ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the 2019 Annual Report, including "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in ITEM 7 of Part II of the 2019 Annual Report, and the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in this Report. Unless otherwise noted, all of the financial information in this Report is consolidated financial information for the Company. The forward-looking statements in this discussion regarding the mattress and pillow industries, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements in this discussion are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" elsewhere in this Report, in the 2019 Annual Report and the section titled "Risk Factors" contained in ITEM 1A of Part I of the 2019 Annual Report and in ITEM 1A, Risk Factors, in this Report. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
In this discussion and analysis, we discuss and explain the consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, including the following topics:
• an overview of our business and strategy, including uncertainty relating to COVID-19;
• results of operations, including our net sales and costs in the periods presented as well as changes between periods;
• expected sources of liquidity for future operations; and
• our use of certain non-GAAP financial measures.
Business Overview
General
We are the world's largest bedding manufacturer. We develop, manufacture and market bedding products, which we sell globally. Our product brand portfolio includes many highly recognized and iconic brands in the industry, including Tempur®, Tempur-Pedic®, Sealy® featuring Posturepedic® Technology, Stearns & Foster® and Comfort Revolution®. Our comprehensive suite of bedding products offers a variety of products to consumers across a broad range of channels and price points.
Our distribution model operates through an omni-channel strategy with two distribution channels in each operating business segment: Wholesale and Direct. Our Wholesale channel consists of third-party retailers, including third-party distribution, hospitality and healthcare. Our Direct channel includes company-owned stores, e-commerce and call centers.
Business Segments
We operate in two segments: North America and International. Corporate operating expenses are not included in either of the segments and are presented separately as a reconciling item to consolidated results. These segments are strategic business units that are managed separately based on geography. Our North America segment consists of Tempur and Sealy manufacturing and distribution subsidiaries and licensees located in the U.S. and Canada. Our International segment consists of Tempur and Sealy manufacturing and distribution subsidiaries, joint ventures and licensees located in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. We evaluate segment performance based on net sales, gross profit and operating income.
Business Update
We continue to study and optimize our operations in response to the challenges from the COVID-19 crisis. We have taken and continue to take precautionary measures to mitigate health risks during the evolving situation resulting from COVID-19.
We experienced a major reduction in total net sales when COVID-19 began materially impacting our North America business segment in mid-March. In the second quarter, order trends reached their lowest point in early April when they had declined approximately 80% as compared to prior year. Order trends began to improve thereafter, with orders down approximately 55% for the full month of April as compared to the same period in 2019. During April and May, many stores of our third-party retailers within the Wholesale channel, as well as our company-owned stores within the Direct channel, were closed or operating under restricted conditions in the U.S. and around the world. We experienced significant and accelerating improvement in order trends in late May and throughout the remainder of the second quarter. This improvement was primarily due to the reopening of brick-and-mortar stores as restrictions were lifted, the acceleration of e-commerce business trends and a
shift in consumer spending habits towards in-home products, including bedding products. We believe this may be a long-term shift in consumer spending habits, which could be favorable to our business.
This unexpected and rapid increase in demand for bedding products has challenged the entire bedding industry and supply chain, including our business. The broad-based increase in demand coupled with labor and supply chain constraints has created operational challenges in the production of Sealy bedding products in the U.S. These operational challenges have resulted in longer order to delivery times. Sealy orders in the U.S. have exceeded our manufacturing capacity in the second quarter and through July. The Tempur-Pedic manufacturing process has not been as impacted by the current supply chain constraints as it is less labor-dependent and has fewer components than the Sealy manufacturing process. We are in the process of increasing U.S. production capabilities across our entire portfolio of products to meet this heightened demand, but expect to continue experiencing capacity constraints on Sealy bedding products through the third quarter of 2020.
Additionally, the U.S. government has mandated that domestic suppliers of certain materials used in the production of bedding products be redirected towards the production of personal protective equipment. Our supply chain remains constrained with respect to these materials and we have taken certain steps, including pricing actions, to attempt to mitigate this impact.
