TEMPUR SEALY REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2014 RESULTS

 – Reports First Quarter GAAP EPS of $0.44; Adjusted EPS of $0.53
Acquires Sealy® Brand Rights in Continental Europe

LEXINGTON, KY, May 1, 2014 – Tempur Sealy International, Inc. (NYSE: TPX), the world’s largest bedding provider, today announced financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2014. The Company also announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Sealy® brand rights in Continental Europe (excluding UK) from its former licensee. The Company confirmed financial guidance for 2014.

FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the first quarter of 2014 were $0.44 compared to GAAP EPS of $0.20 in the first quarter of 2013. The 2013 and 2014 results reflect transaction and integration costs related to the acquisition of Sealy Corporation ("Sealy"). The Company completed its acquisition of Sealy in March 2013, and results for the first quarter of 2013 include Sealy's operations from March 18, 2013 through March 31, 2013.

Adjusted EPS were $0.53 in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to adjusted EPS of $0.62 in the first quarter of 2013.

GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2014 was $27.4 million as compared to GAAP net income of $12.5 million for the first quarter of 2013. The Company reported adjusted net income of $32.6 million for the first quarter of 2014 as compared to adjusted net income of $38.2 million for the first quarter of 2013. For additional information regarding adjusted EPS and adjusted net income (which are non-GAAP measures), please refer to the reconciliations and other information included in the attached schedules.

Total net sales increased 79.9% to $701.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 from $390.1 million in the first quarter of 2013. The net sales increase was due to a full quarter of Sealy net sales in the first quarter of 2014 of $363.2 million as compared to $46.7 million in the first quarter of 2013, which included the period of March 18, 2013 through March 31, 2013.

Gross profit margin was 38.4% as compared to 48.3% in the first quarter of 2013. The gross profit margin decreased primarily as a result of the inclusion of a full quarter for the Sealy business, which has lower margins than the Tempur North America and Tempur International segments, as well as changes in product and channel mix and higher new product launch costs, offset partially by geographic mix and lower sourcing costs.

Operating income was $62.4 million as compared to $44.5 million in the first quarter of 2013. Operating income in the first quarter of 2014 included $7.4 million of integration costs related to the Sealy acquisition. Operating income in the first quarter of 2013 included $16.0 million of transaction and integration costs. The higher operating income reflects a full quarter of Sealy results in the first quarter of 2014.

EBITDA for the first quarter of 2014 was $85.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP measure) for the first quarter of 2014 was $91.4 million.

The Company ended the quarter with consolidated funded debt less qualified cash of $1.8 billion. The ratio of consolidated funded debt less qualified cash to adjusted EBITDA was 4.6 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 first quarter was in line with our expectations. The majority of our 2014 initiatives have just begun, and we remain confident that they will drive growth in 2014. We are also excited about our recently announced acquisitions of Sealy brand rights in Japan and in Continental Europe.  Both of these transactions represent significant future growth opportunities."

The Company anticipates closing the transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, during its fiscal second quarter of 2014. The transaction is expected to have limited sales and earnings contribution to overall 2014 results but provides a significant long term growth opportunity. No assets were acquired and financial terms were not disclosed.


Financial Guidance
The Company confirmed 2014 guidance for net sales, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS.

The Company currently expects the following for 2014:

Net sales to range from $2.800 billion to $2.900 billion

Adjusted EPS to range from $2.60 to $2.85 per diluted share, including depreciation and amortization of approximately $0.19 per share associated with the Sealy purchase price allocation (“PPA”)

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. The Company noted its adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS guidance does not include transaction and integration costs related to the Sealy acquisition.

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, and 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 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. 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.

TEMPUR SEALY ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF SEALY BRAND RIGHTS
IN CONTINENTAL EUROPE
 
LEXINGTON, KY, MAY 1, 2014 – Tempur Sealy International, Inc. (NYSE: TPX), the world’s largest bedding provider, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Sealy® brand rights in Continental Europe (excluding the UK) from its former licensee. The Company anticipates closing the transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, during its fiscal second quarter of 2014. Financial terms were not disclosed.
As part of the transaction, the companies have executed a supply agreement, whereby the former licensee will become a contract manufacturer for certain Sealy branded products. No assets were acquired.
Tempur Sealy International, Inc. CEO Mark Sarvary commented, “The acquisition of Sealy brand rights in Continental Europe represents a significant long-term growth opportunity. We are excited at the prospects of further increasing our European presence and will leverage Tempur International’s European sales and marketing infrastructure to grow it in the years to come."

Chief Financial Officer Dale Williams commented, “Given our current expectation for when the deal will close and the nature of the transaction, we expect this geographic expansion to have limited sales and earnings contribution to our overall results in 2014. However, we expect sales and earnings contribution to be more significant in 2015 and beyond as we broaden our product offering and increase distribution.”
