    This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, (this "Report"), including the information incorporated by reference herein, contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which includes information concerning one or more of our plans; objectives; goals; strategies and other information that is not historical information. Many of these statements appear, in particular, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I, ITEM 2 of this Report. When used in this Report, the words "assumes," "estimates," "expects," “guidance,” “anticipates,” "might," “projects,” "predicts," “plans,” “proposed,” “targets,” “intends,” “believes,” “will,” "may," "could," "is likely to" and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to the Company's intent and expectations regarding the conditional partial redemption of the 2023 Senior Notes, the Company's quarterly cash dividend, the Company's share repurchase targets, expected timing of the stock split, the Company's beliefs regarding the impact of its capital allocation strategy and ESG initiatives, and the Company's expectations regarding supply chain constraints, commodities, net sales and adjusted EBITDA per credit facility in the fourth quarter, performance generally for 2020 and subsequent periods, the probable vesting of the Company’s long-term aspirational plan and performance-based stock compensation plan and, the impacts of COVID-19. There can be no assurance that we will realize our expectations or that our beliefs will prove correct.

    Numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control, could cause actual results to differ materially from any that may be expressed as forward-looking statements in this Report. These risk factors include the impact of the macroeconomic environment in both the U.S. and internationally on our business segments and expectations regarding growth of the mattress industry; uncertainties arising from global events, natural disasters or pandemics; risks associated with the duration, scope and severity of COVID-19 and its effects on our business and operations, including the disruption or delay of production and delivery of materials and products in our supply chain; the impact of travel bans, work-from-home policies, or shelter-in-place orders; a temporary or prolonged shutdown of manufacturing facilities or retail stores and decreased retail traffic; the effects of strategic investments on our operations, including our efforts to expand our global market share; the ability to develop and successfully launch new products; the efficiency and effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and other marketing programs; the ability to increase sales productivity within existing retail accounts and to further penetrate the retail channel, including the timing of opening or expanding within large retail accounts and the timing and success of product launches, and the related expenses and life cycles of such products; the ability to continuously improve and expand our product line; the effects of consolidation of retailers on revenues and costs; competition in our industry; consumer acceptance of our products; general economic, financial and industry conditions, particularly conditions relating to liquidity, financial performance and related credit issues present in the retail sector; financial distress among our business partners, customers and competitors, and financial solvency and related problems experienced by other market participants, any of which may be amplified by the effects of COVID-19; risks associated with our acquisition of 80% ownership of Sherwood Acquisition Holdings, LLC, including the possibility that the expected benefits of the acquisition are not realized when expected or at all; our reliance on information technology and the associated risks involving potential security lapses and/or cyber-based attacks; the outcome of pending tax audits or other tax, regulatory or investigation proceedings and pending litigation; changes in foreign tax rates and changes in tax laws generally, including the ability to utilize tax loss carryforwards; market disruptions related to COVID-19 which may frustrate our ability to access financing on acceptable terms or at all; our capital structure and debt level, including our ability to meet financial obligations and continue to comply with the terms and financial ratio covenants of our credit facilities; changes in interest rates; effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on our reported earnings; changing commodity costs; expectations regarding our target leverage and our share repurchase program; sales fluctuations due to seasonality; the effect of future legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in international trade duties, tariffs and other aspects of international trade policy; our ability to protect our intellectual property; and disruptions to the implementation of our strategic priorities and business plan caused by changes in our executive management team.

    Other potential risk factors include the risk factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in Part I, ITEM 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the "2019 Annual Report"), and in Part II, ITEM 1A, Risk Factors, of this Report. In addition, there may be other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

    All forward-looking statements attributable to us apply only as of the date of this Report and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Report. Except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (unaudited)

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
(a) Basis of Presentation and Description of Business. Tempur Sealy International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is a U.S. based, multinational company. The term "Tempur Sealy International" refers to Tempur Sealy International, Inc. only, and the term "Company" refers to Tempur Sealy International, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company develops, manufactures, markets and sells bedding products, which include mattresses, foundations and adjustable bases, and other products, which include pillows and other accessories. The Company also derives income from royalties by licensing Sealy® and Stearns & Foster® brands, technology and trademarks to other manufacturers. The Company sells its products through two sales channels: Wholesale and Direct.