We are targeting third quarter 2020 sales to increase approximately 25% from the same period last year. If favorable order trends were to continue, and if there are no significant changes in supply chain or manufacturing capacity, or other unfavorable impacts due to the global pandemic, it is possible that our third quarter or fourth quarter financial performance could trigger vesting of our long-term aspirational plan. This would result in a non-cash stock-based compensation charge in the range of $33.0 million to $49.5 million in the quarter that the performance metric is probable of acheivement.
During this time of uncertainty, keeping our employees safe and healthy is a top priority. We have implemented precautionary measures to protect our employees, including restricting travel and face-to-face meetings, allowing employees to work from home where possible and adopting all region-specific public health protocols applicable to our global operations. While providing a healthy and safe work environment is a top priority during these unprecedented times, our entire organization is also focused on our commitments to our customers, suppliers and shareholders. During the second quarter, we began offering our Clean Shop Promise TM protocol to third-party retailers and our company-owned stores, which is being broadly adopted to provide customers with a sense of comfort as they return to shopping in stores. During the second quarter, we also worked with various government and healthcare organizations to provide products and services in this time of crisis.
Our business has a highly variable cost structure that can flex with changes in sales. Given the sudden and significant change in volume early in the second quarter of 2020, actions were quickly implemented to mitigate the financial impact. We primarily reduced advertising spend, temporarily furloughed employees and decreased variable compensation. As order trends improved throughout the quarter, we immediately reversed these actions and began making investments to ensure we could service our customers. Additionally, as liquidity improved, we began reinvesting in the business at similar levels prior to the impact of COVID-19.
Given the market uncertainty of the crisis, we entered into a new $200 million 364-day term loan (the "364-Day Loan") on May 13, 2020 to increase overall available liquidity and strengthen the balance sheet. We had $611.5 million of liquidity as of June 30, 2020, including $146.8 million of cash on hand and $423.9 million available under our revolving senior secured credit facility.
We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and stockholders. While we are unable to determine or predict the nature, duration or scope of the overall impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources, we believe that it is important to share where our company stands today, how our response to COVID-19 is progressing and how our operations and financial condition may change as the fight against COVID-19 progresses. For further information regarding the potential impacts of COVID-19 on the Company, please refer to "Risk Factors" in ITEM 1A of Part II of this Report.
Product Launches
In 2020, we are introducing the Tempur-Ergo Smart Base Collection with Sleeptracker technology and a new Sealy Posturepedic Plus line.
Acquisition of Sherwood Bedding
On January 31, 2020, we acquired an 80% ownership interest in a newly formed limited liability company containing substantially all of the assets of the Sherwood Bedding business for a cash purchase price of approximately $39.1 million. Sherwood Bedding is a major manufacturer in the U.S. private label and original equipment manufacturer bedding market, and this acquisition of a majority interest marks our entrance into the private label category. During the first quarter of 2020, we completed the integration of Sherwood Bedding into our portfolio of product brands. We expect to leverage our overall brand portfolio to gain additional distribution for Sherwood products.
Results of Operations

For a discussion and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures as discussed above to the corresponding GAAP financial results, refer to the non-GAAP financial information set forth below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Information."
We may refer to net sales or earnings or other historical financial information on a "constant currency basis," which is a non-GAAP financial measure. These references to constant currency basis do not include operational impacts that could result from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. To provide information on a constant currency basis, the applicable financial results are adjusted based on a simple mathematical model that translates current period results in local currency using the comparable prior corresponding period’s currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries where the functional currency is the local country currency. This information is provided so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of business performance. Constant currency information is not recognized under GAAP, and it is not intended as an alternative to GAAP measures. Refer to Part I, ITEM 3 of this Report for a discussion of our foreign currency exchange rate risk.

