(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 $22.1 million and $22.5 million at March 31, 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.

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 units' fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material 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 under industry standard credit and trade terms.

(d) Accrued Sales Returns. The Company allows product returns through certain sales channels and on certain products. Estimated sales returns are provided at the time of sale based on historical sales channel return rates. Estimated future obligations related to these products are provided by a reduction of sales in the period in which the revenue is recognized. The Company considers the impact of recoverable salvage value on sales returns by segment in determining its estimate of future sales returns. Accrued sales returns are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company had the following activity for sales returns from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020:
(in millions)
Balance as of December 31, 2019$39.3

(e) Warranties. The Company provides warranties on certain products, which vary by segment, product and brand. Estimates of warranty expenses are based primarily on historical claims experience and product testing. Estimated future obligations related to these products are charged to cost of sales in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The Company considers the impact of recoverable salvage value on warranty costs in determining its estimate of future warranty obligations.

The Company provides warranties on mattresses with varying warranty terms. Tempur-Pedic mattresses sold in the North America segment and all Sealy mattresses have warranty terms ranging from 10 to 25 years, generally non-prorated for the first 10 to 15 years and then prorated for the balance of the warranty term. Tempur-Pedic mattresses sold in the International segment have warranty terms ranging from 5 to 15 years, non-prorated for the first 5 years and then prorated on a straight-line basis for the last 10 years of the warranty term. Tempur-Pedic pillows have a warranty term of 3 years, non-prorated.

The Company had the following activity for its accrued warranty expense from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020:

Balance as of December 31, 2019$41.6

Balance as of March 31, 2020$41.3

(f) Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of expected lifetime credit losses in the Company’s accounts receivable. The Company estimates losses over the contractual life using assumptions to capture the risk of loss, even if remote, based principally on how long a receivable has been outstanding. Other factors considered include historical write-off experience, current economic conditions and also factors such as customer credit, past transaction history with the customer and changes in customer payment terms.

The Company had the following activity for its allowance for credit losses from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020:

Acquisition of Sherwood Bedding
On January 31, 2020, the Company 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, which included $1.2 million of cash acquired.
The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of January 31, 2020, which included the following:

2019 Credit Agreement

On October 16, 2019, the Company entered into the 2019 Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks. The 2019 Credit Agreement provides for a $425.0 million revolving credit facility, a $425.0 million term loan facility, and an incremental facility in an aggregate amount of up to $550.0 million plus the amount of certain prepayments plus an additional unlimited amount subject to compliance with a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio test. The 2019 Credit Agreement has a $60.0 million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $300.4 million in outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Availability as of March 31, 2020 was further reduced by $22.7 million for outstanding letters of credit, resulting in remaining availability of $101.9 million.

Borrowings under the 2019 Credit Agreement will generally bear interest, at the election of Tempur Sealy International and the subsidiary borrowers, at either (i) Base Rate plus the applicable margin or (ii) LIBOR plus the applicable margin. For the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility (a) the initial applicable margin for Base Rate advances was 0.625% per annum and the initial applicable margin for LIBOR advances was 1.625% per annum, and (b) following the delivery of financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2019, such applicable margins will be determined by a pricing grid based on the consolidated total net leverage ratio of the Company.

Obligations under the 2019 Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and are secured by a security interest in substantially all of Tempur Sealy International’s and the other subsidiary borrowers’ domestic assets and the domestic assets of each subsidiary guarantor, whether owned as of the closing or thereafter acquired, including a pledge of 100.0% of the equity interests of each subsidiary owned by the Company or a subsidiary guarantor that is a domestic entity (subject to certain limited exceptions) and 65.0% of the voting equity interests of any direct first tier foreign entity owned by the Company or a subsidiary guarantor.

