Tempur Sealy Reports First Quarter 2014 Results

LEXINGTON, Ky., May 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tempur Sealy International, Inc. (NYSE: TPX), the world's largest bedding provider, today announced financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2014. The Company also announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Sealy® brand rights in Continental Europe (excluding UK) from its former licensee. The Company confirmed financial guidance for 2014.

FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL SUMMARY

• Earnings per diluted share ("EPS") under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the first quarter of 2014 were $0.44 compared to GAAP EPS of $0.20 in the first quarter of 2013. The 2013 and 2014 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 the first quarter of 2013 include Sealy's operations from March 18, 2013 through March 31, 2013.
• Adjusted EPS were $0.53 in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to adjusted EPS of $0.62 in the first quarter of 2013.
• GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2014 was $27.4 million as compared to GAAP net income of $12.5 million for the first quarter of 2013. The Company reported adjusted net income of $32.6 million for the first quarter of 2014 as compared to adjusted net income of $38.2 million for the first quarter of 2013. 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 79.9% to $701.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 from $390.1 million in the first quarter of 2013. The net sales increase was due to a full quarter of Sealy net sales in the first quarter of 2014 of $363.2 million as compared to $46.7 million in the first quarter of 2013, which included the period of March 18, 2013 through March 31, 2013.
• Gross profit margin was 38.4% as compared to 48.3% in the first quarter of 2013. The gross profit margin decreased primarily as a result of the inclusion of a full quarter for the Sealy business, which has lower margins than the Tempur North America and Tempur International segments, as well as changes in product and channel mix and higher new product launch costs, offset partially by geographic mix and lower sourcing costs.
• Operating income was $62.4 million as compared to $44.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. Operating income in the first quarter of 2014 included $7.4 million of integration costs related to the Sealy acquisition. Operating income in the first quarter of 2013 included $16.0 million of transaction and integration costs. The higher operating income reflects a full quarter of Sealy results in the first quarter of 2014.
• EBITDA for the first quarter of 2014 was $85.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP measure) for the first quarter of 2014 was $91.4 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 4.6 times, calculated in accordance with the Company's 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 first quarter was in line with our expectations. The majority of our 2014 initiatives have just begun, and we remain confident that they will drive growth in 2014. We are also excited about our recently announced acquisitions of Sealy brand rights in Japan and in Continental Europe.  Both of these transactions represent significant future growth opportunities."

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 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  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 March 31, 2014 and 2013 to the calculation of adjusted net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Interest expense also includes the write-off of deferred financing costs.

(4)   Adjustment of taxes to normalized rate represents adjustments associated with the tax impacts of transaction costs.

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 twelve months ended March 31, 2014 in accordance with the Company's senior secured credit facility.

This information is presented solely for the purpose of providing information to investors regarding the Company's compliance with certain financial covenants  in its senior secured credit facility that are based on adjusted EBITDA.

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 March 31, 2014. "Consolidated funded debt" and "qualified cash" are terms used in the Company's 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 ratio of consolidated debt less qualified cash to adjusted EBITDA was 4.6 times, within our covenant, which requires this ratio be less than 5.00 times from January 1, 2014 through March 31, 2014. For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the covenant requires a ratio of less than 4.75 times.