NET SALES
Three Months Ended June 30,

(in millions) Consolidated North America International
Net sales by channel
Wholesale $ 563.7 $ 632.2 $ 494.6 $ 528.5 $ 69.1 $ 103.7
Direct 101.5 90.6 75.9 59.6 25.6 31.0
Total net sales $ 665.2 $ 722.8 $ 570.5 $ 588.1 $ 94.7 $ 134.7
Net sales decreased 8.0%, and on a constant currency basis decreased 7.3%. The change in net sales was driven by the following:
• North America net sales decreased $17.6 million, or 3.0%. Net sales in the Wholesale channel decreased $33.9 million, or 6.4%, as a result of the global pandemic. Net sales in the Direct channel increased $16.3 million, or 27.3%, primarily driven by growth from our e-commerce business. This growth was partially offset by decreased sales in our company-owned stores, which were closed or operating under restricted conditions as a result of the global pandemic.
• International net sales decreased $40.0 million, or 29.7%. On a constant currency basis, International net sales decreased 26.9%, as a result of the global pandemic. Net sales in the Wholesale channel decreased 30.3% on a constant currency basis. Net sales in the Direct channel decreased 15.5% on a constant currency basis.
GROSS PROFIT
Three Months Ended June 30,
2020 2019
(in millions, except percentages) Gross Profit Gross Margin Gross Profit Gross Margin Margin Change
North America $ 216.2 37.9 % $ 240.0 40.8 % (2.9) %
International 49.7 52.5 % 73.4 54.5 % (2.0) %
Consolidated gross margin $ 265.9 40.0 % $ 313.4 43.4 % (3.4) %
Costs associated with net sales are recorded in cost of sales and include the costs of producing, shipping, warehousing, receiving and inspecting goods during the period, as well as depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets used in the manufacturing process.
Our gross margin is primarily impacted by the relative amount of net sales contributed by our Tempur and Sealy products. Our Sealy products have a significantly lower gross margin than our Tempur products. Our Sealy mattress products range from value to premium priced offerings, and gross margins are typically higher on premium products compared to value priced offerings. Our Tempur products are exclusively premium priced products. As sales of our Sealy products increase relative to sales of our Tempur products, our gross margins will be negatively impacted in both our North America and International segments.
Our gross margin is also impacted by fixed cost leverage based on manufacturing unit volumes; the cost of raw materials; operational efficiencies due to the utilization in our manufacturing facilities; product, brand, channel and country mix; foreign exchange fluctuations; volume incentives offered to certain retail accounts; participation in our retail cooperative advertising programs; and costs associated with new product introductions. Future changes in raw material prices could have a significant impact on our gross margin. Our margins are also impacted by the growth in our Wholesale channel as sales in our Wholesale channel are at wholesale prices whereas sales in our Direct channel are at retail prices.
Gross margin declined 340 basis points. The primary drivers of changes in gross margin by segment are discussed below:
• North America gross margin declined 290 basis points. The decline in gross margin was primarily driven by product mix of 280 basis points and brand mix of 110 basis points, partially offset by decreased floor model expenses of 100 basis points and lower commodity costs. We expect product and brand mix headwinds to gross margin to lessen in the third quarter of 2020 as sales of our premium products have improved since the second quarter of 2020. Additionally,
we incurred $4.0 million of incremental costs related to global pandemic relief efforts, sanitation supplies and services and other items, which contributed to the decline in gross margin.
• International gross margin declined 200 basis points. The decline in gross margin was primarily driven by fixed cost deleverage on lower unit volumes of 210 basis points and decreased royalties, partially offset by favorable country mix of 140 basis points. Additionally, we incurred $0.5 million of incremental costs related to global pandemic relief efforts, sanitation supplies and services and other items, which contributed to the decline in gross margin.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Selling and marketing expenses include advertising and media production associated with the promotion of our brands, other marketing materials such as catalogs, brochures, videos, product samples, direct customer mailings and point of purchase materials and sales force compensation. We also include in selling and marketing expense certain new product development costs, including market research and new product testing.
General, administrative and other expenses include salaries and related expenses, information technology, professional fees, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets not used in the manufacturing process, expenses for administrative functions and research and development costs.