The Company has ownership interests in a group of Asia-Pacific joint ventures to develop markets for Sealy® branded products in those regions. The Company’s ownership interest in these joint ventures is 50.0%. The equity method of accounting is used for these joint ventures, over which the Company has significant influence but does not have control, and consolidation is not otherwise required. The Company's carrying value in its equity method investments of $16.0 million and $22.5 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, is recorded in other non-current assets within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s equity in the net income and losses of these investments is reported in equity income in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Additionally, in October 2020, the Company entered into a 50.0% ownership joint venture to reacquire the rights and acquire the assets to manufacture, market and distribute Sealy® and Stearns & Foster® branded products in the United Kingdom.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the 2019 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2020.
 
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. It is the opinion of management that all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein.

(b) Adoption of New Accounting Standards.

Goodwill. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)." The ASU simplifies the test for goodwill impairment, by eliminating Step 2 of the impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, the goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. Adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

Credit Losses. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)," which requires entities to estimate expected lifetime credit losses on financial assets and provide expanded disclosures. The ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with one that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company adopted the new credit losses standard using the modified retrospective approach. The cumulative effect of adoption at January 1, 2020 was $6.5 million, net of tax. The Company's primary financial assets are its trade accounts receivable, which are short-term financings with industry standard credit and trade terms.

TEMPUR SEALY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (unaudited) (continued)

On May 13, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an amendment to the existing 2019 Credit Agreement. The amendment provided for a new 364-day $200.0 million term loan (the "364-Day Loan"). The Company 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, the Company repaid the 364-Day Loan. Repayment of the 364-Day Loan lifted certain restrictions on dividends, share repurchases and the Company's ability to make certain investments.

Securitized Debt

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are party to a securitization transaction with respect to certain accounts receivable due to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (as amended, the "Accounts Receivable Securitization"). As of September 30, 2020, the Company had availability of $83.6 million under the Accounts Receivable Securitization.

2023 Senior Notes

On October 8, 2020, the Company announced its election to conditionally redeem $200.0 million of the $450.0 million of its 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 the Company's 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 the Company's objectives concerning liquidity, financing needs and funding costs. The Company intends to primarily use current cash and cash equivalents to fund the redemption.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments, although not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and the Company's debt obligations. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. Borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement and the securitized debt are at variable interest rates and accordingly their carrying amounts approximate fair value. The fair value of the following material financial instruments were based on observable inputs estimated using discounted cash flows and market-based expectations for interest rates, credit risk and the contractual terms of debt instruments. The fair values of these material financial instruments are as follows:

The Company did not repurchase shares under the program during the three months ended September 30, 2020. The Company repurchased 0.7 million shares under the program for approximately $50.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The Company repurchased 2.6 million shares and 0.7 million shares for approximately $187.5 million and $52.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In October 2020, the Board of Directors authorized an increase, of $168.7 million, to the existing share repurchase authorization of Tempur Sealy International's common stock to $300.0 million.

In addition, the Company acquired shares upon the vesting of certain restricted stock units ("RSUs"), which were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The shares withheld were valued at the closing price of the stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the vesting date or first business day prior to vesting, resulting in approximately $0.1 million and $0.0 million in treasury stock acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company acquired approximately $12.1 million and $3.2 million in treasury stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(b) Shareholder Rights Agreement. On March 27, 2020, the Board of Directors authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of common stock of the Company to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 7, 2020 (the “Record Date”). Each Right entitled the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Preferred Shares”), of the Company at an exercise price of $273.00 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment (the “Exercise Price”). In accordance with their terms, the Rights were set to expire at the close of business on March 26, 2021 or such other date as may be established by the Board of Directors as permitted under the Rights Agreement. On September 11, 2020, the Board of Directors accelerated the expiration of the Rights to the close of business on September 14, 2020, at which time the Rights expired and the Rights Agreement was terminated.

The Company’s stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 included performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs"), non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and deferred stock units ("DSUs"). A summary of the Company’s stock-based compensation expense is presented in the following table:

RSU/DSU expense5.5 5.2 16.7 15.3 
Total stock-based compensation expense$71.8 $6.8 $86.6 $20.0 

The Company grants PRSUs to executive officers and certain members of management. Actual payout under the PRSUs is dependent upon the achievement of certain financial goals. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company granted PRSUs as a component of the long-term incentive plan ("2020 PRSUs"). The Company has recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the 2020 PRSUs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, as it was probable that the Company would achieve the specified performance target for the performance period.

