Business Overview
General
We are the world's leading bedding company, dedicated to transforming how the world sleeps. With superior capabilities in design, manufacturing, distribution and retail, we deliver breakthrough sleep solutions and serve the evolving needs of consumers in more than 100 countries worldwide through our fully-owned businesses, Tempur Sealy, Mattress Firm and Dreams.
We operate in three segments: Mattress Firm, Tempur Sealy North America and Tempur Sealy International. These segments are strategic business units that are managed separately. Our Mattress Firm segment consists of retail stores and distribution centers located in the U.S. Our Tempur Sealy North America segment consists of manufacturing, distribution and retail subsidiaries and licensees located in the U.S., Canada and Mexico (other than Mattress Firm retail and distribution locations). Our Tempur Sealy International segment consists of manufacturing, distribution and retail subsidiaries, joint ventures and licensees located in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America (other than Mexico). Corporate operating expenses are not included in any of the segments and are presented separately as a reconciling item to consolidated results. We evaluate segment performance based on net sales, gross profit and operating income. For additional information refer to Note 12, "Business Segment Information," included in Part I, ITEM 1 of this Report.
Our portfolio includes the most highly recognized brands in the industry, including Tempur-Pedic®, Sealy® and Stearns & Foster® and our global omni-channel platform enables us to meet consumers wherever they shop, offering a personal connection and innovation to provide a unique retail experience and tailored sleep solutions.
As of March 31, 2026, we operated 2,839 company-owned stores, including 2,161 Mattress Firm stores, Tempur Sealy owned stores, Dreams stores and joint venture stores. Our distribution model operates through an omni-channel strategy. The Mattress Firm segment sells products through one channel: Direct. The Tempur Sealy North America and Tempur Sealy International operating business segments sell products through two channels: Direct and Wholesale. Our Direct channel includes product sales through company-owned stores, online and call centers. Our Wholesale channel includes all product sales to third-party retailers, including third-party distribution, hospitality and healthcare.

General Business and Economic Conditions
We believe the bedding industry is structured for sustained growth, driven by product innovation, sleep technology advancements, consumer confidence, housing formations and population growth. In our opinion, the industry is no longer engaged in uneconomical retail store expansion, startups have shifted from uneconomical strategies to becoming profitable and legacy retailers and manufacturers have become skilled in producing profitable online sales.
Over the last decade, consumers have made the connection between a good night's sleep and overall health and wellness. As consumers make this connection, they are willing to invest more in their bedding purchases, which positions us well for long-term growth.
The global bedding industry was challenged in 2025 due to certain macroeconomic pressures on the consumer, which continued during the first quarter of 2026. Ongoing geopolitical conflicts, including trade disputes and the imposition of tariffs, along with the U.S. government shutdowns, may also introduce further uncertainty for the consumer. We have taken actions to mitigate the impact of proposed tariffs, and we implemented pricing actions to mitigate the remaining impact. The majority of our products sold in the U.S. are also manufactured in the U.S. Accordingly, we believe proposed tariffs will not have a material impact on our results of operations in 2026. However, the duration and extent of tariffs remain uncertain, and we are continuing to evaluate the potential future impacts of the imposition of tariffs. We expect to outperform the bedding industry as a result of our investments in new product launches and continued investments in innovation, quality, advertising and customer service.
Definitive Agreement with Leggett & Platt, Incorporated
On April 13, 2026, Somnigroup International and Leggett & Platt, Incorporated ("Leggett & Platt") entered into a definitive agreement (the "Merger Agreement") for a proposed business acquisition in which Somnigroup International, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, will acquire Leggett & Platt in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $2.5 billion based on the closing price of Somnigroup International's common stock as of April 10, 2026 and inclusive of Leggett & Platt's existing indebtedness.
The transaction is currently anticipated to close by year-end 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval by Leggett & Platt’s shareholders and receipt of applicable regulatory approvals. The transaction does not require Somnigroup International shareholder approval. Following the close of the transaction, Leggett & Platt is expected to operate as a separate business unit within Somnigroup and to maintain its offices in Carthage, Missouri.
Acquisition of Mattress Firm
On February 5, 2025, we completed the Mattress Firm Acquisition for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.1 billion, net of cash acquired of $0.3 billion. The aggregate purchase price consisted of $3.1 billion in cash and approximately 34.2 million shares of common stock valued at $65.65 per share, which represents the simple average of the opening and closing price per share of our common stock on the NYSE on the trading day immediately prior to the date of acquisition, with the value of any fractional shares paid in cash.
Mattress Firm operates as a separate business segment. Mattress Firm's financial results for the period February 5, 2025 through March 31, 2025 (the "stub period") are included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
On May 1, 2025, we completed the previously announced divestiture of 73 Mattress Firm retail locations and our Sleep Outfitters subsidiary, which includes 103 specialty mattress retail locations and seven distribution centers, to MW SO Holdings Company, LLC ("Mattress Warehouse").
Product Launches
In 2026, we plan to launch an all new collection of Stearns & Foster products in North America. This new line is designed to further elevate our high‑end traditional innerspring brand by introducing incremental technologies, expanding our range of hybrid offerings and providing a refreshed aesthetic.