Operating expenses decreased $18.5 million, or 7.8%, and were flat as a percentage of net sales. The primary drivers of changes in operating expenses by segment are explained below:
• North America operating expenses decreased $13.1 million, or 8.2%, and decreased 150 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by decreases in advertising and other selling and marketing investments as a result of cost reduction actions taken during the quarter. These decreases were offset by $7.0 million of asset impairment charges related to the write-off of certain sales and marketing assets driven by the current macro-economic environment and incremental bad debt expense primarily related to the bankruptcy of one department store in the U.S.
• International operating expenses decreased $4.5 million, or 9.1%, and increased 1,080 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by decreases in advertising and other selling and marketing investments, partially offset by increased bad debt expense. Additionally, we incurred $3.4 million of restructuring costs associated with headcount reductions driven by the current macro-economic environment and $0.3 million of incremental costs related to global pandemic relief efforts, sanitation supplies and services and other items.
• Corporate operating expenses decreased $0.9 million, or 3.4%.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $5.2 million compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 11.9%.

• North America operating income decreased $10.7 million and operating margin declined 140 basis points. The decline in operating margin was primarily driven by the decline in gross margin of 290 basis points. Additionally, we recognized $7.0 million of asset impairment charges related to the write-off of certain sales and marketing assets driven by the current macro-economic environment and incurred $4.1 million of incremental costs related to global pandemic relief efforts, sanitation supplies and services and other items. These declines were partially offset by lower operating expenses as a result of cost actions in the quarter.
• International operating income decreased $17.8 million and operating margin declined 1,020 basis points. The decline in operating margin was primarily driven by fixed cost deleverage on operating expenses of 500 basis points, increased bad debt expense of 200 basis points and the decline in gross margin of 200 basis points. Additionally, we incurred $3.4 million of restructuring costs associated with headcount reductions driven by the current macro-economic environment and $0.8 million of incremental costs related to global pandemic relief efforts, sanitation supplies and services and other items. These declines were partially offset by the performance of the Asia joint venture.
• Corporate operating expenses decreased $0.9 million, which positively impacted our consolidated operating margin by 10 basis points.

The improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by favorable impact from fixed cost leverage on higher unit volume of 110 basis points, decreased floor model expenses of 110 basis points and lower commodity costs of 90 basis points. These improvements were partially offset by unfavorable product mix of 270 basis points. Additionally, we incurred $4.0 million of incremental costs related to global pandemic relief efforts, sanitation supplies and services and other items, which partially offset the improvement in gross margin. We expect product and brand mix headwinds to gross margin to lessen in the third quarter of 2020 as sales of our premium products have improved since the second quarter of 2020.
• International gross margin improved 40 basis points. The improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by favorable country mix. Additionally, we incurred $0.5 million of incremental costs related to global pandemic relief efforts, sanitation supplies and services and other items, which partially offset the improvement in gross margin.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Selling and marketing expenses include advertising and media production associated with the promotion of our brands, other marketing materials such as catalogs, brochures, videos, product samples, direct customer mailings and point of purchase materials and sales force compensation. We also include in selling and marketing expense certain new product development costs, including market research and new product testing.

Operating expenses increased $8.9 million, or 1.9%, and decreased 110 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The primary drivers of changes in operating expenses by segment are explained below:
• North America operating expenses increased $22.6 million, or 7.5%, and decreased 60 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by $11.7 million of customer-related charges in connection with the bankruptcy of Art Van Furniture, LLC and affiliates to fully reserve trade receivables and other assets associated with this account, as well as incremental bad debt expense primarily related to the bankruptcy of one department store in the U.S. Additionally, we recognized $7.0 million of asset impairment charges related to the write-off of certain sales and marketing assets driven by the current macro-economic environment. These increases were offset by lower operating expenses as a result of cost actions in the quarter.
• International operating expenses decreased $6.5 million, or 6.2% and increased 370 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by decreases in advertising and other selling and marketing investments, partially offset by increased bad debt expense. Additionally, we incurred $3.4 million of restructuring costs associated with headcount reductions driven by the current macro-economic environment and $0.3 million of incremental costs related to global pandemic relief efforts, sanitation supplies and services and other items.
