LEXINGTON, Ky., May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tempur-Pedic International Inc. (NYSE: TPX), the world's largest bedding provider, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. The Company also issued updated 2013 financial guidance that incorporates recently acquired Sealy Corporation ("Sealy").

On March 18, 2013, the Company completed its previously announced merger with Sealy. The Company's 2013 first quarter financials include Sealy's operations for the period March 18, 2013 through March 31, 2013 (the "stub period").

FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL SUMMARY


    --  Earnings per diluted share (EPS) under U.S. generally accepted
        accounting principles (GAAP) in the first quarter of 2013 were $0.20,
        and reflect transaction and integration costs related to the recently
        completed Sealy acquisition as well as certain discrete tax items.
        Adjusted EPS were $0.62 in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to GAAP
        EPS of $0.86 in the first quarter of 2012.
    --  GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2013 was $12.5 million. The
        Company reported adjusted net income of $38.2 million for the first
        quarter of 2013 as compared to GAAP net income of $56.2 million in the
        first quarter of 2012. 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 1.5% to $390.1 million in the first quarter of
        2013 from $384.4 million in the first quarter of 2012. The net sales
        increase was due to the inclusion of $46.7 million of Sealy sales for
        the stub period.  Excluding Sealy, Tempur-Pedic net sales decreased
        10.7% to $343.4 million.
    --  Gross profit margin was 48.3%. Excluding Sealy, Tempur-Pedic gross
        profit margin decreased to 51.7% as compared to 53.6% in the first
        quarter of 2012. The Tempur-Pedic gross profit margin decreased
        primarily as a result of product mix, deleverage, and increased
        promotions and discounts, offset partially by lower commodity costs and
        geographic mix.
    --  Operating income was $44.3 million, or 11.4% of net sales. Operating
        income included $16.0 million of transaction and integration costs
        related to the Sealy acquisition. Excluding Sealy, Tempur-Pedic
        operating income was $47.2 million as compared to $86.1 million in the
        first quarter of 2012. The lower Tempur-Pedic operating income reflects
        the reduced gross margin and deleverage of certain operating expenses
        related to lower sales.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2013 was $76.8 million as
        compared to $98.7 million in the first quarter of 2012.
    --  The Company ended the quarter with consolidated funded debt of $2.0
        billion. The ratio of consolidated funded debt less qualified cash to
        adjusted EBITDA was 4.4 times, calculated on a combined basis for
        Tempur-Pedic and Sealy in accordance with the Company's new senior
        secured credit facility. For additional information regarding 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-Pedic International CEO Mark Sarvary commented, "We are pleased to have completed the acquisition of Sealy in March. The integration is progressing smoothly and as planned. We remain confident in realizing cost synergies in excess of $40 million by the third full year and continue to be very excited about the significant opportunity for revenue synergies. Our performance during the first quarter was in line with our projections and we expect positive net sales growth for the balance of the year."

Charges and Other Costs
The Company incurred various charges as a result of the Sealy acquisition. Transaction costs recorded in the first quarter of 2013 were $11.8 million and integration costs were $4.2 million. In addition, the Company incurred Sealy transaction-related interest and fees of $19.9 million, including interest on the Company's new 6.875% Senior Notes due 2020 for the period prior to the March 18, 2013 closing of the Sealy acquisition, commitments associated with financing for the closing of the Sealy acquisition, ticking fees and write off of deferred financing costs associated with the Company's previous credit facility.

Capital Structure
With the closing of the Sealy acquisition, the Company's senior secured credit facility, consisting of its Term A, Term B and revolving credit facility, and Senior Notes were funded. In addition, with respect to Sealy's 8% Senior Secured Third Lien Convertible Notes due 2016, $96.2 million remained outstanding as of March 31, 2013, which represents the fair value of the notes. As a result, the Company now had consolidated funded debt of $2.0 billion as of March 31, 2013.

Financial Guidance
The Company issued updated 2013 financial guidance that incorporates the recently acquired Sealy business.

The following guidance commentary reflects a full year of Tempur-Pedic results and Sealy results from March 18, 2013:


    --  Net sales to be approximately $2.5 billion
    --  Adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $435 million
    --  Adjusted EPS to be approximately $2.75, including purchase price
        allocation ("PPA") intangible depreciation and amortization of
        approximately $0.21 per share

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.

Sealy Fiscal First Quarter 2013 Results

Given that the Company's first quarter results reflect Sealy results only for the Sealy stub period, the Company has included the following commentary on Sealy's fiscal first quarter ending March 3, 2013 in order to provide a sense of how the Sealy business performed. The following Sealy results reflect its historical basis of accounting and should not be considered an indicator of future performance.


    --  For the quarter ended March 3, 2013, Sealy's net sales increased 8.8% to
        $339.6 million from $312.3 million in the quarter ended February 26,
        2012.
    --  Sealy's operating income was $10.8 million as compared with $25.9
        million in the prior year period and included charges and other costs of
        $9.2 million related to the transaction with Tempur-Pedic and other
        restructuring costs.

TEMPUR-PEDIC 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, which are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) 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 acquisition of Sealy. A reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the Company's net income and a reconciliation of total debt to consolidated funded debt are also provided below. Management believes that the use of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and funded debt also provides investors with useful information with respect to the terms of the Company's new debt agreements 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.
