MINNEAPOLIS – (April 22, 2020) – Sleep Number Corporation (Nasdaq: SNBR) today reported results for the quarter ended March 28, 2020.
“As a purpose driven company, Sleep Number has been intently focused on keeping our team members safe, serving our customers and ensuring our business continuity during this time of uncertainty and disruption created by the COVID-19 pandemic,” stated Shelly Ibach, President and CEO. “Our record first quarter performance reflects the exceptional consumer demand for our life-changing 360® smart beds, our significant competitive advantages and strong business fundamentals. We are effectively managing the near-term challenges caused by the pandemic. The measures we have taken in recent weeks, combined with our team’s agility, resilience and innovation, give me great confidence in our ability to rebound with strength as this crisis abates and the economy recovers.”

First Quarter Overview
Net sales increased 11% to $473 million, including a 7% comparable sales gain and 5 percentage points of growth from new stores
Gross profit rate increased 240 basis points (bp) to 63.9% of net sales
Operating income increased 61% to $53 million, or 11.2% of net sales, up 350 bp versus the prior year’s first quarter while investing in growth drivers, including 25% higher year-over-year R&D spending
Earnings per diluted share increased 70% to a record $1.36, while absorbing 11 cents of year-over-year income tax rate headwind

COVID-19 Update
The company has taken decisive actions to manage liquidity and costs through the challenging economic environment caused by COVID-19. The pandemic and ensuing government restrictions have resulted in the temporary closure of most of our retail stores since mid-March. The company took immediate measures to preserve cash: suspended share repurchases for the balance of the year, significantly reduced capital expenditures, compensation, benefits and discretionary spending, and temporarily furloughed 40% of its team members, with approximately another 30% working reduced hours. These actions are collectively expected to result in more than $250 million of reduced cash spending versus plan in 2020.

Financial Outlook
The company remains focused on managing liquidity and balance sheet strength, and expects to meet its liquidity needs from operating cash flow and its existing credit facilities. On March 23, 2020, the company

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)
(in thousands)
 
We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) as net income plus: income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and asset impairments. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of our financial performance and our ability to generate cash from operating activities. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions used by other companies. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to the comparable GAAP financial measure:

Calculation of Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
(in thousands)
 
ROIC is a financial measure we use to determine how efficiently we deploy our capital. It quantifies the return we earn on our invested capital. Management believes ROIC is also a useful metric for investors and financial analysts. We compute ROIC as outlined below. Our definition and calculation of ROIC may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions and calculations used by other companies. The tables below reconcile net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) and total invested capital, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to the comparable GAAP financial measures:

1 Rent expense is added back to operating income to show the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.
2 Depreciation is based on the average of the last five fiscal quarters' ending capitalized operating lease obligations (see note 6) for the respective reporting periods with an assumed thirty-year useful life. This life assumption is based on our long-term participation in given markets though specific retail location lease commitments are generally 5 to 10 years at inception. This is subtracted from operating income to illustrate the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.
3 Reflects annual effective income tax rates, before discrete adjustments, of 23.9% and 24.2% for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
4 Cash greater than target is defined as cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities less customer prepayments in excess of $100 million.
5 Long-term debt includes existing finance lease liabilities.
6 A multiple of eight times annual rent expense is used as an estimate for capitalizing our operating lease obligations. The methodology utilized aligns with the methodology of a nationally recognized credit rating agency.
7 Average invested capital represents the average of the last five fiscal quarters' ending invested capital balances.
8 ROIC equals NOPAT divided by average invested capital.

Note - Our ROIC calculation and data are considered non-GAAP financial measures and are not in accordance with, or preferable to, GAAP financial data. However, we are providing this information as we believe it facilitates analysis of the Company's financial performance by investors and financial analysts.