• Corporate operating expenses decreased $7.2 million, or 13.0%. In the first half of 2019, we recorded $4.1 million of professional fees related to the acquisition of Sleep Outfitters, which were not repeated in 2020.
Research and development expenses were $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Operating income increased $17.2 million and operating margin improved 70 basis points. The primary drivers of changes in operating income and operating margin by segment are discussed below:
• North America operating income increased $26.4 million and operating margin improved 90 basis points. The improvement in operating margin was primarily driven by favorable operating expense leverage of 280 basis points and the improvement in gross margin of 20 basis points. These improvements were offset by $11.7 million of
customer-related charges in connection with the bankruptcy of Art Van Furniture, LLC and affiliates to fully reserve trade receivables and other assets associated with this account. Additionally, we recorded $7.0 million of asset impairment charges related to the write-off of certain sales and marketing assets driven by the current macro-economic environment and incurred $4.1 million of incremental costs related to global pandemic relief efforts, sanitation supplies and services and other items.
• International operating income decreased $16.4 million and operating margin declined 360 basis points. The decline in operating margin was primarily driven by the fixed cost deleverage on operating expenses of 110 basis points and increased bad debt expense. Additionally, we incurred $3.4 million of restructuring costs associated with headcount reductions driven by the current macro-economic environment and $0.8 million of incremental costs related to global pandemic relief efforts, sanitation supplies and services and other items. These declines were partially offset by the improvement in gross margin of 40 basis points.
• Corporate operating expenses decreased $7.2 million, which positively impacted our consolidated operating margin by 50 basis points. In the first half of 2019, we recorded $4.1 million of professional fees related to the Sleep Outfitters Acquisition, which were not repeated in 2020.

The effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 included a net unfavorable impact of discrete items, primarily related to the impact of the likelihood of realization of certain deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate for the for the six months ended June 30, 2019 included a net unfavorable impact of discrete items primarily related to the sale of a certain interest in our Asia-Pacific joint venture and the impact of certain stock compensation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our principal sources of funds are cash flows from operations, borrowings made pursuant to our credit facilities and cash and cash equivalents on hand. Principal uses of funds consist of payments of principal and interest on our debt facilities, share repurchases, capital expenditures and working capital needs. As of June 30, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of $56.2 million due to the 364-Day Loan of $200 million, which is classified as a current liability. It is our intent to repay that loan with current cash and funds generated from operations no later than its May 2021 maturity date. We maintain the financial flexibility to finance this loan on a long-term basis under our revolving senior secured credit facility if needed. Total availability under our revolving senior secured credit facility, which matures in 2024, was $423.9 million as of June 30, 2020.
At June 30, 2020, total cash and cash equivalents were $146.8 million, of which $122.6 million was held in the U.S. and $24.2 million was held by subsidiaries outside of the U.S. The amount of cash and cash equivalents held by subsidiaries outside of the U.S. and not readily convertible into the U.S. Dollar or other major foreign currencies is not material to our overall liquidity or financial position. The significant increase in our cash holdings since December 31, 2019 reflects our decision to maintain on-hand liquidity to provide greater flexibility in response to the continued impact of COVID-19.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Continuing Operations
The table below presents net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities from continuing operations for the periods indicated below:
Six Months Ended June 30,

Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operations:
Operating activities $ 170.4 $ 45.9
Investing activities (87.2) (46.7)
Financing activities 1.4 (4.0)
Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations increased $124.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was driven by strong operational performance in the period.
Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations increased $40.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to cash used to acquire the Sherwood Bedding business and planned capital expenditures.
Cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations increased $5.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had net borrowings of $207.0 million on our credit facilities, including $200 million in additional financing provided under the new 364-Day Loan, as compared to net repayments of $0.6 million in 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, we repurchased $187.5 million and $2.3 million of our common stock under our share repurchase program. In 2020, these repurchases were largely made in the first quarter prior to the impact of COVID-19 on our business. Additionally, we repurchased $12.0 million and $3.2 million of our common stock which was withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to stock compensation during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Cash Used in Discontinued Operations
Net cash used in operating, investing and financing activities from discontinued operations for the periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was not material.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures totaled $49.4 million and $39.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We currently expect our 2020 capital expenditures to be approximately $100 to $110 million, which includes investments in our U.S. enterprise resource planning projects and domestic manufacturing facility.
