Second-quarter sales increased in all three segments: Tempur North America 10.1%, Tempur International 9.0% and Sealy 6.8%. Segment operating income was $8.3 million for Tempur North America, $19.2 million for Tempur International and $22.8 million for Sealy. First-half 2014 sales and earnings comparisons are affected by Sealy being included only from March 18, 2013 in the prior-year period.
At June 30, cash was $121.5 million, working capital was $306.8 million, total debt was $1,776.0 million and stockholders’ equity was $155.9 million. Revolver availability was $281.5 million. Debt declined from $1,836.5 million at December 31, 2013. The company reported compliance with its debt covenants; funded debt less qualified cash to adjusted EBITDA was 4.3 times, against a 4.75-times limit for the quarter. Six-month investing cash flow was $27.3 million, including $46.3 million of cash proceeds from a business disposal; financing cash flow was $(59.6) million. Capital expenditures were $16.9 million.
Material changes and unusual items
- Second-quarter results included a $20.4 million loss on the June 30 sale of three U.S. innerspring-component facilities and related assets to Leggett & Platt. Consideration was approximately $47.8 million, subject to working-capital adjustments, and the company entered a long-term supply agreement.
- Sealy integration costs were $5.2 million in the quarter and $12.6 million in the first half. Reported first-half results also include the disposal loss; the company reported adjusted second-quarter EPS of $0.39 versus $0.36 and adjusted net income of $24.0 million versus $22.3 million. These are non-GAAP measures.
- Gross margin declined in the quarter primarily on product and channel mix and foreign exchange. For the first half, the lower-margin Sealy mix, product and channel mix, and foreign exchange contributed to the decline. Sealy’s first-half gross margin was 29.9%.
- First-half interest expense fell partly because 2013 included $8.7 million of refinancing prepayment fees, and because of lower average debt levels and interest rates in 2014.
Outlook, risks and contingencies
- Management expected 2014 gross margin to benefit from cost synergies and leverage, partly offset by new-product investment and foreign exchange. It said elevated floor-model shipments in the first half would be much lower in the second half.
- Management forecast 2014 capital expenditures of approximately $55 million to $65 million and an approximately 29.5% tax rate for the remainder of 2014. It said operating cash flow and available credit were expected to cover foreseeable debt service, capital expenditures and working-capital needs, while cautioning that future cash generation and borrowing availability were not assured.
- Key operating risks include intense competition, customer and product mix, commodity costs, foreign exchange, new-product acceptance and execution of Sealy integration and expected synergies. The top five customers generated 34.4% of second-quarter sales; Mattress Firm exceeded 10% of sales.
- The Danish tax authority assessed approximately $236.3 million, including interest and penalties, for 2001–2008 royalty-tax matters. The company disputes the assessments; required security was deferred to 2017 for 2001–2007 and 2018 for 2008. The filing says an adverse outcome could significantly affect liquidity and profitability. Reported uncertain tax benefits were $26.4 million, with approximately $11.5 million of accrued interest and penalties.
- Other contingencies include an appeal of a dismissed shareholder securities class action, a Sealy appraisal proceeding that could require additional payment plus interest, consumer litigation, and environmental remediation. The company stated that some outcomes and possible losses cannot presently be estimated.
- After the interest-rate swap, approximately $1,148.9 million of debt was variable-rate; a 100-basis-point rate increase was estimated to reduce next-year pretax income by approximately $11.5 million. A hypothetical 10% adverse currency move implied an estimated $8.8 million loss in forward-contract fair value, expected to be largely offset by underlying exposures.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Confirm the registrant identity: this filing is for Tempur Sealy International, Inc., not the company named in the request metadata.
- Assess reported results alongside the disposal loss, integration costs, non-GAAP adjustments and the differing Sealy comparison periods.
- Track leverage against the covenant maximum, which tightens to 4.50 times for July–December 2014 and declines further thereafter, and monitor revolver availability and debt service.
- Follow the Danish tax dispute, appraisal proceeding and other litigation for changes in estimated exposure, required security or liquidity impact.
- Test management’s margin, second-half floor-model shipment, capital-spending and tax-rate expectations against subsequent results.
