KEY HIGHLIGHTS

 

Company Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson commented, "Our third quarter results demonstrate the continued strength of our business model and industry-leading products, as they mitigated the unfavorable foreign exchange dynamic and overall challenging operating environment in the quarter. We performed largely in-line with our expectations while working through these headwinds. Over the last couple quarters, we have extended some capital project timelines, and trimmed around the edges, cutting back on expected hiring and expenses. Going forward, we will keep the current operating environment in mind as we drive our competitive advantages to outperform the global bedding market and position ourselves well for the market's eventual normalization."

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 decreased 5.6% to $1,057.7 million as compared to $1,120.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. On a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾, North America net sales decreased 5.4% as compared to the third quarter of 2021. Gross margin was 39.8% as compared to 39.9% in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted gross margin⁽¹⁾ was 40.2% in the third quarter of 2022. There were no adjustments to gross margin in the third quarter of 2021. Operating margin was 19.4% as compared to 21.2% in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted operating margin⁽¹⁾ was 19.8% in the third quarter of 2022. There were no adjustments to operating margin in the third quarter of 2021.

North America net sales through the wholesale channel decreased $73.1 million, or 7.4%, to $918.1 million, as compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily driven by macroeconomic pressures impacting U.S. consumer behavior. North America net sales through the direct channel increased $10.8 million, or 8.4%, to $139.6 million, as compared to the third quarter of 2021.

North America adjusted gross margin⁽¹⁾ improved 30 basis points as compared to gross margin in the third quarter of 2021. The improvement was primarily driven by pricing actions to offset commodity inflation and favorable brand mix, partially offset by operational investments to service our customers. North America adjusted operating margin⁽¹⁾ declined 140 basis points as compared to operating margin in the third quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily driven by advertising investments and operating expense deleverage partially offset by the improvement in gross margin.

International net sales decreased 5.3% to $225.6 million as compared to $238.3 million in the third quarter of 2021. On a constant currency basis⁽¹⁾, International net sales increased 7.4% as compared to the third quarter of 2021. Gross margin was 53.4% as compared to 54.6% in the third quarter of 2021. Operating margin was 14.5% as compared to 21.1% in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted operating margin⁽¹⁾ was 14.7% as compared to 22.1% in the third quarter of 2021.

International net sales through the wholesale channel decreased $22.9 million, or 21.2%, to $85.1 million as compared to the third quarter of 2021. International net sales through the direct channel increased $10.2 million, or 7.8%, to $140.5 million as compared to the third quarter of 2021. In the third quarter of 2022, International net sales decreased $30 million due to unfavorable foreign exchange.

International gross margin declined 120 basis points as compared to the third quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily driven by the acquisition of Dreams driving unfavorable mix, and foreign currency exchange rates. Dreams' margin profile is lower than our historical International margins as they sell a variety of products across a range of price points. International adjusted operating margin⁽¹⁾ declined 740 basis points as compared to the third quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily driven by operating expense deleverage, the decline in gross margin, and Asia joint venture performance due to COVID-19 related shutdowns.

Corporate operating expense was $36.6 million, consistent with the third quarter of 2021.

Consolidated net income decreased 25.2% to $132.7 million as compared to $177.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ decreased 23.3% to $137.8 million as compared to $179.6 million in the third quarter of 2021. EPS decreased 13.8% to $0.75 as compared to $0.87 in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted EPS⁽¹⁾ decreased 11.4% to $0.78 as compared to $0.88 in the third quarter of 2021.

The Company ended the third quarter of 2022 with total debt of $2.8 billion and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash⁽¹⁾ of $2.7 billion. Leverage based on the ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash⁽¹⁾ to adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was 2.77 times for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2022.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased 1.0 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $25.2 million. Over the last twelve months, the Company has repurchased 24.1 million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $887.7 million. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $809.5 million available under its existing share repurchase authorization.

Additionally, today the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on December 1, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 17, 2022.

Company Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson commented, "Overall, we are pleased with both our quarterly results and the progress we have made on our long-term initiatives, against an evolving macroeconomic backdrop. We enter this complex macro period with retailers generally in good shape, a strong competitive position, and new innovative products to launch. We are watching macro developments closely and adjusting to the market conditions, while staying aggressive and on strategy."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Constant Currency Information

The  Company is unable to reconcile forward–looking adjusted EPS, a non–GAAP financial measure, to EPS, 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 EPS in 2022.

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 indebtedness and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash, which are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income, earnings per share, 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, gross margin, 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 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 reported net income to adjusted net income and the calculation of adjusted EPS 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 adjustments as described in the footnotes at the end of this release.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported net income to adjusted net income and the calculation of adjusted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

 

Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income (Expense) and Adjusted Operating Margin

A reconciliation of gross profit and gross margin to adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin, respectively, and operating income (expense) and operating margin to adjusted operating income (expense) and adjusted operating margin, respectively, 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 reported gross profit and operating income (expense) to the calculation of adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

The following table sets forth the Company's reported gross profit and the reconciliation of the Company's operating income (expense) to the calculation of adjusted operating income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The Company had no adjustments to gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Consolidated Indebtedness less Netted Cash

The following reconciliations are provided below:

• Net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA
• Ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA
• Total debt, net to consolidated indebtedness less netted cash

Management believes that presenting these non-GAAP measures provides investors with useful information with respect to the Company's operating performance, cash flow generation and comparisons from period to period, as well as general information about the Company's leverage.

The Company's credit agreement (the "2019 Credit Agreement") provides the definition of adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, the Company presents adjusted EBITDA to provide information regarding the Company's compliance with requirements under the 2019 Credit Agreement.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported net income to the calculations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

 

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's net income to the calculations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2022:

 

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 trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2022, 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 consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA is 2.77 times for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2022. 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 September 30, 2022. "Consolidated Indebtedness" and "Netted Cash" are terms used in the 2019 Credit Agreement for purposes of certain financial covenants.