Indebtedness
Our total debt increased to $1,760.8 million as of June 30, 2020 from $1,547.0 million as of December 31, 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, we took initial actions to mitigate the impact of the material slowdown in business activity resulting from COVID-19 and to provide greater financial flexibility, which included a decision to borrow $300 million on our revolving senior secured credit facility. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we entered into a new $200 million 364-Day Loan. We used the proceeds from this new facility and cash on-hand to repay amounts previously drawn on our revolving senior secured credit facility. Total availability under our revolving senior secured credit facility was $423.9 million as of June 30, 2020, which matures in 2024.
As of June 30, 2020, our ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, in accordance with our 2019 Credit Agreement was 2.83 times. Our leverage ratio as of June 30, 2020 was the lowest in our history. This ratio is within the terms of the financial covenants for the maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio as set forth in the 2019 Credit Agreement, which limits this ratio to 5.00 times. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants in our debt agreements, and we do not anticipate material issues under any debt agreements based on current facts and circumstances.
33
Table of Contents
Our debt agreements contain certain covenants that limit restricted payments, including share repurchases and dividends. The 364-Day Loan did not amend financial covenants under the 2019 Credit Agreement. Under the amendment we agreed to certain restrictive provisions, including limitations on our ability to repurchase shares and make certain investments for the duration of the 364-Day Loan. The 2019 Credit Agreement, 2023 Senior Notes and 2026 Senior Notes contain similar limitations which, subject to other conditions, allow unlimited restricted payments at times when the ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, remains below 3.5 times. In addition, these agreements permit limited restricted payments under certain conditions when the ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA is above 3.5 times. The limit on restricted payments under the 2019 Credit Agreement, 2023 Senior Notes and 2026 Senior Notes is in part determined by a basket that grows at 50% of adjusted net income each quarter, reduced by restricted payments that are not otherwise permitted.
For additional information, refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Information" below for the calculation of the ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA calculated in accordance with the 2019 Credit Agreement. Both consolidated indebtedness and adjusted EBITDA as used in discussion of the 2019 Credit Agreement are non-GAAP financial measures and do not purport to be alternatives to net income as a measure of operating performance or total debt.
Debt Securities Guaranteed by Subsidiaries
The $450.0 million and $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2023 Senior Notes and 2026 Senior Notes (collectively the "Senior Notes"), respectively, are general unsecured senior obligations of Tempur Sealy International and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by all of Tempur Sealy International’s 100% directly or indirectly owned domestic subsidiaries (together, the "Obligor Group"). The foreign subsidiaries represent the foreign operations of the Company and do not guarantee the Senior Notes.
The Senior Notes rank equally with or senior to all debt of Tempur Sealy International and the Obligor Group, but are effectively junior to all secured debt, including obligations under the 2019 Credit Agreement and the 364-Day Loan, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. Subject to certain restrictions, Tempur Sealy International and the restricted subsidiaries under the applicable indenture may incur additional secured debt. Claims of creditors of non-guarantor subsidiaries, including trade creditors, and creditors holding debt and guarantees issued by those subsidiaries, and claims of preferred stockholders (if any) of those subsidiaries generally will have priority with respect to the assets and earnings of those subsidiaries over the claims of creditors of the holders of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes and each guarantee are therefore effectively subordinated to creditors (including trade creditors) and preferred stockholders (if any) of non-guarantor subsidiaries.
Under the applicable indenture, each guarantee is limited to the maximum amount that would not render the subsidiary guarantor's obligations subject to avoidance under the applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. By virtue of this limitation, a subsidiary guarantor's obligation under its guarantee could be significantly less than amounts payable with respect to the Senior Notes, or could be reduced to zero, depending upon the amount of other obligations of such guarantor.
