-- Reports Fourth Quarter EPS of $0.38 -- Company Announces $100
Million Share Repurchase Program LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 26
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tempur-Pedic International Inc.
(NYSE:TPX), the leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of
premium mattresses and pillows worldwide, today announced financial
results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2009.
The Company also announced a $100 million share repurchase program
and confirmed its financial guidance for 2010. FOURTH QUARTER
FINANCIAL SUMMARY -- Earnings per share (EPS) were $0.38 per
diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to adjusted
EPS of $0.17 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2008. GAAP
EPS in the fourth quarter of 2008 was $0.01, and reflects the $11.6
million tax provision related to the Company's repatriation of
foreign earnings. The Company reported net income of $29.1 million
for the fourth quarter of 2009 as compared to adjusted net income
of $12.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. GAAP net income in
the fourth quarter of 2008 was $1.1 million. For additional
information regarding adjusted EPS and adjusted net income (which
are non-GAAP measures), please refer to the reconciliation and
other information included in the attached schedule. -- Net sales
increased 29% to $244.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 from
$189.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. On a constant
currency basis, net sales increased 24%. Net sales in the domestic
segment increased 40%, while international segment net sales
increased 15%. On a constant currency basis, international segment
net sales increased 3%. -- Mattress sales increased 26% globally.
Mattress sales increased 34% in the domestic segment and 12% in the
international segment. On a constant currency basis, international
mattress sales were essentially unchanged. Pillow sales increased
23% globally. Pillow sales increased 39% domestically and 13%
internationally. On a constant currency basis, international pillow
sales increased 1%. -- Gross profit margin was 48.5% as compared to
43.0% in the fourth quarter of 2008. The gross profit margin
increased as a result of improved efficiencies in manufacturing,
lower commodity costs, fixed cost leverage related to higher
production volumes and improved pricing, partially offset by
geographic mix and new product introductions. -- Operating profit
margin was 19.3% as compared to 13.4% in the fourth quarter of
2008. -- The Company generated $14.6 million of operating cash flow
in the fourth quarter of 2009. -- During the quarter, the Company
reduced Total debt by $17.5 million to $297.5 million. As of
December 31, 2009, the Company's ratio of Funded debt to EBITDA was
1.68 times, well within the covenant in its credit facility, which
requires that this ratio not exceed 3.00 times. For additional
information about EBITDA and Funded debt (which are non-GAAP
measures) please refer to the reconciliation and other information
included in the attached schedule. FULL YEAR 2009 FINANCIAL SUMMARY
-- Earnings per share (EPS) were $1.12 per diluted share for the
full year 2009 as compared to adjusted EPS of $0.94 per diluted
share for the full year 2008. GAAP EPS was $0.79 for the full year
2008, and includes the $11.6 million tax provision related to the
repatriation of foreign earnings. -- Net sales declined 10% to
$831.2 million for the full year 2009 from $927.8 million for the
full year 2008. On a constant currency basis, net sales declined
9%. Net sales in the domestic segment declined 8%, while
international segment net sales declined 14%. On a constant
currency basis, international segment net sales declined 11%. --
Gross profit margin was 47.4% for the full year 2009 as compared to
43.2% for the full year 2008. The gross profit margin increased as
a result of improved efficiencies in manufacturing, lower commodity
costs, and improved pricing, partially offset by fixed cost
de-leverage related to lower production volumes. -- Operating
profit margin was 17.4% as compared to 14.4% for the full year
2008. -- For the full year 2009, the Company lowered Total debt by
$121.9 million to $297.5 million. Chief Executive Officer Mark
Sarvary commented, "Our fourth quarter and full year results
reflect a gradual improvement in the macro environment together
with success from sales and marketing initiatives. Our recent
product introductions and our new advertising campaign combined
with continued productivity improvements should allow us to build
on this performance in 2010." Chief Financial Officer Dale Williams
commented, "With respect to the authorization of a new share
repurchase program, we note that during 2009 we substantially
reduced both our total debt and leverage ratio. We view share
repurchases as an excellent means to return value to stockholders
over the long term." Share Repurchase Program The Board of
Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100 million of shares
of the Company's common stock. Stock repurchases under this program
may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchases
or otherwise, at times and in such amounts as management and a
committee of the Board deem appropriate. 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. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1
plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company
might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading
laws. This share repurchase program replaces the Company's prior
share repurchase authorization, and may be limited, suspended or
terminated at any time without prior notice. Financial Guidance The
Company confirmed its full year 2010 guidance for net sales and
earnings per share. It currently expects net sales for 2010 to
range from $950 million to $970 million. It currently expects EPS
for 2010 to range from $1.40 to $1.50 per diluted share. The
Company noted its expectations are based on information available
at the time of this release, and are subject to changing
conditions, many of which are outside the Company's control. The
Company noted its EPS guidance does not assume any benefit from a
potential reduction in shares outstanding related to its share
repurchase program. Conference Call Information Tempur-Pedic

Adjusted Earnings per share, EBITDA to Net Income and Funded debt
to Total debt Non-GAAP Measures (In thousands, except per common
share amounts) The Company provides information regarding Adjusted
Net income, Adjusted Earnings per share, EBITDA and Funded debt
which are not recognized terms under GAAP (Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles) and do not purport to be alternatives to Net
income as a measure of operating performance or Total debt. Because
not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations
may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted Net income, Adjusted
Earnings per share and EBITDA to the Company's Net income and
Earnings per share and a reconciliation of Funded debt to Total
debt are provided below. Management believes that the use of these
non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional
useful information with respect to the impact of the repatriation
of foreign earnings. Management also believes that the use of
EBITDA and Funded debt provides investors with useful information
with respect to the terms of the Company's credit facility.
