Going into 2019, we look forward to completing the North American Tempur-Pedic rollout with our highly anticipated Tempur Breeze line of products, as well as, launching our entirely new line of Stearns & Foster products. We believe these launches in 2019 will solidify our market position in premium bedding. We believe our focus on delivering high quality bedding products, improving the reach and effectiveness of our marketing, expanding our omni-channel strategy, and pursuing on-going productivity initiatives sets the company up for future earnings growth."

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 8.7% to $527.6 million as compared to $485.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. On a constant currency basis(2), North America net sales increased 9.1% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. GAAP gross margin was 39.2% as compared to 39.8% in the fourth quarter of 2017. GAAP operating margin was 9.5% as compared to 13.7% in the fourth quarter of 2017.

North America net sales through the wholesale channel increased $36.1 million, or 8.0%, to $487.2 million. North America net sales through the direct channel increased $6.0 million, or 17.4%, to $40.4 million, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, driven primarily by growth from expanded retail stores.

North America adjusted gross margin(2) was flat as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. This was driven primarily by favorable pricing and brand mix, which were offset by commodity cost inflation, unfavorable Tempur product mix and increased floor model expenses. North America adjusted operating margin(2) improved 40 basis points as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. The improvement in adjusted operating margin was driven by operating expense leverage.

International net sales increased 1.8% to $148.5 million as compared to $145.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. On a constant currency basis(2), International net sales increased 5.2% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. Gross margin was 51.5% as compared to 51.1% in the fourth quarter of 2017. GAAP operating margin was 21.6% as compared to 25.0% in the fourth quarter of 2017.

International net sales through the wholesale channel decreased $4.6 million, or 3.7%, to $119.3 million and net sales through the direct channel increased $7.2 million, or 32.7%, to $29.2 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.

International adjusted gross margin(2) improved 60 basis points as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. The improvement was driven primarily by the change in classification of royalty income due to the adoption of new revenue recognition guidance and operational improvements. International adjusted operating margin(2) declined 20 basis points as compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. The decline was driven by the change in classification of royalty income due to the adoption of new revenue recognition guidance, offset by favorable operating expense leverage, improvement in gross margin and improved performance by the Asia joint venture.

Corporate operating expense increased to $24.1 million as compared to $20.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2018, the Company reported $45.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1,646.2 million in total debt, as compared to $41.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1,753.1 million in total debt as of December 31, 2017.

Mattress Firm Litigation

In early January, the Company and Mattress Firm, Inc. agreed to a thirty day stay of all litigation to allow time for the parties to discuss a settlement. The parties have now agreed to a settlement of all litigation matters between them in consideration of full mutual releases of all claims. The parties remain subject to certain remaining obligations that were negotiated under their prior commercial agreements.

Financial Guidance

For the full year 2019, the Company currently expects adjusted EBITDA(2) to range from $425 million to $475 million.

The Company also 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 2019 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 GAAP 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 GAAP net income in 2019 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 2019 GAAP financial results.

Discontinued Operations

As previously disclosed, the Company recently completed an evaluation of its International operations and identified certain subsidiaries with low profitability and difficult operating environments with higher operational risk and volatility. As a result of this evaluation, the Company decided to divest of the net assets of certain of these subsidiaries and enter into licensee relationships in those markets. The Company accounted for these subsidiaries as discontinued operations in its consolidated financial statements. These subsidiaries earned $4.3 million and $31.1 million in net sales for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company expects to receive royalty payments from licensee relationships in these markets in future years.

Please refer to Exhibit 99.2, furnished with the related Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 1, 2018, for a recast of selected financial information for 2017 and 2018, by quarter and year-to-date periods, adjusted for discontinued operations, provided for comparative purposes only. Please also refer to Exhibit 99.1, furnished with the related Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 31, 2018, for unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, which reflect the dispositions of certain of the Company’s Latin American subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical consolidated statements of income and the related notes.

Recent Changes to Revenue Recognition Accounting Standards

Due to a new revenue recognition standard adopted on January 1, 2018, the Company changed the classification of royalty income from a component of operating income to revenue. In the fourth quarter of 2018, adoption of this new standard increased both North America and International wholesale net sales by $2.3 million, as compared to the same period in the prior year. There was no impact to reported operating income, net income, or EBITDA arising from this change in classification. Although these earnings measures did not change, net sales and gross margin increased compared to the same period in the prior year and operating margin was negatively impacted. Therefore, adoption of the new standard impacted the Company's 2018 results and their comparability to the prior year.

Numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control, could cause actual results to differ materially from any that may be expressed as forward-looking statements. These risk factors include the impact of the macroeconomic environment in both the U.S. and internationally (including the impact of highly inflationary economies) on the Company’s business segments and expectations regarding growth of the mattress industry; uncertainties arising from global events; the effects of strategic investments on the Company’s operations, including efforts to expand its global market share; the ability to develop and successfully launch new products; the efficiency and effectiveness of the Company’s advertising campaigns and other marketing programs; the ability to increase sales productivity within existing retail accounts and to further penetrate the retail channel, including the timing of opening or expanding within large retail accounts and the timing and success of product launches; the ability to continuously improve and expand the Company’s product line, maintain efficient, timely and cost-effective production and delivery of products, and manage growth; the effects of consolidation of retailers on revenues and costs; competition in the Company’s industry; consumer acceptance of the Company’s products; the effects of discontinued operations on the Company’s operating results and future performance; general economic, financial and industry conditions, particularly conditions relating to the financial performance and related credit issues present in the retail sector; financial distress among the Company’s business partners, customers and competitors; financial solvency and related problems experienced by other market participants; the Company’s reliance on information technology and the associated risks involving potential security lapses and/or cyber-based attacks; the outcome of pending tax audits or other tax, regulatory or investigation proceedings and pending litigation; changes in foreign tax rates and changes in tax laws generally, including the ability to utilize tax loss carryforwards; the Company’s capital structure and increased debt level, including its ability to meet financial obligations and continue to comply with the terms and financial ratio covenants of its credit facilities; changes in interest rates; effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on the Company’s reported earnings; changing commodity costs; disruptions in the supply of raw materials, or loss of suppliers; expectations regarding our target leverage and the Company’s share repurchase program; sales fluctuations due to seasonality; the effect of future legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in international trade duties, tariffs and other aspects of international trade policy; the Company’s ability to protect its intellectual property; and disruptions to the implementation of the Company’s strategic priorities and business plan caused by abrupt changes in its executive management team.

Other potential risk factors include the risk factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" under ITEM 1A of Part 1 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2018.

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 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, 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 and operating income. 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 GAAP net income to adjusted net income and a 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 GAAP net income to adjusted net income and a calculation of adjusted EPS for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

Under the Company's senior secured credit agreement entered into during 2016 ("2016 Credit Agreement"), the definition of adjusted EBITDA contains certain restrictions that limit adjustments to GAAP net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the Company's adjustments to GAAP net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA did not exceed the allowable amount under the 2016 Credit Agreement.

The ratio of adjusted EBITDA under the 2016 Credit Agreement to consolidated funded debt less qualified cash is 3.87 times for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2018. The 2016 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a ratio of consolidated funded debt less qualified 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 funded debt less qualified cash as of December 31, 2018. "Consolidated funded debt" and "qualified cash" are terms used in the 2016 Credit Agreement for purposes of certain financial covenants.