A subsidiary guarantor will be released from its obligations under the applicable indenture governing the Senior Notes when: (a) the subsidiary guarantor is sold or sells all or substantially all of its assets; (b) the subsidiary is declared "unrestricted" under the applicable indenture; (c) the subsidiary’s guarantee of indebtedness under the 2019 Credit Agreement (as it may be amended, refinanced or replaced) is released (other than a discharge through repayment); (d) the requirements for legal or covenant defeasance or discharge of the applicable indenture have been satisfied; (e) the subsidiary is liquidated or dissolved in accordance with the applicable indenture; or (f) the occurrence of any covenant suspension. The principal elimination entries relate to investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions, including transactions with the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary guarantors and non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Company has accounted for its investments in its subsidiaries under the equity method.
In March 2020, the SEC adopted final rules that amend the financial disclosure requirements for subsidiary issuers and guarantors of registered debt securities under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, permitting registrants to disclose summarized financial information for such subsidiary issuers and guarantors. The rule is effective January 4, 2021; however, earlier compliance is permitted. We elected to early comply with this rule.

Share Repurchase Program
Our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program in 2016 pursuant to which we were authorized to repurchase shares of our common stock for a total repurchase price of not more than $800.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased 2.6 million shares for approximately $187.5 million. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $131.3 million remaining under our existing share repurchase authorization. In February 2020, the Board of Directors authorized an increase, of $194.2 million, to our share repurchase authorization of Tempur Sealy International's common stock to $300.0 million. Share repurchases under this program may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchases or otherwise, at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. These repurchases may be funded by operating cash flows and/or borrowings under our debt arrangements. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, financing and regulatory requirements and other market conditions. The program is subject to certain limitations under our debt agreements. The program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
35
Table of Contents
Repurchases may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when we might otherwise be precluded from doing so under federal securities laws.
We ceased all share repurchase activity in March 2020. We will manage our share repurchase program based on current and expected cash flows, share price and alternative investment opportunities, though in connection with the 364-Day Loan, we agreed to certain limitations on our ability to repurchase shares and make investments while the 364-Day Loan is outstanding. For a complete description of our share repurchase program, please refer to ITEM 5 under Part II, "Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities," in the 2019 Annual Report. Please also refer to "Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities" in ITEM 2(c) of Part II of this Report.
Future Liquidity Sources and Uses
As of June 30, 2020, we had $611.5 million of liquidity, including $146.8 million of cash on hand and $423.9 million available under our revolving senior secured credit facility. We also had availability of $40.8 million under our securitization facility. In addition, we expect to generate significant cash flow from operations in the full year of 2020. We believe that cash flow from operations, availability under our existing credit facilities and arrangements, current cash balances and the ability to obtain other financing, if necessary, will provide adequate cash funds for our foreseeable working capital needs, necessary capital expenditures, and debt service obligations.
We continue to take actions intended to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets. In addition to actions taken in the first quarter, additional actions taken in the second quarter of 2020 include:
• Entered into a new $200 million 364-Day Loan to enhance liquidity. We used the proceeds from this new facility and cash on-hand to repay amounts previously drawn on our revolving senior secured credit facility. Total availability on our revolving senior secured credit facility, which matures in 2024, is $423.9 million as of June 30, 2020.
• Continued the suspension of our share repurchase program. Our 364-Day Loan contains a restriction on share repurchases while the loan is outstanding.
As of June 30, 2020, we had $1,760.8 million in total debt outstanding and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, of $1,614.9 million. Leverage based on the ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA per credit facility, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was 2.83 times for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2020, the lowest in our history. We lowered our target leverage ratio for the second time in the last 12 months. Our new revised target range is 2.0 to 3.0 times. The reduction in our leverage target is not due to any market concerns; it is a strategic move to provide flexibility. As highlighted through the current environment, we have always seen our financial strength as a competitive advantage and part of our long-term strategy. Total cash interest payments related to our borrowings are expected to be approximately $80 to $85 million in 2020.
