Tempur Sealy Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson stated, "
Capital Allocation
The Company's long-term capital allocation strategy focuses on four areas: repurchasing shares, debt management, investing in operations and accretive acquisitions. The Company today shared additional details on its plan.
The Company is:
- Targeting share repurchases of approximately
$280 million for 2020, including approximately$100 million in share repurchases in the fourth quarter. - Intending to redeem in the first quarter of 2021
$125 million of the$250 million outstanding on the Company's Senior Notes due 2023, funded by lower cost long-term debt. - Planning to invest an incremental
$150 million over the next three years to support growth initiatives. The Company plans to expand its three existing foam facilities and open one new state-of-the-art foam facility in theU.S. This initiative is expected to increaseU.S. pouring capacity for Tempur material and base foam by approximately 50%.
Thompson continued, "Our commitment to serving consumers wherever and however they want to shop with the highest quality products and service has fueled strong demand for our industry leading Tempur-Pedic and Sealy brands and our rapidly growing OEM business. We expect the industry, and specifically the Company's business, to continue to expand. The new capacity will ensure that we can fully meet the consumer's demand for our products across the multitude of channels we serve: wholesale, direct to consumer, and OEM.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements that may be characterized as "forward-looking," within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Such statements might include information concerning one or more of the Company's plans, guidance, objectives, goals, strategies, and other information that is not historical information. When used in this release, the words "estimates," "expects," "targets," "intends," "plans," "will" 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 supply chain constraints, the Company's expectations regarding net sales and adjusted EBITDA growth in the fourth quarter, performance generally for 2020 and subsequent periods and the Company's plans regarding share repurchases, redemption of the Senior Notes due 2023, and operational expansions. Any forward-looking statements contained herein 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 any that may be expressed herein as forward-looking statements. These risk factors include the risk factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in Part I, ITEM 1A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA as used in connection with the Company's fourth quarter of 2020 outlook is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability. The Company is unable to reconcile this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to 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 net income in the fourth quarter of 2020 but would not impact adjusted EBITDA. Such items may include restructuring activities, foreign currency exchange rates, income taxes and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's fourth quarter of 2020 GAAP financial results.
