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.

Capital Allocation

In the fourth quarter, we announced our new long-term capital allocation strategy, which includes a quarterly cash dividend beginning in 2021, an increase to our share repurchase authorization and a four-for-one stock split. Our complete capital allocation strategy includes the following components:



•Invest approximately $70 million annually for capital expenditures to invest in
our people, products and processes.
•Initiate a quarterly cash dividend beginning in early 2021, subject to approval
by the Board of Directors, targeting an annual distribution to our stockholders
of approximately 15% of net income.
•Resume our share repurchase program and target to repurchase at least 3% of
shares outstanding per year in the near-term, depending on market conditions.
•Evaluate acquisition opportunities with a focus on strategic acquisitions
similar to those we have completed over the past few years.

•Execute a four-for-one stock split, which will be effected through a stock
dividend in the fourth quarter of 2020, to make our common stock more accessible
and improve trading liquidity.

Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance



We have announced multiple initiatives to further reduce our global
environmental footprint. In 2020, we began sourcing 100% renewable electricity
for our U.S. and European Tempur-Pedic and Sealy manufacturing operations.
Additionally, we remain committed to our investment in solar power technology
and expect to complete the installation of the solar panel technology at our
Albuquerque, New Mexico manufacturing facility in the first half of 2021.
Finally, we announced a commitment to achieving zero landfill waste for our U.S.
and European manufacturing operations by the end of 2022.

Keeping our employees safe and healthy is a top priority during this time of
uncertainty caused by COVID-19. 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 of 2020, we began offering our Clean Shop PromiseTM 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. Additionally, we worked with various government and healthcare
organizations to provide products and services.

Business Update



We believe the U.S. bedding industry has evolved to be healthy and is now
structured for sustained 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 internet sales. Additionally, the U.S.
Department of Commerce recently announced its preliminary determination of
tariffs on certain imports which are expected to benefit U.S. manufacturers,
including us.

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
significantly improved beginning in late May, and this improvement continued
throughout the second and third quarters of 2020. This improvement was primarily
due to the reopening of brick-and-mortar stores on a reduced or appointment only
basis 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 continue to favorably impact our business.

This unexpected and rapid increase in demand for bedding products has challenged
the entire bedding industry and supply chain, including our business.
Additionally, the U.S. government has mandated that domestic suppliers of
certain materials used in the production of bedding products redirect such
materials towards the production of personal protective equipment. The
broad-based increase in demand coupled with supply chain constraints, primarily
related to an encased innerspring component, has created operational challenges
in the production of Sealy and Sherwood bedding products in the U.S. As a
result, Sealy's third quarter sales growth was unfavorably impacted by these
supply chain constraints, as we could not fulfill the domestic demand for Sealy
mattresses. We expect these supply chain constraints to continue for the next
few quarters. The Tempur-Pedic manufacturing process has not been as impacted by
the current supply chain constraints.

Our business has a highly variable cost structure that can flex with changes in
sales, as evidenced by our ability to quickly reduce costs in the second quarter
of 2020 to maintain profitability when we were uncertain of the impact of
COVID-19. In the third quarter of 2020, most of these cost reductions were
reversed. This increase in spending reflects our forward-looking confidence in
the business as we make the necessary investments to support long-term growth.

Certain international markets are now experiencing new restrictions related to
COVID-19 that are expected to cause some headwinds for the remainder of 2020.
Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2019, we shipped a large amount of floor
models and back stock inventory as we expanded into new distribution networks,
which we expect will impact comparisons with the fourth quarter of 2020. We are
targeting net sales to increase by low double digits and adjusted EBITDA per
credit facility, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to grow by high teens in
the fourth quarter of 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019.

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 the 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.

Commodities



Future changes in raw material prices could have an unfavorable impact on our
gross margin. In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, commodity costs
favorably impacted our gross margin. However commodity costs were higher than
expected for the third quarter of 2020. We currently expect commodity cost
inflation to continue into 2021. As a result, we plan to implement a price
increase in the fourth quarter of 2020 across all of our U.S. brands, including
Sealy, Stearns & Foster, and Tempur-Pedic products, which we expect to mitigate
or fully offset the commodity cost inflation we anticipate in 2021.

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. Since the acquisition, we have
leveraged our overall brand portfolio to gain additional distribution for
Sherwood products.

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 increased 37.9%, and on a constant currency basis increased 37.7%. The change in net sales was driven by the following:



•North America net sales increased $294.5 million, or 43.2%. Net sales in the
Wholesale channel increased $266.9 million, or 44.3%, primarily driven by
broad-based demand across both existing and new distribution networks. Net sales
in the Direct channel increased $27.6 million, or 34.6%, primarily driven by
growth from our e-commerce business, offset by slightly decreased performance at
our company owned stores which were closed or operating under reduced hours or
modified operations for a time during the third quarter as a result of the
global pandemic.

•International net sales increased $16.8 million, or 12.1%. On a constant currency basis, International net sales increased 10.1%. Net sales in the Wholesale channel increased 8.2% on a constant currency basis. Net sales in the Direct channel increased 16.7% on a constant currency basis.

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 improved 290 basis points. The primary drivers of changes in gross margin by segment are discussed below:



•North America gross margin improved 280 basis points. The improvement in gross
margin was primarily driven by fixed cost leverage and productivity on higher
unit volumes of 200 basis points, brand mix of 90 basis points and
lower commodity costs. Additionally, we incurred $0.6 million of operational
expansion costs related to the opening of a Sealy manufacturing facility, which
partially offset the improvement in gross margin.

•International gross margin improved 570 basis points. The improvement in gross
margin was primarily driven by favorable mix of 220 basis points, fixed cost
leverage and productivity on higher unit volumes of 170 basis points and lower
commodity costs.

                               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 $110.9 million, or 45.5%, and increased 160 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 $40.1 million, or 24.0%, and decreased 330 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by advertising and variable compensation costs.

•International operating expenses increased $1.2 million, or 2.4%, and decreased 320 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The increase in operating expenses was due to variable compensation costs and increased advertising investments.



•Corporate operating expenses increased $69.6 million, or 262.6%. The increase
in operating expenses was primarily driven by $45.2 million of amortization for
our long-term aspirational plan stock-based compensation. The amount recognized
represents the cumulative catch-up adjustment for the long-term aspirational
awards which became probable of vesting during the third quarter of 2020. The
awards are subject to a remaining service vesting condition which will lapse in
December 2020. Additionally, we expect to reach the maximum payout for our 2020
annual incentive and performance-based stock compensation plans, which increased
operating expense in the third quarter of 2020. We will record additional
amortization related to these compensation plans and the aspirational plan in
the fourth quarter of 2020. For information regarding our aspirational plan
refer to Note 9, "Stock-Based Compensation," of the "Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements," under Part I, ITEM 1, "Financial Statements"
of this Report.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were $6.1 million compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a increase of $0.5 million, or 8.9%.

Operating income increased $59.6 million and operating margin improved 120 basis
points. The primary drivers of changes in operating income and operating margin
by segment are discussed below:

•North America operating income increased $111.7 million and operating margin
improved 610 basis points. The improvement in operating margin was primarily
driven by improved operating expense leverage of 330 basis points and the
improvement in gross margin of 280 basis points.

•International operating income increased $17.5 million and operating margin
improved 920 basis points. The improvement in operating margin was primarily
driven by the improvement in gross margin of 570 basis points and improved
operating expense leverage of 320 basis points.

•Corporate operating expenses increased $69.6 million, which negatively impacted
our consolidated operating margin by 610 basis points. The increase in operating
expenses was primarily driven by $45.2 million of amortization for our long-term

Interest expense, net, decreased $0.7 million, or 3.4%. The decrease in interest
expense, net, was primarily driven by reduced average levels of outstanding debt
and lower interest rates on our variable rate debt.

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 increased $14.2 million due to an increase in income
before income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended
September 30, 2020 as compared to the same prior year period decreased by 130
basis points. The effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory
tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 included a net
favorable impact of discrete items.

  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 improved 120 basis points. The primary drivers of changes in gross margin by segment are discussed below:



•North America gross margin improved 160 basis points. The improvement in gross
margin was primarily driven by fixed cost leverage and productivity on higher
unit volume of 190 basis points, decreased floor model expenses of 70 basis
points and lower commodity costs of 70 basis points. These improvements were
partially offset by unfavorable product and brand mix of 170 basis points.
Additionally, we incurred $4.0 million of incremental costs related to global
pandemic relief efforts, sanitation supplies and services and other items and
$0.6 million of operational expansion costs related to the opening of a Sealy
manufacturing facility, which partially offset the improvement in gross margin.

•International gross margin improved 250 basis points. The improvement in gross
margin was primarily driven by favorable mix of 110 basis points, fixed cost
leverage and productivity on higher unit volumes of 60 basis points and lower
commodity costs. 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 $119.8 million, or 17.0%, and decreased 10 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 $62.7 million, or 13.4%, and
decreased 190 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The increase in
operating expenses was primarily driven by advertising and incremental bad debt
expense primarily related to the bankruptcy of one department store in the U.S.
Additionally, we recorded $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 and
$7.0 million of asset impairment charges related to the write-off of certain
sales and marketing assets driven by the macro-economic environment.

