Financial performance
Amounts are in millions of dollars except per-share data. The year-over-year comparisons are against 2020, when COVID-19 materially disrupted operations and sales.
| Metric | Q2 2021 | Q2 2020 | Six months 2021 | Six months 2020 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net sales | $1,169.1 | $665.2 | $2,212.9 | $1,487.6 |
| Gross margin | 44.3% | 40.0% | 44.2% | 41.9% |
| Operating income | $223.3 | $53.4 | $411.7 | $158.7 |
| Net income attributable to Tempur Sealy | $140.8 | $23.0 | $271.3 | $82.7 |
| Diluted EPS | $0.69 | $0.11 | $1.32 | $0.39 |
| Operating cash flow | Not stated separately | Not stated separately | $313.0 | $170.4 |
Q2 sales rose 75.8%; six-month sales rose 48.8%. Management cited higher volume across both segments, while noting the prior-year comparison reflected pandemic disruption. Six-month gross margin increased 2.3 percentage points, supported by volume-related fixed-cost leverage and, internationally, favorable mix. Operating income also benefited from operating expense leverage and the absence of certain 2020 pandemic, restructuring, impairment, and customer-related charges. Q2 included an $18.0 million debt-extinguishment loss; six-month results included $23.0 million of such losses.
At June 30, cash was $58.1; total debt was $1,523.6 ($1,509.6 net of deferred financing costs), compared with $1,370.3 at December 31, 2020. Current assets were $925.7 and current liabilities $858.3; reported working capital was $67.4. Six-month capital expenditures were $52.6. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $6.9 during the first half to $58.1.
Material changes, financing, and unusual items
- The company issued $800 million of 4.00% senior notes due 2029 and redeemed its $600 million 2026 notes in June, incurring an $18.0 million extinguishment loss. It also redeemed the remaining $250 million of 2023 notes in Q1, with a $5.0 million loss.
- Revolving-credit capacity was increased to $725 million; $629.3 million was available at June 30. The company also had a $300 million delayed-draw term loan available at quarter-end, which it drew in full on July 30 to help fund the Dreams acquisition.
- On August 2, after quarter-end, the company completed its approximately $475 million acquisition of UK bedding retailer Dreams, subject to working-capital adjustment and less net debt. Management expected about $450 million in first-year post-acquisition sales and approximately $0.20 of EPS accretion.
- Six-month financing cash outflow included $374.4 million of share repurchases and $28.1 million of dividends paid. The company repurchased 10.0 million shares under its program during the first half and had $376.8 million of authorization remaining at June 30.
- A Danish tax matter for 2001–2011 was considered substantially closed after resolution of interest calculations and refunds of substantially all excess deposits. A $48.6 million uncertain tax liability remained for 2012–2021; an adverse resolution or change in circumstances could materially affect reported earnings.
Outlook, management commentary, and risks
- Management expected full-year 2021 consolidated sales growth to exceed 35%. It estimated Q2 sales would have been approximately $150 million higher without supply-chain constraints and expected those constraints to continue into Q3, with demand likely exceeding supply into Q4. Management expected constraints to be largely resolved by year-end.
- Commodity inflation pressured first-half gross margin. The company had taken pricing actions, including additional actions intended to benefit Q4, and expected pricing net of commodity inflation to support gross margin in the first half of 2022.
- Expected 2021 capital expenditures were approximately $150–$165 million. Management expected cash interest payments of approximately $55 million for 2021. It reported June-end net leverage of 1.44 times and expected approximately 1.80 times after the Dreams acquisition; the credit-agreement maximum was 5.00 times. The company said it was in compliance with debt covenants.
- Management cited ongoing risks from COVID-19 and supply-chain disruption, commodity and freight costs, foreign exchange and interest-rate movements, customer and retail-sector financial health, competition, and the ability to integrate Dreams. A 100-basis-point rise in variable rates was estimated to reduce pretax income by about $6.5 million, holding other factors constant.
- Non-GAAP adjusted results were materially affected by differing exclusions; Q2 adjusted net income was $161.5 million versus GAAP net income of $140.8 million. The company cautioned that non-GAAP measures supplement, and do not replace, GAAP results.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the intended issuer: the supplied filing names Tempur Sealy International, Inc., not SOMNIGROUP INTERNATIONAL INC.
- Check subsequent filings for the final Dreams purchase price, integration results, acquisition financing, and actual EPS contribution.
- Track whether supply constraints, freight availability, and commodity inflation developed as management expected, and whether pricing actions protected margins.
- Review subsequent updates on the remaining Danish tax matter and any resulting liability, deferred-tax-asset, or earnings changes.
- Assess debt and liquidity after the July delayed-draw borrowing, acquisition funding, repurchases, and dividend commitments; June 30 liquidity included the then-undrawn $300 million delayed-draw facility.
