SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL SUMMARY

• Earnings per diluted share ("EPS") under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the second quarter of 2014 were $(0.04) compared to GAAP EPS of $(0.03) in the second quarter of 2013. The 2014 results reflect a $20.4 million loss on disposal of the Company's three U.S. innerspring component production facilities and $5.2 million of integration costs related to the acquisition of Sealy Corporation ("Sealy"). The 2013 results reflect $11.9 million of transaction and integration costs and a $4.5 million purchase price allocation ("PPA") inventory adjustment related to the Sealy acquisition as well as $8.7 million of costs related to the Company's refinancing of a portion of its senior secured credit facility.
• Adjusted EPS were $0.39 in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to adjusted EPS of $0.36 in the second quarter of 2013.
• GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2014 was $2.2 million as compared to a GAAP net loss of $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2013.

• Total net sales increased 8.2% to $715.0 million in the second quarter of 2014 from $660.6 million in the second quarter of 2013. The net sales increase was driven by higher sales in each of the Company's three business segments.
• Gross profit margin was 37.5% as compared to 38.6% in the second quarter of 2013. The gross profit margin decreased primarily as a result of product and channel mix and unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates, offset partially by a PPA inventory adjustment related to the Sealy acquisition recorded in the second quarter of 2013.
• Operating income was $50.3 million as compared to $44.0 million in the second quarter of 2013. Operating income in the second quarter of 2014 included $5.2 million of integration costs and in the second quarter of 2013 included $11.9 million of transaction and integration costs related to the Sealy acquisition.

• The Company ended the quarter with consolidated funded debt less qualified cash of $1.7 billion. The ratio of consolidated funded debt less qualified cash to adjusted EBITDA was 4.3 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 second quarter was in line with our expectations. We experienced solid sales growth in each of our business segments, with particular strength in the U.S. driven by the initial success of our new products. The investment in new products and related marketing in the first half of 2014 pressured margins but now that the products are rolled out we expect significant margin improvement for the balance of the year. We are also pleased overall with our international performance and are excited about its growth prospects, however we are seeing some weakness in Central Europe."

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, 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 and earnings per share 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 and the disposal of the three U.S. innerspring component facilities. 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 loss to adjusted net income

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported GAAP net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 to the calculation of adjusted net income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

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

(4) Inventory step-up represents the reversal of the fair value adjustment associated with the Sealy acquisition.

(5) Adjustment of taxes to normalized rate represents adjustments associated with the tax impacts of the loss on disposal of business, integration costs, and transaction costs.

Reconciliation of total debt to consolidated funded debt less qualified cash

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported total debt to the calculation of consolidated funded debt less qualified cash as of June 30, 2014.

(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 4.3 times, within the Company's covenant, which requires this ratio be less than 4.75 times from April 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014. For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the covenant requires a ratio of less than 4.50 times.