• Total net sales increased 12.3% to $1,801.5 million as compared to $1,604.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by the inclusion of Mattress Firm sales for a full quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2025, which included Mattress Firm for the stub period.
• Gross margin was 43.1% as compared to 36.2% in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross margin (1) was 43.6% as compared to 42.2% in the first quarter of 2025.
• Operating income increased 1,317.4% to $187.1 million as compared to $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating income (1) increased 17.4% to $214.6 million as compared to $182.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. Both were primarily driven by the inclusion of Mattress Firm and realized sales and cost synergies.
• Net income increased 414.8% to $104.2 million as compared to net loss of $(33.1) million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income (1) increased 28.4% to $124.5 million as compared to $97.0 million in the first quarter of 2025.

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, 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.

Total net sales $ 1,801.5 $ 1,604.7 $ 885.9 $ 593.7 $ 563.5 $ 706.2 $ 352.1 $ 304.8
Net sales increased 12.3%, and on a constant currency basis increased 10.4%. The change in net sales was driven by the following:
• Mattress Firm net sales increased $292.2 million, or 49.2%, primarily driven by the inclusion of net sales for a full quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2025, which included Mattress Firm for the stub period. All Mattress Firm sales are reported through the direct channel.
• Tempur Sealy North America net sales decreased $142.7 million, or 20.2%, net sales in the Wholesale channel decreased $111.0 million, primarily driven by the accounting elimination of sales to Mattress Firm for a full quarter in 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025, which eliminated sales to Mattress Firm for the stub period. Net sales in the Direct channel decreased $31.7 million, or 26.0%, primarily driven by a decrease in sales from the divestiture of Sleep Outfitters in the second quarter of 2025.
• Tempur Sealy International net sales increased $47.3 million, or 15.5%, primarily driven by strong performance in key markets. On a constant currency basis, International net sales increased 7.2%. Net sales in the Direct channel increased 7.5% on a constant currency basis. Net sales in the Wholesale channel increased 6.7% on a constant currency basis.
GROSS PROFIT

(in millions, except percentages) Gross Profit Gross Margin Gross Profit Gross Margin Margin Change
Tempur Sealy North America $ 326.4 57.9 % $ 240.0 34.0 % 23.9 %
Tempur Sealy International 177.6 50.4 % 149.3 49.0 % 1.4 %
Mattress Firm 272.9 30.8 % 191.2 32.2 % (1.4) %
Consolidated gross margin $ 776.9 43.1 % $ 580.5 36.2 % 6.9 %
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. Cost of sales also includes retail store occupancy costs such as rent, common area maintenance charges, real estate and other asset-based taxes, general maintenance, utilities, depreciation and certain insurance expenses.
Our gross margin is primarily impacted by the relative amount of net sales contributed by our premium or value products. Our premium products have higher gross margins than our value products. An increase in sales of our premium priced products can positively impact gross margins, while an increase in sales of our value priced products can negatively impact gross margins across all segments. Our margins are also impacted by the relative amount of net sales contributed by each channel. Sales in our Direct channel have higher gross margins than sales in our Wholesale channel.
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; vendor incentives earned on supply agreements, retail store fixed cost leverage based on unit volumes and costs associated with new product introductions. Future changes in raw material prices could have a significant impact on our gross margin.
Gross margin improved 690 basis points. The primary drivers of changes in gross margin by segment are discussed below:
• Mattress Firm gross margin declined 140 basis points. The decline in gross margin was primarily driven by investments in promotional expenses of 110 basis points, product mix of 100 basis points and fixed cost deleverage of 90 basis points. Additionally, in 2025, we incurred $17.4 million of one-time business combination accounting adjustments related to the Mattress Firm Acquisition, which were not incurred in 2026.
• Tempur Sealy North America gross margin improved 2,390 basis points. The improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by the achievement of synergies of 620 basis points, the elimination of sales to Mattress Firm of 450 basis points, lower product launch costs and operational efficiencies. Additionally, in 2025, we incurred $78.0 million of one-time business combination accounting adjustments related to the Mattress Firm Acquisition, which were not incurred in 2026.
• Tempur Sealy International gross margin improved 140 basis points. The improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by favorable mix of 70 basis points and operational efficiencies.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Selling and marketing expenses include sales and marketing compensation, advertising and media production associated with the promotion of our brands, and other marketing materials such as catalogs, brochures, videos, product samples, direct customer mailings and point of purchase materials. 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, distribution and retail store operations, expenses for administrative functions and research and development costs.

