Press Release — 3Q Fiscal 2012 Results

September 27, 2012

 

News Release

 

Sealy Corporation Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2012 Results

 

3rd Quarter Results from Continuing Operations—

Net Sales Growth of 9.4% to $365 Million—

 

Due to Recent Transaction Announcement with Tempur-Pedic International, Inc., Third Quarter Earnings Conference Call This Evening Cancelled—

 

TRINITY, N.C., September 27, 2012 — Sealy Corporation (NYSE: ZZ), a leading global bedding manufacturer, today announced results for its third quarter of fiscal 2012. While the Company had originally planned to host a conference call to discuss the recent third quarter results this afternoon at 5pm EST, due to the recent transaction announcement with Tempur-Pedic International, Inc., this call has been cancelled.

 

Fiscal 2012 3rd Quarter Recap for Continuing Operations

 

·                  Net sales increased by $31.4 million to $365.4 million, a 9.4% increase compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

·                  Gross profit increased by $11.2 million to $148.2 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011.  Gross margin decreased 0.4 percentage points to 40.6%.

 

·                  Incremental investment in national advertising of $6.6 million over the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to support the Optimum by Sealy Posturepedic Line of specialty bedding.

 

·                  Income from operations of $32.6 million, a decrease of $5.2 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

·                  Net income from continuing operations was $0.1 million, compared to net income from continuing operations of $7.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011

 

·                  Adjusted EBITDA of $42.6 million, a decrease of $5.8 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

 

“Our investments in new products and national advertising delivered strong U.S. sales growth,” stated Larry Rogers, Sealy’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Our Adjusted EBITDA and Gross Margin results were in line with our expectations, as we executed on our enhanced advertising campaign surrounding our successful Sealy Posturepedic Optimum specialty bedding launch.”

 

Fiscal 2012 Third Quarter Results

 

Total U.S. net sales increased 11.2% to $286.2 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Excluding third party sales from the component plants, wholesale average unit selling prices increased 7.6%, while wholesale unit volume increased 2.7%. The increase in our average unit selling price was driven primarily by increases in all major innerspring lines, improved product mix related to the newly introduced Next Generation Stearns & Foster product line, and our Optimum by Sealy Posturepedic line. The increase in unit volume is attributable to increased sales volume for our Optimum by Sealy Posturepedic, Stearns & Foster and Sealy branded product lines partially offset by lower sales volumes for our Posturepedic innerspring beds.

 

International net sales increased $2.5 million, or 3.2%, from the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to $79.2 million. This increase was primarily due to increased sales in Mexico and Argentina partially offset by lower sales in Canada. In Canada, local currency sales increases of 1.2% translated into decreases of 3.2% in U.S. dollars due to a weaker Canadian dollar. Local currency sales performance in Canada was driven by a 3.8% increase in average unit selling price, offset by a 2.5% decrease in unit volume.

 

Gross profit increased by $11.2 million to $148.2 million from the prior year quarter.  Gross margin decreased 0.4 percentage points to 40.6%.  The decrease in percentage of net sales was primarily due to decreases in gross profit

margin in our International operations. The gross profit margin in Canada was 40.3% as a percentage of net sales, which represents a decrease of 2.3 percentage points. This decrease was primarily driven by the impact of higher raw material costs. U.S. gross profit margin decreased 0.3 percentage points to 40.5% of net sales.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $120.6 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2012, an increase of $16.5 million versus the comparable period a year earlier. As a percentage of net sales, this expense was 33.0% and 31.2% for the quarters ended August 26, 2012 and August 28, 2011, respectively. During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company increased its level of spending for national advertising promoting its new Optimum by Sealy Posturepedic line of specialty products in connection with the Independence and Labor Day holidays in the U.S. Operational fixed expenses have experienced increases due to higher compensation costs coupled with higher product development expenses. Additionally, incentive compensation and defined contribution expenses have increased based on our higher projected achievement of incentive targets relative to the prior year. A decrease in non cash compensation and promotional costs partially offset these increases.

 

Income from operations for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased 13.8% or $5.2 million to $32.6 million. This year’s results included $6.6 million of higher national advertising costs, which primarily related to the rollout of our Optimum by Sealy Posturepedic line as well as higher compensation related expense.

 

Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter was $0.1 million.

 

Fiscal 2012 Nine Month Results

 

Net sales for the nine months ended August 26, 2012 increased 3.0% to $989.8 million from $960.9 million for the comparable period a year earlier. Gross profit was $397.6 million, or 40.2% of net sales, versus $380.6 million, or 39.6% of net sales, for the comparable period a year earlier.  Net income from continuing operations was $4.5 million, versus net income from continuing operations of $8.4 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA increased 3.4% to $115.0

million, or 11.6% of net sales, from $111.2 million, or 11.6% of net sales, compared to the same period in the prior year.

 

As of August 26, 2012, the Company’s debt net of cash was $671.7 million and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio (excluding the Convertible Payment In Kind Notes) was 3.78x, compared to 4.02x at November 27, 2011.

 

Results from Discontinued Operations

 

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the company divested the assets of its manufacturing operations in France and Italy, which represented all of the assets in its Europe segment.  In addition, the company discontinued manufacturing operations in Brazil.  The company has transitioned to a license arrangement with third parties in both of these markets.  These businesses are accounted for as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the company has reclassified its financial data for all periods presented to reflect these actions.  Unless otherwise noted, the reported financial data pertains to Sealy’s continuing operations.

 

Non-GAAP Measures

 

Sealy provides information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin which are not recognized terms under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and do not purport to be alternatives to operating income or net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA, because the covenants contained in the Company’s senior debt agreements are based upon these measures and Adjusted EBITDA is a material component of those covenants. Additionally, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company’s operating performance.  The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is Adjusted EBTIDA reflected as a percentage of net sales because it believes that this measure provides useful incremental information to investors regarding the Company’s operating performance.  Additionally, these measures are not intended to be measures of available cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as these measures do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.  A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
