adjustments to GAAP net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA did not exceed the allowable amount under the 2016 Credit Agreement.

The ratio of adjusted EBITDA under the Company's 2016 Credit Agreement to consolidated funded debt less qualified cash is 3.60 times for the trailing twelve months ending December 31, 2016. The Company's current senior credit facility (the "2016 Credit Agreement") requires the Company to maintain a ratio of consolidated funded debt less qualified cash to Adjusted EBITDA of less than 5.00:1.00 times.

Please refer to Footnotes at the end of this release.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported total debt to the calculation of consolidated funded debt less qualified cash as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. "Consolidated funded debt" and "qualified cash" are terms used in the Company's 2016 Credit Agreement and the Company's prior senior credit facility (the "2012 Credit Agreement") for purposes of certain financial covenants.