Operating expenses increased $23.3 million, or 4.1%, and decreased 260 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The primary drivers of changes in operating expenses by segment are explained below:
• Mattress Firm operating expenses increased $55.1 million, or 29.9%, and decreased 410 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The increase was primarily driven by the inclusion of operating expenses for a full quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2025, which included operating expenses for the stub period.
• Tempur Sealy North America operating expenses decreased $5.0 million, or 2.5%, and increased 630 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by decreases in general, administrative and other expenses and other selling and marketing, partially offset by investments in advertising.
• Tempur Sealy International operating expenses increased $14.8 million, or 14.4%, and decreased 30 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by investments in growth initiatives.
• Corporate operating expenses decreased $41.6 million, or 48.9%. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by decreased transaction costs related to the Mattress Firm Acquisition.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $8.5 million, compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $0.4 million, or 4.9%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Our principal sources of funds are cash flows from operations, supplemented with borrowings in the capital markets and made pursuant to our credit facilities and cash and cash equivalents on hand. Primary uses of funds consist of payments of principal and interest on our debt facilities, acquisitions, payments of dividends to our shareholders, capital expenditures and working capital needs.
Cash and Working Capital
Cash and cash equivalents were $110.8 million and $134.9 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. We had a working capital deficit of $360.5 million as of March 31, 2026, as compared to working capital deficit of $271.1 million as of December 31, 2025.
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.
Cash Provided by (Used in) Operations
The table below presents net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities from operations for the periods indicated below:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions) 2026 2025
Net cash provided by (used in) operations:
Operating activities $ 246.5 $ 106.4
Investing activities (60.7) (2,858.9)
Financing activities (204.7) 1,142.1
Cash provided by operating activities increased $140.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by strong operational performance across all segments.
Cash used in investing activities decreased $2,798.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by the Mattress Firm Acquisition in 2025.
Cash used in financing activities decreased $1,346.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025. We had net repayments of $134.4 million on our credit facilities in 2026 as compared to net borrowings of $1,217.3 million in 2025, which was driven by the Mattress Firm Acquisition. Share repurchases of our common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of our long-term incentive plans decreased $11.3 million in 2026 as compared to in 2025. Dividends paid to shareholders increased $3.8 million in 2026 as compared to 2025.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures totaled $60.5 million and $24.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We currently expect our 2026 capital expenditures to be approximately $225 million, including $75 million of one-time investments to refresh Mattress Firm stores.
Indebtedness
Our total debt decreased to $4,577.9 million as of March 31, 2026 from $4,717.3 million as of December 31, 2025. Total availability under our revolving senior secured credit facility was $762.7 million as of March 31, 2026. Refer to Note 5, "Debt" in the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements," under Part I, ITEM 1 for further discussion of our debt.
As of March 31, 2026, our ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, in accordance with our 2023 Credit Agreement was 3.07 times. This ratio is within the terms of the financial covenants for the maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio as set forth in the 2023 Credit Agreement, which limits this ratio to 5.00 times. As of March 31, 2026, 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.
Our debt agreements contain certain covenants that limit restricted payments, including share repurchases and dividends. The 2023 Credit Agreement, 2029 Senior Notes and 2031 Senior Notes contain similar limitations which, subject to certain 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 3.75 times in the case of the 2023 Credit Agreement and remains below 3.50 times in the cases of the 2029 Senior Notes and 2031 Senior Notes. 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 3.75 times in the case of the 2023 Credit Agreement and above 3.50 times in the cases of the 2029 Senior Notes and 2031 Senior Notes. The limit on restricted payments under the 2023 Credit Agreement, 2029 Senior Notes and 2031 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 2023 Credit Agreement. Both consolidated indebtedness and adjusted EBITDA as used in discussion of the 2023 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.
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, and the Board of Directors has authorized increases to this authorization from time to time. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not repurchase shares under our share repurchase program. As of March 31, 2026, we had $774.5 million remaining under our share repurchase authorization.
We manage our share repurchase program based on current and expected cash flows, share price and alternative investment opportunities. In 2026, we expect to return to our target leverage range of 2.0 to 3.0 times and allocate at least 50% of free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to dividends and share repurchases. 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 2025 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 March 31, 2026, we had $873.5 million of liquidity, including $110.8 million of cash on hand and $762.7 million available under our 2023 Credit Agreement. In addition, we expect to generate cash flow from operations in the full year 2026. 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, debt service obligations and dividend payments.
Our capital allocation strategy follows a balanced approach focused on supporting the business, returning shareholder value through strategic acquisition opportunities that enhance our global competitiveness, as well as quarterly dividends and opportunistic share repurchases. In 2026, we expect to return to our target leverage range of 2.0 to 3.0 times and allocate approximately 50% of free cash flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to dividends and share repurchases. During the first quarter of 2026, we repurchased 0.3 million shares valued at $26.2 million to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of certain long-term incentive awards in the ordinary course of business.
The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.17 per share for the second quarter of 2026. The dividend is payable on June 4, 2026 to shareholders of record as of May 21, 2026.
As of March 31, 2026, we had $4,577.9 million in total debt outstanding and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, of $4,467.1 million. Leverage based on the ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was 3.07 times for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2026. We currently expect our target leverage ratio to return to 2.0 to 3.0 times in 2026. Total cash interest payments related to our borrowings are expected to be approximately $230 million in 2026.
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.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
We provide information regarding adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income (expense), adjusted operating margin, 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) and operating margin as a measure of operating performance, 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.
We believe that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of our underlying results from 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 financial 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.