During 2017, the Company granted executive officers and certain members of management PRSUs if the Company achieves a certain level of adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization as defined in the Company’s Credit Agreement ("adjusted EBITDA per credit facility") during four consecutive fiscal quarters as described below (the "2019 Aspirational Plan PRSUs"). The 2019 Aspirational Plan PRSUs will vest based on the highest adjusted EBITDA per credit facility in any four consecutive fiscal quarter period ending between (and including) March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 (the “First Designated Period”). At the end of the First Designated Period, the adjusted EBITDA per credit facility targets were not met and one-half of the total 2019 Aspirational Plan PRSUs were forfeited.

The remaining one-half of the total 2019 Aspirational Plan PRSUs will vest based on the highest adjusted EBITDA per credit facility in any four consecutive fiscal quarter period ending between (and including) March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2020 (the "Second Designated Period"). If the highest adjusted EBITDA per credit facility in the Second Designated Period is $600.0 million then 66% of the remaining 2019 Aspirational Plan PRSUs will vest; if the adjusted EBITDA per credit facility is $650.0 million or more 100% will vest; if adjusted EBITDA per credit facility is between $600.0 million and $650.0 million then a pro rata portion will vest; and if adjusted EBITDA per credit facility is below $600.0 million then all of the remaining 2019 Aspirational Plan PRSUs will be forfeited.

The Company recorded $45.2 million of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2019 Aspirational Plan PRSUs during the three months ended September 30, 2020, as it became probable the Company would achieve the highest specified performance target. Based on the price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to this award is approximately $4.2 million, which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2020, commensurate with the remaining requisite service period.

(10) Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company is involved in various legal and administrative proceedings incidental to the operations of its business. The Company believes that the outcome of all such pending proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity or operating results.
(11) Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 25.2% and 26.5%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 26.5% and 29.0%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% principally due to subpart F income (i.e., GILTI earned by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries), certain foreign income tax rate differentials, state and local taxes, changes in the Company’s uncertain tax positions, the excess tax deficiency (or benefit) related to stock-based compensation and certain other permanent items.

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. Government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) which includes modifications to the limitation on business interest expense and net operating loss provisions. The CARES Act is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company has been involved in a dispute with the Danish Tax Authority ("SKAT") regarding the royalty paid by a U.S. subsidiary of Tempur Sealy International to a Danish subsidiary (the "Danish Tax Matter") for tax years 2001 through current. The royalty is paid by the U.S. subsidiary for the right to utilize certain intangible assets owned by the Danish subsidiary in the U.S. production process.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Danish income tax liability recorded in the Company’s balance sheet for the periods 2001 through September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, is DKK 1,126.3 million and DKK 1,110.6 million, respectively (approximately $177.4 million and $166.7 million using the applicable exchange rates at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively). The liability at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is included within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (translated at the exchange rate on September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019) as per below:

Other non-current liabilities279.0 43.9 263.3 39.5
Total 1,126.3 $177.4 1,110.6 $166.7 

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company made a tax deposit with SKAT of DKK 76.8 million applicable to a tax assessment by SKAT for the year 2014. Also, during the three months ended March 31, 2020 the Company made a tax deposit with SKAT of DKK 134.0 million applicable to a tax assessment by SKAT for the years 2012 and 2013. The Company is contesting both assessments. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, the Company held on deposit with SKAT DKK 1,180.9 million and DKK 970.1 million (approximately $186.0 million and $145.6 million using the applicable exchange rates at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively). The deposit is for the satisfaction of the anticipated liability for both tax and interest once these matters are concluded.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the 2019 Annual Report, including "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in ITEM 7 of Part II of the 2019 Annual Report, and the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in this Report. Unless otherwise noted, all of the financial information in this Report is consolidated financial information for the Company. The forward-looking statements in this discussion regarding the mattress and pillow industries, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements in this discussion are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" elsewhere in this Report, in the 2019 Annual Report and the section titled "Risk Factors" contained in ITEM 1A of Part I of the 2019 Annual Report and in ITEM 1A, Risk Factors, in this Report. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

In this discussion and analysis, we discuss and explain the consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, including the following topics:

an overview of our business and strategy, including uncertainty relating to COVID-19;
results of operations, including our net sales and costs in the periods 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.
26

Table of Contents
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.

