Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes and Events
On December 5, 2019, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court granted Mattress PAL's request to convert its Chapter 11 proceedings to a Chapter 7 liquidation case. Consequently, Tempur Sealy International determined it must record a $30 million charge due to the customer's bankruptcy and significant liquidity issues. This charge is planned to be treated as an adjustment when calculating adjusted EBITDA under the Company's senior secured credit agreement.
