Business Overview

General

We are committed to improving the sleep of more people, every night, all around the world. As a leading designer, manufacturer, distributor and retailer of bedding products worldwide, we know how crucial a good night of sleep is to overall health and wellness. Utilizing over a century of knowledge and industry-leading innovation, we deliver award-winning products that provide breakthrough sleep solutions to consumers in over 100 countries.



We operate in two segments: North America and International. These segments are
strategic business units that are managed separately based on geography. Our
North America segment consists of manufacturing and distribution subsidiaries,
joint ventures and licensees located in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Our
International segment consists of manufacturing and distribution subsidiaries,
joint ventures and licensees located in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America
(other than Mexico). On August 2, 2021, we acquired Dreams Topco Limited and its
direct and indirect subsidiaries ("Dreams"). Dreams is also included in the
International segment. Corporate operating expenses are not included in either
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 highly recognized brands include Tempur-Pedic®, Sealy® and Stearns & Foster®
and our non-branded offerings consist of value-focused private label and OEM
products. Our products allow for complementary merchandising strategies and are
sold through third-party retailers, our more than 650 company-owned and joint
venture operated retail stores worldwide and our e-commerce channel.

Our distribution model operates through an omni-channel strategy. We distribute
through two 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, online and call centers.

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. 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.

In the near term, we continue to see impacts on global consumer behavior from
macroeconomic pressures, particularly from strong inflation and a sense of
economic uncertainty. While we do not have any operations in Ukraine or Russia,
the war in Ukraine has affected both international and domestic markets. The war
has introduced elements of risk into the supply chain and is affecting global
consumer confidence. While we have taken actions that we believe have largely
mitigated our broader supply chain risk, the decline in consumer confidence has
impacted our order trends, which we expect to continue.

In the second quarter of 2022, we implemented our global enterprise resource
planning ("ERP") system at all Sealy domestic manufacturing facilities. This
transition unfavorably impacted our results for the Sealy business in our North
America segment for the first nine months of 2022, which we expect to improve in
the fourth quarter. The implementation of our common ERP system is expected to
drive long-term efficiencies for our global operations, enhance cybersecurity,
facilitate customer communications regarding order status and improve our
direct-to-consumer capabilities.

The COVID-19 global pandemic continues to impact our global operations as
variants appear in the markets in which we operate. COVID-19 variants in our
Asian markets and the resulting government mandated lockdowns may negatively
impact our wholly-owned and joint-venture operations in the region.

Our recent actions to expand capacity, diversify our supplier base, increase our
safety stock and improve vendor and customer communications have strengthened
our supply chain, putting us in a more favorable position to meet consumer
demand. Though geopolitical and pandemic-related disruptions continue to create
challenges, we believe the many actions we have taken to further insulate our
supply chain have largely mitigated their impact.

Product Launches



In the second quarter of 2022, we completed the rollout of our North American
Sealy portfolio featuring new models in our Posturepedic PlusTM, Posturepedic®
and Essentials product lines. We also launched our Sealy Naturals eco-friendly
mattress collection designed with sustainability and environmental preservation
in mind. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we began a rollout of a complete refresh
of our North American Stearns & Foster® portfolio, and launched the Sealy
FlexGrid™ mattress line with a best-in-class pressure-relieving gel grid layer
at a consumer-appealing, mid-market price point.

In 2023, we plan to introduce a new line of Tempur® Breeze products, along with
a new line of adjustable bases with incremental consumer-focused features and
benefits in our North America segment. In our International segment, we plan to
launch an all-new line of Tempur® products in Europe and Asia-Pacific with the
objective of reaching a new segment of international consumers. This new line of
products will broaden Tempur®'s price range with the super-premium average
selling price ceiling maintained and the floor expanded into the premium
category.

Our global 2022 marketing plan is to support our innovative bedding products
through investing significant marketing dollars to promote our worldwide brands
and product launches.

Acquisition of Dreams

On August 2, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Dreams, for a cash purchase
price of $476.7 million, which included $49.5 million of cash acquired. The
transaction was funded using cash on hand and bank financing. As a multi-branded
retailer, Dreams sells a variety of products across a range of price points with
a margin profile lower than our historical International segment margins.

•Operating income decreased 19.5% to $201.0 million as compared to $249.8
million in the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted operating income, which is a
non-GAAP financial measure, was $206.7 million as compared to $252.1 million in
the third quarter of 2021.
•Net income decreased 25.2% to $132.7 million as compared to $177.4 million in

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 decreased 5.5%, and on a constant currency basis decreased 3.1%. The change in net sales was driven by the following:

•North America net sales decreased $62.3 million, or 5.6%. On a constant currency basis, North America net sales decreased 5.4%. Net sales in the Wholesale channel decreased $73.1 million, or 7.4%, primarily driven by macroeconomic pressures impacting U.S. consumer behavior. Net sales in the Direct channel increased $10.8 million, or 8.4%, primarily driven by growth in our e-commerce channel and company-owned stores.



•International net sales decreased $12.7 million, or 5.3%, primarily due to
unfavorable foreign exchange. On a constant currency basis, International net
sales increased 7.4%. Net sales in the Wholesale channel decreased 9.3% on a
constant currency basis. Net sales in the Direct channel increased 21.3% on a
constant currency basis, primarily driven by the acquisition of Dreams in August
2021.

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 premium or value products. Our value products have a significantly lower gross margin than our premium products. If sales of our value priced products increase relative to sales of our premium priced 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 30 basis points. The primary drivers of changes in gross margin by segment are discussed below:



•North America gross margin declined 10 basis points. The decline in gross
margin was primarily driven by operational investments to service our customers
of 200 basis points. Additionally, we incurred $2.3 million of manufacturing
facility ERP system transition costs and $1.7 million of operational start-up
costs related to the capacity expansion of our manufacturing and distribution
facilities in the U.S., which contributed to the decline in gross margin. These
declines were partially offset by pricing actions to offset commodity inflation
of 130 basis points and favorable brand mix of 110 basis points.

•International gross margin declined 120 basis points. The decline in gross
margin was primarily driven by unfavorable mix of 120 basis points and
unfavorable foreign exchange. Dreams' margin profile is lower than our
historical international margins as they sell a variety of products across a
range of price points.

                               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 increased $10.9 million, or 3.3%, and increased 230 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 $5.6 million, or 2.7%, and increased
160 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The increase in operating
expenses was primarily driven by investments in advertising and expansion of our
company-owned store strategy. Additionally, we incurred $0.4 million of
professional fees related to the manufacturing facility ERP system transition.
These investments were partially offset by decreased variable compensation
expense.

•International operating expenses increased $6.2 million, or 7.2%, and increased
480 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The increase in operating
expenses was primarily driven by the acquisition of Dreams in August 2021.
Additionally, we incurred $0.6 million of restructuring costs associated with
headcount reductions.

•Corporate operating expenses decreased $0.9 million, or 2.4%, primarily driven by decreased variable compensation expense. Additionally, we incurred $0.6 million of restructuring costs associated with headcount reductions.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $6.6 million compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an decrease of $0.1 million, or 1.5%.

Operating income decreased $48.8 million and operating margin declined 270 basis
points. The primary drivers of changes in operating income and operating margin
by segment are discussed below:

•North America operating income decreased $32.0 million and operating margin
declined 180 basis points. The decline in operating margin was primarily driven
by operating expense deleverage of 160 basis points and the decline in gross
margin.

•International operating income decreased $17.7 million and operating margin
declined 660 basis points. The decline in operating margin was driven by
operating expense deleverage of 480 basis points, the decline in gross margin of
120 basis points, and the decline in Asia joint venture performance due to
COVID-19 related shutdowns.

•Corporate operating expenses decreased $0.9 million, which positively impacted our consolidated operating margin.

Our income tax provision includes income taxes associated with taxes currently
payable and deferred taxes and includes the impact of net operating losses for
certain of our foreign operations.

Our income tax provision decreased $17.6 million due to a decrease in income
before income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended
September 30, 2022 as compared to the same prior year period declined by 140
basis points. The effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory
rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 included the net favorable
impact of discrete items. The effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal
statutory tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 included the
favorable impact of the deductibility of stock compensation in the U.S. and
included a net unfavorable impact of other discrete items.

Net sales increased 4.6%, and on a constant currency basis increased 6.3%. The change in net sales was driven by the following:



•North America net sales decreased $63.3 million, or 2.1%. Net sales in the
Wholesale channel decreased $70.3 million, or 2.7%, primarily driven by
macroeconomic pressures impacting U.S. consumer behavior and the unfavorable
impact of our ERP system transition. Net sales in the Direct channel increased
$7.0 million, or 1.9%.

•International net sales increased $225.9 million, or 40.8%. On a constant
currency basis, International net sales increased 50.9%. Net sales in the
Wholesale channel decreased 5.4% on a constant currency basis. Net sales in the
Direct channel increased 139.2% on a constant currency basis, primarily driven
by the acquisition of Dreams in August 2021.

  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.

Gross margin declined 170 basis points. The primary drivers of changes in gross margin by segment are discussed below:



•North America gross margin declined 240 basis points. The decline in gross
margin was primarily driven by operational investments to service our customers
of 160 basis points and price increases to customers without a benefit to margin
of 160 basis points. Additionally, we incurred $7.7 million of manufacturing
facility ERP system transition costs and $4.2 million of operational start-up
costs related to the capacity expansion of our manufacturing and distribution
facilities in the U.S., which contributed to the decline in gross margin. These
declines were partially offset by favorable mix of 140 basis points.

•International gross margin declined 340 basis points. The decline in gross
margin was driven by unfavorable mix of 160 basis points, price increases to
customers without a benefit to margin of 150 basis points and the acquisition of
Dreams in August 2021. Dreams' margin profile is lower than our historical
international margins as they sell a variety of products across a range of price
points. These declines were partially offset by increased royalties of 110 basis
points.

  Operating expenses increased $128.1 million, or 14.0%, and increased 230 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 $23.8 million, or 3.9%, and
increased 120 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The increase in
operating expenses was primarily driven by advertising investments and expansion
of our company-owned store strategy. Additionally, we incurred $3.2 million of
professional fees related to the manufacturing facility ERP system transition
and $1.8 million of restructuring costs associated with headcount reductions.
These investments were partially offset by decreased variable compensation
expense.

•International operating expenses increased $102.3 million, or 51.6%, and
increased 280 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The increase in
operating expenses was primarily driven by the acquisition of Dreams and other
selling and marketing investments. Additionally, we incurred $0.6 million of
restructuring costs associated with headcount reductions.

•Corporate operating expenses increased $2.0 million, or 1.9%. The increase in
operating expenses was primarily driven by $2.7 million of restructuring costs
associated with headcount reductions and $1.2 million of expenses related to
manufacturing facility ERP system transition, offset by decreased variable
compensation expense.

Research and development expenses were $22.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to $19.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $2.2 million, or 11.1%.

Operating income decreased $128.0 million and operating margin declined 420 basis points. The primary drivers of changes in operating income and operating margin by segment are discussed below:



•North America operating income decreased $121.3 million and operating margin
declined 370 basis points. The decline in operating margin was primarily driven
by the decline in gross margin of 240 basis points and operating expense
deleverage of 120 basis points.

•International operating income decreased $4.7 million and operating margin
declined 790 basis points. The decline in operating margin was primarily driven
by the decline in gross margin of 340 basis points, operating expense deleverage
of 280 basis points and the decline in Asia joint venture performance due to
COVID-19 related shutdowns performance of 190 basis points.

•Corporate operating expenses increased $2.0 million, which negatively impacted our consolidated operating margin.

Interest expense, net, increased $25.6 million, or 55.9%. The increase in interest expense, net, was primarily driven by increased average levels of outstanding debt and higher interest rates on our variable rate debt.


                         LOSS ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

In the first half of 2021, we issued our 2029 Senior Notes and we redeemed our 2023 Senior Notes and our 2026 Senior Notes. Accordingly, we incurred $23.0 million of loss on extinguishment of debt in 2021.

Our income tax provision decreased $36.4 million due to a decrease in income
before income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September
30, 2022 as compared to the same prior year period declined 110 basis points.
The effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate for the
nine months ended September 30, 2022 included the net favorable impact of the
deductibility of stock compensation in the U.S., which were offset by the
unfavorable impact of other discrete items. The effective tax rate as compared

other discrete items.

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. Principal uses of funds consist of payments
of principal and interest on our debt facilities, share repurchases,
acquisitions, payments of dividends to our shareholders, capital expenditures
and working capital needs.

As of September 30, 2022, we had net working capital of $198.5 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $94.1 million, as compared to a working capital of $222.2 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $300.7 million, as of December 31, 2021.



At September 30, 2022, total cash and cash equivalents were $94.1 million, of
which $23.9 million was held in the U.S. and $70.2 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.

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:
                                                                       Nine Months Ended September 30,

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations decreased
$314.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the
same period in 2021. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was
driven by increased inventory investments, as well as the reduction of net
income. Our inventory increased significantly in the first nine months of 2022
as we increased our safety stock of Tempur-Pedic® finished goods, adjustable
bases and raw materials to better support our customers.

Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations decreased $283.2
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same
period in 2021. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was driven by
the Dreams acquisition in August 2021, which is partially offset by increased
capital expenditures in 2022.

Cash used in financing activities from continuing operations increased $590.5
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same
period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net
borrowings of $468.8 million on our credit facilities as compared to net
borrowings of $988.4 million in the same period in 2021, which included proceeds
of $1.6 billion from the issuance of our 2029 and 2031 Senior Notes, partially
offset by repayments of $250.0 million of our 2023 Senior Notes and $600.0
million of our 2026 Senior Notes in 2021. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 and 2021, we repurchased $637.2 million and $565.8 million,
respectively, of our common stock.

Cash Used in Discontinued Operations

Net cash used in operating, investing and financing activities from discontinued operations for the periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was not material.

Capital Expenditures



Capital expenditures totaled $216.0 million and $82.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We currently expect our
2022 capital expenditures to be over $275 million, which includes spend for our
new foam-pouring plant in Crawfordsville, Indiana, and other manufacturing and
distribution capacity expansion and growth initiatives. We expect our capital
expenditures to decrease significantly in 2023 and return to normal levels of
spend thereafter.

Indebtedness

Our total debt increased to $2,824.7 million as of September 30, 2022 from
$2,353.2 million as of December 31, 2021. Total availability under our revolving
senior secured credit facility was $425.4 million as of September 30, 2022,
which matures in 2024. 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 September 30, 2022, 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 2.77 times. 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 September 30, 2022, 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 2019 Credit Agreement, 2029
Senior Notes and 2031 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 3.50 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
3.50 times. The limit on restricted payments under the 2019 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 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.

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. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 17.6 million shares under
our share repurchase program for $591.2 million. As of September 30, 2022, we
had $809.5 million remaining under our share repurchase authorization.

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.
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 will manage our share repurchase program based on current and expected cash
flows, share price and alternative investment opportunities. 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 2021 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 September 30, 2022, we had $519.5 million of liquidity, including $94.1
million of cash on hand and $425.4 million available under our revolving senior
secured credit facility. In addition, we expect to generate cash flow from
operations in the full year 2022. 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.

Our capital allocation strategy follows a balanced approach focused on
supporting the business, returning shareholder value through share repurchases
and quarterly dividends as well as opportunistic and strategic acquisition
opportunities that enhance our global competitiveness. Additionally, we have
taken capital structure actions to optimize our balance sheet through extending
the maturities of our long-term debt.

The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.10 per share for the fourth
quarter of 2022. The dividend is payable on December 1, 2022 to shareholders of
record as of November 17, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, we had $2,824.7 million in total debt outstanding and
consolidated indebtedness less netted cash, which is a non-GAAP financial
measure, of $2,731.9 million. Leverage based on the ratio of consolidated
indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial
measure, was 2.77 times for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2022.
Our target range for our ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash,
which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is 2.0 to 3.0 times.

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" contained in ITEM 1A of Part I
of the 2021 Annual 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, 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, 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 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.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS



A reconciliation of reported net income to adjusted net income and the
calculation of adjusted EPS is provided below. We believe that the use of these
non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional useful
information with respect to the impact of various adjustments as described in
the footnotes below.
