Sleep Number Announces Second Quarter 2023 Results

  • Second quarter net sales were $459 million; demand down mid-single digits versus the prior year
  • Reports second quarter diluted EPS of $0.03
  • 2023 EPS outlook updated to a range of $1.25 to $1.75 per share
  • Announces the appointment of Francis Lee to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Sleep Number Corporation (Nasdaq: SNBR) today reported results for the quarter ended July 1, 2023.

“As we continue to navigate a challenging macro environment, our business is well positioned for growth. Demand has steadily improved year-to-date, and we expect this trend to continue in the back-half of the year as we benefit from the launch of our entire next generation smart bed portfolio, the Climate360 smart bed, and the advancement of our ‘Sleep Next Level’ advertising campaign with the start of the NFL season,” said Shelly Ibach, Chair, President and CEO, Sleep Number. “We have taken actions across the business to drive efficiencies and remain on track to expand margins and generate more than $100 million in cash from operations in 2023.”

Today, Sleep Number also announced the appointment of Francis Lee to Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Details can be found on the Sleep Number newsroom.

Second Quarter Overview

  • Net sales decreased 16% to $459 million, with demand down mid-single digits; demand improved throughout the second quarter, although slightly below our expectations
  • Gross margin was 57.6% and in line with our expectations; as a reminder prior year second quarter results benefitted from the delivery of more than $100 million in margin-rich backlog
  • Operating expenses were reduced by $22 million to $253 million compared with $275 million last year
  • Earnings per diluted share of $0.03 compared with $1.54 for the same period last year

Year-to-Date Overview

  • Net sales decreased 8% to $985 million, with demand down high-single digits versus prior year
  • Gross profit decreased to $575 million compared with $627 million for the prior year; gross margin rate of 58.3% was consistent with the same period last year and up 290 bp versus the back half of last year
  • Operating income of $37 million compared with $54 million last year, with an 8% decline in gross margin dollars, partially offset by a $36 million reduction in operating expenses
  • Earnings per diluted share of $0.54 compared with $1.60 for the same period last year

Cash Flows Overview

  • Net cash from operating activities of $19 million for the first six months of the year, compared with $29 million for the same period last year
  • Leverage ratio of 4.7x EBITDAR at the end of the second quarter versus covenant maximum of 5.0x
  • Adjusted ROIC of 12.3% for the trailing twelve months

Financial Outlook

The company updated its full-year 2023 diluted EPS outlook to a range of $1.25 to $1.75. The 2023 outlook assumes net sales are down low to mid-single digits versus the prior year and gross margin improvement of more than 150 basis points versus 2022. The company expects to generate more than $100 million of operating cash flow for the year and positive free cash flows. The company anticipates 2023 capital expenditures of $50 million to $60 million.

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 (Adjusted ROIC)

(in thousands)

 

Adjusted ROIC is a financial measure we use to determine how efficiently we deploy our capital. It quantifies the return we earn on our adjusted invested capital. Management believes Adjusted ROIC is also a useful metric for investors and financial analysts. We compute Adjusted ROIC as outlined below. Our definition and calculation of Adjusted ROIC may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions and calculations used by other companies. The tables below reconcile adjusted net operating profit after taxes (Adjusted NOPAT) and total adjusted invested capital, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to the comparable GAAP financial measures:
