TEMPUR-PEDIC REPORTS FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
 
 
- Reports EPS of $0.18
 
 
- Gross Profit Margin Increases 250 Basis Points to 46.2%
 
 
- Maintains EPS Guidance, Reduces Sales Guidance

LEXINGTON, KY, April 16, 2009 – Tempur-Pedic International Inc. (NYSE: TPX), the leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of premium mattresses and pillows worldwide, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009. The Company also updated financial guidance for 2009.

FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL SUMMARY
·  
Earnings per share (EPS) were $0.18 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $0.18 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008. The Company reported net income of $13.3 million for the first quarter of 2009 as compared to net income of $13.5 million in the first quarter of 2008. Net income results for the first quarter of 2009 include a non-recurring $1.3 million tax charge resulting from a change to a foreign tax law.
 
·  
Net sales declined 28% to $177.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 from $247.2 million in the first quarter of 2008. On a constant currency basis, net sales declined 24%. Net sales in the domestic segment declined 28%, while international segment net sales declined 29%. On a constant currency basis, international segment net sales declined 18%. 

·  
Mattress sales declined 29% globally. Mattress sales declined 29% in the domestic segment and 29% in the international segment. On a constant currency basis, international mattress sales declined 17%. Pillow sales declined 27% globally. Pillow sales declined 25% domestically and 29% internationally. On constant currency basis, international pillow sales declined 20%.
 
·  
Gross profit margin was 46.2% as compared to 43.7% in the first quarter of 2008. The gross profit margin increased as a result of lower commodity and transportation costs, improved efficiencies in manufacturing, and pricing actions taken during the quarter, partially offset by fixed cost de-leverage related to lower production volumes.
 
·  
Operating profit margin was 14.6% as compared to 11.9% in the first quarter of 2008. Operating profit margin improvement resulted from the expansion in gross profit margin and lower operating expenses. The Company reduced operating expenses by $22.7 million to $56.0 million in the first quarter of 2009 from $78.7 million in the first quarter of 2008.
 
·  
Reflecting the Company’s continued focus on generating cash, the Company generated $26.0 million of operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to $24.6 million in the first quarter of 2008.
 
·  
During the quarter, the Company reduced Total debt by $19.3 million to $400.0 million. As of March 31, 2009, the Company's ratio of Funded debt to EBITDA was 2.38 times, well within the covenant in its credit facility, which requires that this ratio not exceed 3.00 times. For additonal information about EBITDA and Funded debt (which are non-GAAP measures), please refer to the reconciliation and other information included in the attached schedule.

 

 
Chief Executive Officer Mark Sarvary commented, “We executed well during the first quarter. We made solid progress on our long-term initiatives most notably our initiative to drive gross margins. An easing commodity environment and our productivity initiatives have generated substantial margin improvement despite lower volumes. Importantly, we continued to drive balance sheet improvement by paying down debt.”

Chief Financial Officer Dale Williams commented, “Sales in the first quarter were modestly below our expectations. In the domestic segment, while sales were essentially flat to the fourth quarter run rate, we did not experience the normal seasonal lift. In the international segment, sales were down from the fourth quarter reflecting a weakened run rate. As visibility continues to be low, we have established our revised sales guidance assuming only a modest seasonal benefit to first quarter unit volumes.  Accordingly, we continue to adjust our production plans and operating expenses. Our drive to expand margins has generated substantial benefit and we are confirming our prior EPS guidance. In addition, we continue to project we will remain in compliance with the covenants in our credit facility.”

2009 Financial Guidance
The Company maintained its EPS guidance to range from $0.70 to $0.90 per diluted share, but reduced its net sales guidance to range from $700 million to $740 million. The Company noted 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.

EBITDA to Net Income and Funded debt to Total debt
Non-GAAP Measures
(In thousands)

The Company provides information regarding EBITDA and Funded debt which are not recognized terms under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and do not purport to be alternatives to Net income as a measure of operating performance or Total debt. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the Company’s Net income and reconciliation of Funded debt to Total debt are provided below. Management believes that the use of EBITDA and Funded debt provides investors with useful information with respect to the terms of the Company’s credit facility.

Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net income

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company’s reported Net income to the calculation of EBITDA for each of the three months ended June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008 , December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009, as well as the twelve months ended March 31, 2009:
