Cash flow, debt and liquidity
- First-half operating cash flow from continuing operations was $66.5m, down from $313.0m. Management attributed the decrease principally to higher inventory investment and lower net income.
- First-half capital expenditures were $130.2m versus $52.6m. Cash and cash equivalents were $110.3m at June 30, down from $300.7m at year-end 2021.
- Total debt was $2,905.1m, up from $2,353.2m at year-end; balance-sheet long-term debt, net, was $2,817.0m. Revolver availability was $295.3m, giving reported total liquidity of $405.6m.
- Net leverage under the credit agreement was 2.67x, against a 5.00x covenant ceiling; the company reported compliance with applicable debt covenants. The stated target leverage range was 2.0x–3.0x.
- First-half share repurchases totaled $566.2m under the program; dividends paid were $36.2m. Stockholders’ equity moved from $285.8m at year-end to a deficit of $189.9m at June 30.
Outlook, commentary and risks
- Management expected 2022 capital expenditures to exceed $250m, mainly for manufacturing capacity expansion and other growth initiatives. It said available cash, operating cash flow and credit facilities should support foreseeable needs.
- Management expected the operational impact of the Sealy U.S. manufacturing ERP transition to improve in the second half of 2022. It described the system as intended to support longer-term operating efficiencies and customer service.
- Management said falling consumer confidence was weighing on order trends and expected that pressure to continue. It also cited inflation and raw-material costs, supply-chain disruption, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, COVID-19 impacts and China lockdowns as risks.
- Planned launches included a North American Stearns & Foster refresh and a Sealy product in Q4 2022, plus new Tempur and adjustable-base products in 2023. These are plans, not financial guidance.
- The company reported a Danish tax dispute involving royalties for 2012 through 2022, with an uncertain tax liability of approximately $48.0m and related deferred tax asset of $17.6m at June 30. An unfavorable resolution or changed circumstances could materially affect reported earnings. Management said other pending legal and administrative matters were not expected, in aggregate, to have a material adverse effect.
- Q2 results included $9.4m of ERP transition charges, $4.1m of restructuring costs and $3.1m of operational start-up costs. First-half operating cash flow was also affected by inventory built to increase safety stock. Management reported effective disclosure controls; the filing identified no material changes to market risks.
