Changes versus comparable periods
- Q3 sales declined 5.5% reported and 3.1% on a constant-currency basis. North America sales fell 5.6%; International sales fell 5.3% reported but rose 7.4% constant currency.
- Q3 operating income fell 19.5%, and net income fell 25.2%. Gross margin decreased 30 basis points; operating margin decreased from 18.4% to 15.7%.
- Nine-month sales increased 4.6% reported and 6.3% constant currency, but operating income declined 19.4% and net income declined about 21.1%. Gross margin decreased 170 basis points.
- International nine-month sales growth was substantially associated with the inclusion of Dreams; its lower margin profile weighed on International margins. North America sales and results were pressured by consumer trends and the ERP transition.
- Net interest expense rose as average debt and rates on variable-rate borrowing increased. Nine-month 2021 results included a $23.0 million debt-extinguishment loss, not repeated in 2022.
Outlook, management commentary and risks
- Management cited inflation and economic uncertainty, weaker consumer confidence and order trends, foreign exchange pressure, and continuing geopolitical and pandemic-related supply-chain risks. It said supply-chain actions had largely mitigated broader disruption.
- The Sealy domestic manufacturing ERP implementation negatively affected North America results in the first nine months; management expected improvement in Q4 2022. The filing also identifies ERP transition costs and U.S. capacity start-up costs.
- Management expected 2022 capital expenditures to exceed $275 million, including a new foam-pouring plant and capacity expansion, and expected capital spending to decrease significantly in 2023.
- Planned product launches included North American Stearns & Foster and Sealy FlexGrid rollouts in Q4 2022, and new Tempur products and adjustable bases in 2023. No full-year earnings or revenue guidance is provided in the supplied filing text.
- The company disclosed a Danish tax dispute, with an uncertain tax liability of approximately $46.1 million and a related deferred tax asset of approximately $19.1 million. An adverse resolution or changed circumstances could materially affect reported earnings. Pending legal proceedings were not expected by management, in aggregate, to have a material adverse effect.
- The Inflation Reduction Act’s corporate minimum tax and 1% share-buyback excise tax were expected to apply to the company beginning in 2023; the company said the effect was not yet clear.
- Q3 adjusted measures included $2.7 million of ERP costs, $1.8 million of operational start-up costs and $1.2 million of restructuring costs. These non-GAAP measures supplement, and are not substitutes for, GAAP results.
