We continued to invest in industry-leading product innovation and advertising spend, expand our manufacturing capacity, drive omni-channel expansion worldwide, and execute on our balanced capital allocation strategy. As we enter 2023, we expect success across our brand, product, and omnichannel initiatives to deliver growth on both the top and bottom line as the industry experiences a stable but subdued demand environment."

Business Segment Highlights: Fourth Quarter 2022

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 decreased 12.2% to $932.3 million as compared to $1,062.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. This decline was primarily driven by macroeconomic pressures impacting U.S. consumer behavior. Gross margin was 37.4% as compared to 41.6% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted gross margin⁽¹⁾ was 37.9% in the fourth quarter of 2022. There were no adjustments to gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2021. Operating margin was 14.6% as compared to 21.6% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted operating margin⁽¹⁾ was 15.1% in the fourth quarter of 2022. There were no adjustments to operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2021.

North America net sales through the wholesale channel decreased $123.7 million, or 13.2%, to $812.9 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. North America net sales through the direct channel decreased $6.1 million, or 4.9%, to $119.4 million, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.

North America adjusted gross margin⁽¹⁾ declined 370 basis points as compared to gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily driven by operational headwinds and unfavorable mix related to the prior year Tempur-Pedic sales order backlog reduction. These declines were partially offset by pricing actions to offset commodity inflation. North America adjusted operating margin⁽¹⁾ declined 650 basis points as compared to the operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily driven by the decline in gross margin and operating expense deleverage.

International net sales decreased 14.3% to $255.1 million as compared to $297.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. This decline was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign exchange. On a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾, International net sales decreased 2.1% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Gross margin was 55.2% as compared to 54.8% in the fourth quarter of 2021.

International gross margin improved 40 basis points as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The improvement was primarily driven by pricing actions to offset commodity inflation, partially offset by unfavorable mix. International adjusted operating margin⁽¹⁾ improved 50 basis points as compared to the operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2021. The improvement was primarily driven by the improvement in gross margin and operating expense leverage, partially offset by Asia joint venture performance.

Corporate operating expense increased to $40.8 million as compared to $38.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Corporate adjusted operating expense⁽¹⁾ was $36.8 in the fourth quarter of 2022. There were no adjustments to operating expense in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Consolidated net income decreased 42.2% to $101.7 million as compared to $175.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ decreased 45.3% to $96.2 million as compared to $175.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. EPS decreased 35.2% to $0.57 as compared to $0.88 in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit, on a net basis, of $12.3 million related to its Danish tax matter in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Danish tax authority and the IRS agreed on a preliminary framework to conclude the Company's Danish tax matter for the years 2012 through 2024.

The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2022 with total debt and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash⁽¹⁾ of $2.8 billion. Leverage based on the ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash⁽¹⁾ to adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾  was 3.10 times for the year ended December 31, 2022.

During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 1.0 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $30.2 million. Over the last twelve months, the Company has repurchased 19.6 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $667.4 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $750 million available under its existing share repurchase authorization.

Additionally, today the Company announced that its Board of Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend by 10% to $0.11 per share. This is the third increase to the dividend in the last three years. The dividend is payable on March 9, 2023 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 23, 2023.

Financial Guidance

For the full year 2023, the Company currently expects adjusted EPS⁽¹⁾ between $2.60 to $2.80. This contemplates the Company's current sales outlook for mid single digit year-over-year growth.

Company Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson commented, "We are pleased to issue 2023 guidance that targets growth on both the top and bottom line. This contemplates Tempur Sealy's continued outperformance across the bedding industry worldwide driven by our key product, brand, and omni-channel initiatives. Our strong competitive position continues to provide us growth opportunities."

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. The Company is unable to reconcile forward–looking adjusted EPS, a non–GAAP financial measure, to EPS, 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 EPS in 2023.

The call will be webcast and can be accessed on the Company's investor relations website at investor.tempursealy.com.

Summary of Channel Sales

The following table highlights net sales information, by channel and by business segment, for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021:

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, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income (expense), adjusted operating margin, 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, gross profit, gross margin, operating income (expense) and operating margin as a measure of operating performance 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 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 reported net income to adjusted net income and the calculation of adjusted EPS are 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 December 31, 2022 and 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 progress in reducing its 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Please refer to Footnotes at the end of this release.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported net income to the calculations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 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 twelve months ended December 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 3.10 times for the trailing twelve months ended December 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 December 31, 2022. "Consolidated Indebtedness" and "Netted Cash" are terms used in the 2019 Credit Agreement for purposes of certain financial covenants.