•International operating expenses decreased $5.3 million, or 3.4%, and increased
100 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in operating
expenses was primarily driven by lower advertising and other selling and
marketing investments, partially offset by increased bad debt expense.
Additionally, we incurred $3.8 million of restructuring costs associated with
headcount reductions driven by the macro-economic environment and $2.6 million
of incremental costs related to global pandemic relief efforts, sanitation
supplies and services and other items.

•Corporate operating expenses increased $62.4 million, or 76.1%. The increase in
operating expenses was primarily driven by $45.2 million of amortization for our
long-term aspirational plan stock-based compensation. The amount recognized
represents the cumulative catch-up adjustment for the long-term aspirational
awards which became probable of vesting during the third quarter of 2020. The
awards are subject to a remaining service vesting condition which will lapse in
December 2020. Additionally, we expect to reach the maximum payout for our 2020
annual incentive and performance-based stock compensation plans, which increased
operating expense in the third quarter of 2020. We will record additional
amortization related to these compensation plans and the aspirational plan in
the fourth quarter of 2020. This increase was partially offset by $4.1 million
of professional fees recorded in the first half of 2019 related to the
acquisition of Sleep Outfitters, which were not repeated in 2020. For
information regarding our aspirational plan refer to Note 9, "Stock-Based
Compensation," of the "Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,"
under Part I, ITEM 1, "Financial Statements" of this Report.

  Research and development expenses were $17.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020 as compared to $16.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2019.

  Operating income increased $76.8 million and operating margin improved 120
basis points. The primary drivers of changes in operating income and operating
margin by segment are discussed below:

•North America operating income increased $138.1 million and operating margin
improved 350 basis points. The improvement in operating margin was primarily
driven by improved operating expense leverage of 310 basis points and the
improvement in gross margin of 160 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 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 increased $1.1 million and operating margin
improved 150 basis points. The improvement in operating margin was primarily
driven by the improvement in gross margin of 250 basis points and improved
operating expense leverage. These improvements were offset by $3.8 million of
restructuring costs associated with headcount reductions driven by the
macro-economic environment and $3.1 million of incremental costs related to
global pandemic relief efforts, sanitation supplies and services and other
items.

•Corporate operating expenses increased $62.4 million, which negatively impacted
our consolidated operating margin by 240 basis points. The increase in operating
expenses was primarily driven by $45.2 million of amortization for our long-term
aspirational plan stock-based compensation. The amount recognized represents the
cumulative catch-up adjustment for the long-term aspirational awards which
became probable of vesting during the third quarter of 2020. The awards are
subject to a remaining service vesting condition which will lapse in December
2020. Additionally, we expect to reach the maximum payout for our 2020 annual
incentive and performance-based stock compensation plans, which increased
operating expense in the third quarter of 2020. We will record additional
amortization related to these compensation plans and the aspirational plan in
the fourth quarter of 2020. This increase was partially offset by $4.1 million
of professional fees recorded in the first half of 2019 related to the
acquisition of Sleep Outfitters, which were not repeated in 2020. For

Interest expense, net, decreased $4.7 million, or 7.2%. The decrease in interest
expense, net, was primarily driven by reduced average levels of outstanding debt
and lower interest rates on our variable rate debt.

  Our income tax provision increased $14.4 million due to an increase in income
before income taxes. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September
30, 2020 as compared to the same prior year period decreased 250 basis points.
The effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate for the
nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2020, we had net working capital of $121.4 million,
including cash and cash equivalents of $229.2 million, as compared to $126.9
million, including cash and cash equivalents of $64.9 million, as of
December 31, 2019.

At September 30, 2020, total cash and cash equivalents were $229.2 million, of
which $186.3 million was held in the U.S. and $42.9 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 increased
$296.2 million in the nine months ended September 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 $47.4
million in the nine months ended September 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 used in financing activities from continuing operations increased $103.7
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same
period in 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had net
repayments of $21.0 million on our credit facilities, as compared to net
repayments of $76.0 million in 2019. During the nine months ended September 30,
2020 and 2019, respectively, we repurchased $187.5 million and $52.3 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 $12.1 million and $3.2 million of our
common stock which was withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations related
to stock compensation during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019,
respectively.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Discontinued Operations



Net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities
from discontinued operations for the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019
was not material.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures totaled $73.6 million and $61.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We currently expect our 2020
capital expenditures to be approximately $110 to $115 million, which includes
investments in our U.S. enterprise resource planning projects and domestic
manufacturing facilities.

Indebtedness

Our total debt decreased to $1,535.3 million as of September 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.
As a result, we entered into a new $200.0 million 364-day term loan (the
"364-Day Loan") in the second quarter of 2020. As industry trends improved in
the third quarter of 2020, we generated record operating cash flow which allowed
us to repay the 364-Day Loan referred to below. Total availability under our
revolving senior secured credit facility was $424.9 million as of September 30,
2020, which matures in 2024.

