On a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾, total net sales increased 19.8%, with an increase of 5.5% in the North America business segment and an increase of 98.6% in the International business segment, primarily driven by the acquisition of Dreams in August 2021.

• Gross margin was 42.2% as compared to 44.0% in the first quarter of 2021.

• Operating income increased to $188.6 million as compared to $188.4 million in the first quarter of 2021.

• Net income increased to $130.7 million as compared to $130.5 million in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ was $134.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. There were no adjustments to net income in the first quarter of 2022.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Company Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson commented, "The team's strong execution in the first quarter resulted in net sales growth of 19% and EPS growth of 11% compared to the same period last year, despite headwinds from macroeconomic matters such as recent geopolitical events, falling consumer confidence and new COVID-19 variant outbreaks. In challenging times like these, our iconic brands, complementary products, global footprint and industry-leading financial strength position the Company well relative to competition. We believe that these competitive advantages resulted in continued global market share gains in the first quarter. We are continuing to invest in various initiatives this year, including expanding our manufacturing capabilities, growing our direct to consumer channel both online and in-store, and transitioning to an enhanced ERP system. These investments will position the Company well to drive long-term growth."

Business Segment Highlights

The Company's business segments include North America and International. Corporate operating expenses are not included in either of the business segments and are presented separately as a reconciling item to consolidated results.

North America net sales increased 5.4% to $931.4 million as compared to $883.3 million in the first quarter of 2021. On a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾, North America net sales increased 5.5% as compared to the first quarter of 2021. Gross margin was 37.8% as compared to 41.2% in the first quarter of 2021. Operating margin was 16.7% as compared to 19.6% in the first quarter of 2021.

North America net sales through the wholesale channel increased $45.8 million, or 6.0%, to $811.3 million, as compared to the first quarter of 2021. North America net sales through the direct channel increased $2.3 million, or 2.0%, to $120.1 million, as compared to the first quarter of 2021.

North America gross margin declined 340 basis points as compared to gross margin in the first quarter of 2021. The decline was driven by pricing benefit to sales with no improvement in gross margin and operational inefficiencies related to supply chain constraints, partially offset by favorable mix. North America operating margin declined 290 basis points as compared to operating margin in the first quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily driven by the decline in gross margin, partially offset by operating expense leverage.

International net sales increased 92.0% to $308.1 million as compared to $160.5 million in the first quarter of 2021. On a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾, International net sales increased 98.6% as compared to the first quarter of 2021. Gross margin was 55.3% as compared to 59.2% in the first quarter of 2021. Operating margin was 21.7% as compared to 28.8% in the first quarter of 2021.

International net sales through the wholesale channel decreased $3.1 million, or 2.7%, to $112.8 million as compared to the first quarter of 2021. International net sales through the direct channel increased $150.7 million, or 337.9%, to $195.3 million as compared to the first quarter of 2021, primarily driven by the acquisition of Dreams in August 2021.

International gross margin declined 390 basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily driven by the acquisition of Dreams and pricing benefit to sales with no improvement in gross margin. Dreams' margin profile is lower than our historical International margins as they sell a variety of products across a range of price points. International operating margin declined 710 basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily driven by the decline in gross margin and operating expense deleverage.

Corporate operating expense increased to $33.6 million as compared to $31.2 million in the first quarter of 2021, primarily driven by ERP implementation costs.

Consolidated net income increased to $130.7 million as compared to $130.5 million in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ was $134.6 million in the first quarter of 2021. There were no adjustments to net income in the first quarter of 2022. EPS increased 11.3% to $0.69 as compared to $0.62 in the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted EPS⁽¹⁾ was $0.64 in the first quarter of 2021. There were no adjustments to EPS in the first quarter of 2022.

The Company ended the first quarter of 2022 with total debt of $2.7 billion and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash⁽¹⁾ of $2.6 billion. Leverage based on the ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash⁽¹⁾ to adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was 2.25 times for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2022.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 13.2 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $494.8 million. Over the last twelve months, the Company has repurchased 24.3 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $998.0 million. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $951.5 million available under its existing share repurchase authorization.

Additionally, today the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of 10 cents per share, payable on May 26, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 12, 2022.

Financial Guidance

The Company has updated its earnings guidance for the full year 2022, and currently expects EPS between $3.20 to $3.40. This contemplates the Company's current sales outlook for year-over-year growth of at least 10% driven by pricing actions to neutralize commodity cost inflation and the acquisition of Dreams.

The Company noted that 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.

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

The Company provides information regarding adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, consolidated indebtedness and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash, which are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income, earnings per share, or an alternative to total debt as a measure of liquidity. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with performance measures that better reflect the Company's underlying operations and trends, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income, gross profit, gross margin, operating income (expense) and operating margin. The adjustments management makes to derive the non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments to exclude items that may cause short-term fluctuations in the nearest GAAP financial measure, but which management does not consider to be the fundamental attributes or primary drivers of the Company's business.

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 to provide continuity to investors for comparability purposes. Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures include that these measures do not present all of the amounts associated with the Company's results as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be construed as more significant than comparable financial 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 financial measures and a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial 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, earnings or other historical financial information on a "constant currency basis," which is a non-GAAP financial measure. These references to constant currency 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 reported net income to adjusted net income and the 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 reported net income to adjusted net income and the calculation of adjusted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Gross Profit, Gross Margin, Operating Income (Expense) and Operating Margin

The following table sets forth the Company's reported gross profit and reported operating income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company had no adjustments to gross profit or operating income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

The following table sets forth the Company's reported gross profit and operating income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The Company had no adjustments to gross profit or operating income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated Indebtedness less Netted Cash

The following reconciliations are provided below:

• Net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA

• Ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA

• Total debt, net to consolidated indebtedness less netted cash

Management believes that presenting these non-GAAP measures provides investors with useful information with respect to the Company's operating performance, cash flow generation and comparisons from period to period, as well as general information about the Company's leverage.

The Company's credit agreement (the "2019 Credit Agreement") provides the definition of adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, the Company presents adjusted EBITDA to provide information regarding the Company's compliance with requirements under the 2019 Credit Agreement.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported net income to the calculations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's net income to the calculations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2022:

Under the 2019 Credit Agreement, the definition of adjusted EBITDA contains certain restrictions that limit adjustments to net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA. For the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2022, the Company's adjustments to net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA did not exceed the allowable amount under the 2019 Credit Agreement.

The ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA is 2.25 times for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2022. The 2019 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA of less than 5.00:1.00 times.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported total debt to the calculation of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash as of March 31, 2022. "Consolidated Indebtedness" and "Netted Cash" are terms used in the 2019 Credit Agreement for purposes of certain financial covenants.