Table of Contents

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.

Results of Operations
 
A summary of our results for the three months ended September 30, 2020 include:

Total net sales increased 37.9% to $1,132.3 million as compared to $821.0 million in the third quarter of 2019.

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.

Consolidated gross margin$530.2 46.8 %$360.6 43.9 %2.9 %

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 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%.

    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.

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.

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:

Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operations:
Operating activities$497.9 $201.7 
Investing activities(111.4)(64.0)
Financing activities(228.5)(124.8)

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.

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.

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)". In the first half of 2020, we recorded $2.8 million of charges related to the adoption. As permitted by the 2019 Credit Agreement, we elected to eliminate the effect of this accounting change within our covenant compliance calculation.
(11)We completed the acquisition of Sherwood Bedding on January 31, 2020 and designated this subsidiary as restricted under the 2019 Credit Agreement. For covenant compliance purposes, we included $1.7 million of EBITDA from this subsidiary for the four months prior to acquisition in our calculation of adjusted EBITDA per credit facility for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2020.
(12)In the third quarter of 2020, we recorded $0.6 million of costs related to the opening of a Sealy manufacturing facility.

Under the 2019 Credit Agreement, the definition of adjusted EBITDA (which we refer to as "adjusted EBITDA per credit facility") contains certain restrictions that limit adjustments to net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA. For the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2020, our adjustments to net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA did not exceed the allowable amount under the 2019 Credit Agreement.

The ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA per credit facility is 1.92 times for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2020. The 2019 Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA of less than 5.00:1.00 times.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of our reported total debt to the calculation of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash as of September 30, 2020. "Consolidated Indebtedness" and "Netted Cash" are terms used in the 2019 Credit Agreement for purposes of certain financial covenants.

Consolidated indebtedness less netted cash$1,335.3 

(1)We present deferred financing costs as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For purposes of determining total debt for financial covenant purposes, we have added these costs back to total debt, net as calculated per the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(2)Netted cash includes cash and cash equivalents for domestic and foreign subsidiaries designated as restricted subsidiaries in the 2019 Credit Agreement. For purposes of determining netted cash for financial covenant purposes under the 2019 Credit Agreement, the aggregate amount of netted cash is not permitted to exceed $200.0 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to ITEM 7 under Part II, "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in the 2019 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates in 2020.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Foreign Currency Exposures

As a result of our global operations, our earnings are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Many of our foreign businesses operate in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to the Euro or other foreign currencies where we have operations, there will be a negative impact on our operating results upon translation of those foreign operating results into the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency exchange rate changes positively impacted our adjusted EBITDA per credit facility, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, by 0.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and negatively impacted our adjusted EBITDA per credit facility, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, by 0.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

We hedge a portion of our currency exchange exposure relating to foreign currency transactions with foreign exchange forward contracts. A sensitivity analysis indicates the potential loss in fair value on foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding at September 30, 2020, resulting from a hypothetical 10.0% adverse change in all foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, is approximately $1.6 million. Such losses would be largely offset by gains from the revaluation or settlement of the underlying assets and liabilities that are being protected by the foreign exchange forward contracts.

Interest Rate Risk
 
As of September 30, 2020, we had variable-rate debt of approximately $412.2 million. Holding other variables constant, including levels of indebtedness, a one hundred basis point increase in interest rates on our variable-rate debt would cause an estimated reduction in income before income taxes of approximately $4.1 million. We continue to evaluate the interest rate environment and look for opportunities to improve our debt structure and minimize interest rate risk and expense.

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
 An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2020, and designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that was conducted during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS
 
The outbreak of COVID-19 has had, and may continue to have, a negative impact on the global economy and on our business, operations, or financial results.

The novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019 has now spread to nearly all regions around the world. The outbreak, and measures taken to contain or mitigate it, have had dramatic adverse consequences for the economy, including on demand, operations, supply chains, and financial markets. The nature and scope of the consequences to date are difficult to evaluate precisely, and their future course is impossible to predict with confidence.