As of September 30, 2020, our ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted
cash to adjusted EBITDA per credit facility, which is a non-GAAP financial
measure, in accordance with our 2019 Credit Agreement was 1.92 times. Our
leverage ratio as of September 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 September 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.

Our debt agreements contain certain covenants that limit restricted payments,
including share repurchases and dividends. 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 per credit
facility, 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 per credit facility 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.

On May 13, 2020, we entered into an amendment to the existing 2019 Credit Agreement, which provided for the $200.0 million 364-Day Loan. We used the proceeds of the 364-Day Loan to repay borrowings under the existing $425.0 million revolving credit facility and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the amendment. On September 14, 2020, we repaid the 364-Day Loan. Repayment of the 364-Day Loan lifted certain restrictions on dividends, share repurchases and our ability to make certain investments.



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, 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.

  Table of Contents
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.

The summarized financial information for the Obligor Group follows.

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 nine months ended
September 30, 2020, we repurchased 2.6 million shares for approximately $187.5
million. As of September 30, 2020, we had approximately $131.3 million remaining
under our existing share repurchase authorization. In October 2020, the Board of
Directors authorized an additional increase, of $168.7 million, to the existing
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. 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.

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 was
outstanding. These limitations were lifted upon repayment of the 364-Day Loan in
the third quarter of 2020. In the near term, subject to market conditions, we
expect to repurchase at least 3% of shares outstanding per year. 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 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 September 30, 2020, we had $737.7 million of liquidity, including $229.2
million of cash on hand and $424.9 million available under our revolving senior
secured credit facility. We also had availability of $83.6 million under our
securitization facility. In addition, we expect to generate additional cash flow
from operations in the fourth quarter 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.
                                       39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Table of Contents

Operating cash flow and liquidity exceeded our expectations in 2020. As a result, we have developed a new capital allocation plan to drive shareholder value over time. Our plan is focused on the following:



•Invest approximately $70 million annually for capital expenditures to invest in
our people, products and processes.
•Initiate a quarterly cash dividend beginning in early 2021, subject to approval
by the Board of Directors, targeting an annual distribution to our stockholders
of approximately 15% of net income.
•Resume our share repurchase program and target to repurchase at least 3% of
shares outstanding per year in the near-term, depending on market conditions.
•Evaluate acquisition opportunities with a focus on strategic acquisitions
similar to those we have completed over the past few years.
•Execute a four-for-one stock split, which will be effected through a stock
dividend in the fourth quarter of 2020, to make our common stock more accessible
and improve trading liquidity.

As of September 30, 2020, we had $1,535.3 million in total debt outstanding and
consolidated indebtedness less netted cash, which is a non-GAAP financial
measure, of $1,335.3 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 1.92 times for the trailing twelve months ended
September 30, 2020, the lowest in our history. 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. Total cash interest payments related to our
borrowings are expected to be approximately $75 to $80 million in 2020.

On October 8, 2020, we announced our election to conditionally redeem $200.0
million of our $450.0 million of our issued and outstanding 2023 Senior Notes on
November 9, 2020 (the "Redemption Date"). The 2023 Senior Notes selected for
redemption will be redeemed at 101.406% of their principal amount, plus the
accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption is conditioned on the determination
by our Chief Financial Officer, in his sole discretion, as of the second
business day before the Redemption Date, that the redemption continues to be
reasonably prudent and consistent with our objectives concerning liquidity,
financing needs and funding costs.

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 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.

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) Certain subsidiaries in the International business segment are accounted for as

discontinued operations and have been designated as unrestricted subsidiaries in the

2019 Credit Agreement. Therefore, these subsidiaries are excluded from our adjusted

financial measures for covenant compliance purposes.

(2) In the third quarter of 2020, we recognized $45.2 million of performance-based stock

compensation amortization related to our long-term aspirational awards. The amount

recognized represents the cumulative catch-up adjustment for the long-term aspirational

awards that became probable of vesting during the third quarter of 2020. The awards are

subject to a remaining service vesting condition which will lapse in December 2020.

(3) In the third quarter of 2020, loss on extinguishment of debt represents costs

associated with the early repayment of the 364-Day Loan.

(4) In the third quarter of 2020, we recorded $0.8 million of charges related to the

adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)". As

permitted by the 2019 Credit Agreement, we elected to eliminate the effect of this

accounting change within our covenant compliance calculation.

(5) In the third quarter of 2020, we recorded $0.6 million of costs related to the opening

of a Sealy manufacturing facility.

(6) We incurred $0.4 million of restructuring costs associated with International headcount

reductions driven by the macro-economic environment, in the third quarter of 2020.

(7) Adjusted income tax provision represents the tax effects associated with the

aforementioned items and other discrete income tax events.