Our debt service obligations could, under certain circumstances, have material consequences to our stockholders. Similarly, our cash requirements are subject to change as business conditions warrant and opportunities arise. The timing and size of any new business ventures or acquisitions that we may complete may also impact our cash requirements and debt service obligations. For information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on our business, including our liquidity and capital resources, please refer to "Risk Factors" in ITEM 1A of Part II of this Report.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
We provide information regarding adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income (expense), adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA (including COVID-19 charges), adjusted EBITDA per credit facility, consolidated indebtedness and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash, which are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income, earnings per share, gross profit, gross margin, operating income (expense), operating margin or an alternative to total debt as a measure of liquidity. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with performance measures that better reflect our underlying operations and trends, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income, gross profit, gross margin, operating income (expense) and operating margin. The adjustments we make to derive the non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments to exclude items that may cause short-term fluctuations in the nearest GAAP financial measure, but which we do not consider to be the fundamental attributes or primary drivers of our business.
36
Table of Contents
We believe that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of our underlying results from continuing operations and trends, and we use these measures along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage our business, to evaluate our consolidated and business segment performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, to establish operational goals and to provide continuity to investors for comparability purposes. Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP measures include that these measures do not present all of the amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be construed as more significant than comparable financial measures defined by GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For more information about these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measure, please refer to the reconciliations on the following pages.

(1) In the second quarter of 2020, we recorded $4.9 million of incremental operating costs associated with the global pandemic. Cost of sales included $4.5 million of costs for relief efforts, increased sanitation supplies and services and other items. Operating expenses included $0.4 million of charges related to increased sanitation supplies and services.
(2) In the second quarter of 2020, we recorded $7.0 million of asset impairment charges related to the write-off of certain sales and marketing assets driven by the current macro-economic environment.
(3) In the second quarter of 2020, we incurred $3.4 million of restructuring costs associated with International headcount reductions driven by the current macro-economic environment.
(4) We recorded $1.3 million of charges related to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)", in the second quarter of 2020.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (including COVID-19 charges), Adjusted EBITDA per Credit Facility and Consolidated Indebtedness Less Netted Cash
The following reconciliations are provided below:
• Net income to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA (including COVID-19 charges) and adjusted EBITDA per credit facility
• Ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA per credit facility
• Total debt, net to consolidated indebtedness less netted cash
We believe that presenting these non-GAAP measures provides investors with useful information with respect to our operating performance, cash flow generation and comparisons from period to period, as well as general information about our progress in reducing our leverage.
The 2019 Credit Agreement provides the definition of adjusted EBITDA (“adjusted EBITDA per credit facility”). In the second quarter of 2020, in determining adjusted EBITDA per credit facility, we made an adjustment for COVID-19 charges that was not made to adjusted EBITDA (including COVID-19 charges). Accordingly, we present adjusted EBITDA per credit facility to provide information regarding our compliance with requirements under the 2019 Credit Agreement.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of our reported net income to the calculations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (including COVID-19 charges) and adjusted EBITDA per credit facility for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

Under the 2019 Credit Agreement, the definition of adjusted EBITDA (which we refer to as "adjusted EBITDA per credit facility") contains certain restrictions that limit adjustments to net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2020, our adjustments to net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA did not exceed the allowable amount under the 2019 Credit Agreement.
The ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA per credit facility is 2.83 times for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2020. The 2019 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA of less than 5.00:1.00 times.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of our reported total debt to the calculation of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash as of June 30, 2020. "Consolidated Indebtedness" and "Netted Cash" are terms used in the 2019 Credit Agreement for purposes of certain financial covenants.
(in millions) June 30, 2020
Total debt, net $ 1,753.6
Plus: Deferred financing costs (1)
7.2
Consolidated indebtedness 1,760.8
Less: Netted cash (2)
145.9
Consolidated indebtedness less netted cash $ 1,614.9
(1) We present deferred financing costs as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For purposes of determining total debt for financial covenant purposes, we have added these costs back to total debt, net as calculated per the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(2) Netted cash includes cash and cash equivalents for domestic and foreign subsidiaries designated as restricted subsidiaries in the 2019 Credit Agreement.
