Company Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson commented, "The investments we have made over the past four years strengthening the long-term foundation of our company investments have enhanced our competitive position. We exited 2019 with all-time record fourth quarter sales, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow. The combination of our powerful omni-channel distribution platform coupled with our market leading brands and products continues to drive market share gains and solid financial performance.  We are carrying our momentum from 2019 forward, and we expect record full-year revenues and over 20% growth in adjusted EBITDA in 2020."

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 36.3% to $719.2 million as compared to $527.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. On a constant currency basis(1), North America net sales increased 36.3% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. Gross margin was 42.3% as compared to 39.2% in the fourth quarter of 2018. Adjusted gross margin(1) was 39.8% in the fourth quarter of 2018. Operating margin was 11.2% as compared to 9.5% in the fourth quarter of 2018. Adjusted operating margin(1) was 16.6% as compared to 14.2% in the fourth quarter of  2018.

North America net sales through the wholesale channel increased $153.8 million, or 31.6%, to $641.0 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, driven primarily by the expansion of our retail distribution network. North America net sales through the direct channel increased $37.8 million, or 93.6%, to $78.2 million, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2018, driven primarily by growth from company-owned stores, which includes the acquisition of Sleep Outfitters. North America net sales through the direct channel, excluding Sleep Outfitters, increased approximately 30% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2018.

North America gross margin improved 250 basis points as compared to adjusted gross margin(1)  in the fourth quarter of 2018. The improvement was driven primarily by favorable brand mix, fixed cost leverage on higher unit volume, and lower commodity costs. These improvements were partially offset by increased floor model expenses. North America adjusted operating margin(1) improved 240 basis points as compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. The improvement in adjusted operating margin was driven primarily by the improvement in gross margin and operating expense leverage, partially offset by increased variable compensation.

International net sales increased 2.4% to $152.1 million as compared to $148.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. On a constant currency basis(1), International net sales increased 4.0% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. Gross margin was 54.2% as compared to 51.5% in the fourth quarter of 2018. Adjusted gross margin(1) was 51.7% in the fourth quarter of 2018. Operating margin was 23.3% as compared to 21.6% in the fourth quarter of 2018. Adjusted operating margin(1) was 24.8% in the fourth quarter of 2018.

International net sales through the wholesale channel decreased $1.4 million, or 1.2%, to $117.9 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. International net sales through the direct channel increased $5.0 million, or 17.1%, to $34.2 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2018.

International gross margin improved 250 basis points as compared to adjusted gross margin(1) in the fourth quarter of 2018. The improvement was driven primarily by country and channel mix. International operating margin declined 150 basis points as compared to adjusted operating margin(1) in the fourth quarter of 2018. The decline was driven primarily by increases in operating expenses, offset by the improvement in gross margin.

Corporate operating expense increased to $31.5 million as compared to $24.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Corporate adjusted operating expense(1) increased to $30.8 million as compared to $20.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by increased variable compensation expense due to the Company performing above targeted expectations.

The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2019 with total debt and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash(1) of $1.5 billion. Leverage based on the ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash(1) to adjusted EBITDA(1) was 2.92 times for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased 0.6 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $50.0 million. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $124.6 million available under its existing share repurchase authorization. In a separate press release issued today, Tempur Sealy International announced that its Board of Directors increased the authorization under the Company's share repurchase program to approximately $300.0 million.

Consolidated net income increased 275.6% to $46.2 million as compared to $12.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. Adjusted net income(1) increased 51.7% to $75.4 million as compared to $49.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. EPS increased 281.8% to $0.84 as compared to $0.22 in the fourth quarter of 2018. Adjusted EPS(1) increased 52.2% to $1.37 as compared to $0.90 in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Financial Guidance

For the full year 2020, the Company currently expects adjusted EBITDA(1) to range from $575 million to $650 million.

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.

Adjusted EBITDA as used in connection with the Company's 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 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 full year 2020 GAAP financial results.

(1) This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Constant Currency Information" below.

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 operating income (expense), adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, 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, net cash provided by operating activities, earnings per share, 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, 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.

Please refer to Footnotes at the end of this release.

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.

Ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA

On October 16, 2019, the Company entered into a senior secured credit agreement ("2019 Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks. 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, 2019, 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 adjusted EBITDA under the 2019 Credit Agreement to consolidated indebtedness less netted cash is 2.92 times for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2019. 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, 2019. "Consolidated Indebtedness" and "Netted Cash" are terms used in the 2019 Credit Agreement for purposes of certain financial covenants.