The COVID-19 crisis has already had several significant effects on our business and our financial condition, including the impact of the pandemic on the economies and financial markets of the regions in which we operate. "Shelter in place” and other similar mandated or suggested isolation protocols have disrupted third-party retail stores in our Wholesale channel and company-owned stores in our Direct channel, via store closures or reduced operating hours in the U.S. and around the world, which has decreased retail traffic and which also, in turn, decreased sales of our products in March and April when COVID-19 began materially impacting our North America business segment.

At this time, most third-party retail stores and our company-owned stores have reopened. However, we cannot reasonably estimate the length of time these stores will remain open, or if they will be mandated to close again as the COVID-19 crisis continues to evolve. The inability to sell our products through the Wholesale channel and within company-owned stores within the Direct channel has had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations. Our e-commerce operations remain open globally, as do the e-commerce operations for many of our third-party retailers. The COVID-19 pandemic is also shifting demand patterns to favor our lower-margin products, which is producing a reduction in our gross margins.

The effects of the COVID-19 crisis could be aggravated if the crisis continues, and we could also see additional impacts that might include the following:

a potential global recession, a decline in consumer confidence and spending, or a further increase in unemployment or reduction in government stimulus payments could continue to result in consumers having less disposable income and, in turn, decreased sales of our products;
the continued disruption to third-party retail stores and company-owned stores resulting from "shelter in place" and similar protocols, which, even though largely rolled back, could be reinstated as the pandemic continues to evolve;
social distancing measures or changes in consumer spending behaviors due to COVID-19 may continue to impact retail demand after the resumption of more normalized operations and such actions could result in a loss of sales and profit;
difficulty accessing debt and equity on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deterioration in credit and financing conditions may affect our ability to access capital necessary to operate our business;
the failure of our Wholesale channel customers to whom we extend credit to pay amounts owed to us on time, or at all, particularly if such customers are significantly impacted by COVID-19;
the risk that the persistence or reoccurrence of COVID-19 could cause customers to avoid public places where our stores and those of our Wholesale partners are located;
we have experienced and may continue to experience disruptions in our supply chain, as the outbreak has disrupted travel, affected consumer demand and spending habits and impacted manufacturing and distribution throughout the world; and
we may be required to revise certain accounting estimates and judgments such as, but not limited to, those related to the valuation of long-lived assets and deferred tax assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

The rapid development and fluidity of the pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact of COVID-19. The full extent of the impact and effects of COVID-19 on our business, operations, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations remain uncertain at this time but could be material.

The future impact of the COVID-19 crisis on our business, operations, or financial results is highly uncertain and will depend on numerous evolving factors that we cannot predict precisely, including, but not limited to:

the duration, scope, and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic;
the disruption or delay of production and delivery of materials and products in our supply chain;

the impact of travel bans, work-from-home policies, or shelter-in-place orders;
the temporary or prolonged shutdown of manufacturing facilities or retail stores and decreased retail traffic;
staffing shortages;
general economic, financial, and industry conditions, particularly conditions relating to liquidity, financial performance, and related credit issues in the retail sector, which may be amplified by the effects of COVID-19;
the long-term effects of COVID-19 on the national and global economy, including on consumer confidence and spending, financial markets and the availability of credit for us, our suppliers and our customers; and
our success in attempting to reduce operating costs and conserve cash, which could require further actions to improve our cash position, including but not limited to, implementing expanded employee furloughs and foregoing capital expenditures and other discretionary expenses.

Although we recently announced our intention to initiate a quarterly cash dividend beginning in 2021, there can be no assurance as to the declaration or amount of future dividends.

We recently announced our intention to begin paying a quarterly cash dividend beginning in 2021. Any decision to declare and pay dividends, and the amount of any such dividends, will be dependent on a variety of factors, including compliance with Section 170 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; changes to our capital allocation policies; our results of operation, liquidity and cash flows; contractual restrictions in our debt agreements; economic conditions, including the impact of COVID-19 on our business and financial condition; and other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant. There can be no assurance that we will declare dividends in any particular amounts or at all, and changes in our dividend policy could adversely affect the market price for our stock.
