Sleep Number Announces Second Quarter 2020 Results

Sleep Number Corporation (Nasdaq: SNBR) today reported results for the quarter ended June 27, 2020.

“The mission of Sleep Number has never been more important or more relevant than it is today. The pandemic has heightened individuals’ concerns about their immunity and resilience, and there is increased understanding that sleep is vital for healthy living. With the proven quality sleep of our proprietary 360® smart beds, Sleep Number is at the forefront of delivering this life-changing benefit,” said Shelly Ibach, President and CEO. “Our increased relevance with consumers, combined with the significant competitive advantages of our integrated business model and the ingenuity of our purpose driven team, drove our stronger-than-expected second quarter results.”

Second Quarter Overview

  • Second quarter financial results reflect the significant impact of COVID-19
  • Net sales were $285 million, down 20% compared with $356 million last year
  • Gross profit rate of 57.2%, compared with 61.0% last year, reflecting product mix changes and sales deleverage as a result of COVID-19
  • Operating expense reduction of $35 million or 17% versus prior year, reflects immediate actions taken to reduce expenses
  • Net loss per diluted share of $0.45, compared to net income per diluted share of $0.14 last year

Cash Flows and Liquidity Review

  • Generated $87 million in net cash from operating activities for the first six months of 2020, up 24% versus last year, with year-to-date operating free cash flows of $65 million, up 79% versus prior year
  • Invested $22 million in year-to-date capital expenditures compared to $34 million for the prior year period
  • Recently acquired a patent portfolio from Gentherm to further strengthen our competitive position related to cooling and heating beds and bedding
  • Return on invested capital (ROIC) of 17.2% for the trailing twelve-month period, up 40 basis points versus the prior year comparable period
  • Leverage ratio of 2.8x EBITDAR at the end of the second quarter, compared with 3.0x for the same period last year (covenant maximum of 4.5x)
  • Cash and liquidity available under our credit facility was $295 million at the end of the second quarter, a $129 million increase versus the same period last year

Financial Outlook

On March 23, 2020, the company withdrew its fiscal 2020 financial guidance due to COVID-19. Given the continued uncertainty related to COVID-19, the company is not providing any further financial guidance at this time. The company expects to meet its liquidity needs from operating cash flows and its existing credit facility, while funding growth initiatives and other longer-term opportunities.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)
(in thousands)
We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) as net income plus: income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and asset impairments. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of our financial performance and our ability to generate cash from operating activities. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions used by other companies. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to the comparable GAAP financial measure:

Calculation of Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)
(in thousands)
 
ROIC is a financial measure we use to determine how efficiently we deploy our capital. It quantifies the return we earn on our invested capital. Management believes ROIC is also a useful metric for investors and financial analysts. We compute ROIC as outlined below. Our definition and calculation of ROIC may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions and calculations used by other companies.

1

Rent expense is added back to operating income to show the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.
 

2

Depreciation is based on the average of the last five fiscal quarters' ending capitalized operating lease obligations (see note 5) for the respective reporting periods with an assumed thirty-year useful life. This life assumption is based on our long-term participation in given markets though specific retail location lease commitments are generally 5 to 10 years at inception. This is subtracted from operating income to illustrate the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.
 

3

Reflects annual effective income tax rates, before discrete adjustments, of 23.7% and 24.2% for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
 

4

Long-term debt includes existing finance lease liabilities.
 

5

A multiple of eight times annual rent expense is used as an estimate for capitalizing our operating lease obligations. The methodology utilized aligns with the methodology of a nationally recognized credit rating agency.
 

6

Average invested capital represents the average of the last five fiscal quarters' ending invested capital balances.
 

7

ROIC equals NOPAT divided by average invested capital.
Note -Our ROIC calculation and data are considered non-GAAP financial measures and are not in accordance with, or preferable to, GAAP financial data. However, we are providing this information as we believe it facilitates analysis of the Company's financial performance by investors and financial analysts.