TEMPUR SEALY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (unaudited) (continued)
The 2019 Credit Agreement requires compliance with certain financial covenants providing for maintenance of a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio, maintenance of a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio and maintenance of a maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio. The consolidated total net leverage ratio is calculated using consolidated indebtedness less netted cash (as defined below). Consolidated indebtedness includes debt recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the reporting date, plus letters of credit outstanding in excess of $40.0 million and other short-term debt. The Company is allowed to subtract from consolidated indebtedness an amount equal to 100.0% of the domestic and foreign unrestricted cash ("netted cash"), the aggregate of which cannot exceed $200.0 million at the end of the reporting period. As of March 31, 2020, netted cash was $195.9 million.

The 2019 Credit Agreement contains certain customary negative covenants, which include limitations on liens, investments, indebtedness, dispositions, mergers and acquisitions, the making of restricted payments, changes in the nature of business, changes in fiscal year, transactions with affiliates, use of proceeds, prepayments of certain indebtedness, entry into burdensome agreements and changes to governing documents. The 2019 Credit Agreement also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including upon a change of control.

The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, which initially will be 0.25% per annum and following the delivery of financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2019, such fees as determined by a pricing grid based on the consolidated total net leverage ratio of the Company. As of March 31, 2020, the commitment fee was 0.175%. This unused commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears and on the date of termination or expiration of the commitments under the revolving credit facility. The Company and the other borrowers also pay customary letter of credit issuance and other fees under the 2019 Credit Agreement.

The maturity date of the 2019 Credit Agreement is October 16, 2024. Amounts under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time until the maturity date. The term loan facility is subject to quarterly amortization as set forth in the 2019 Credit Agreement. In addition, the term loan facility is subject to mandatory prepayment in connection with certain debt issuances, asset sales and casualty events, subject to certain reinvestment rights. Voluntary prepayments and commitment reductions under the 2019 Credit Agreement are permitted at any time without payment of any prepayment premiums.

Securitized Debt

On April 12, 2017, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a securitization transaction with respect to certain accounts receivable due to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (as amended, the "Accounts Receivable Securitization"). On April 5, 2019, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a new amendment to the Accounts Receivable Securitization. The amendment, among other things, extended the maturity date of the Accounts Receivable Securitization to April 6, 2021. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had completely drawn on the outstanding availability under the Accounts Receivable Securitization.

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:

(8) Stockholders' Equity
 
(a) Common and Preferred Stock. Tempur Sealy International has 300.0 million authorized shares of common stock with $0.01 per share par value and 10.0 million authorized shares of preferred stock with $0.01 per share par value. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.

The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by the stockholders, to issue from time to time shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Each such series of preferred stock will have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications, and special or relative rights or privileges as determined by the Board of Directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, redemption and sinking fund provisions, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.

(b) Treasury Stock. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $131.3 million remaining under the existing share repurchase program initially authorized by the Board of Directors in 2016. In February 2020, the Board of Directors authorized an increase, of over $190.0 million, to its existing share repurchase authorization of Tempur Sealy International's common stock to $300.0 million. The Company repurchased 2.6 million and 15,731 shares, under the program, for approximately $187.5 million and $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company ceased all share repurchase activity in March 2020.

In addition, the Company acquired 0.1 million shares upon the vesting of certain restricted stock units ("RSUs"), which were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations during each of the three months ended March 31, 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 $11.8 million and $2.9 million in treasury stock acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(c) 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 entitles 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”). Generally, the Rights become exercisable in the event any person or group of affiliated or associated persons acquires beneficial ownership of 10% (20% in the case of a passive institutional investor) or more of the Company's common stock without the approval of the Board of Directors, and until such time are inseparable from and trade with the Company's common stock. The Rights have a de minimis fair value. The Rights were issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement dated as of March 27, 2020 (the "Rights Agreement"), between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as rights agent. The Rights expire at the close of business on March 26, 2021 or upon an earlier redemption or exchange as provided in the Rights Agreement.

(10) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 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:

PRSU expense$0.3  $0.3  
Option expense1.2  1.2  
RSU/DSU expense5.8  5.1  
Total stock-based compensation expense$7.3  $6.6  

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 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 ("Adjusted EBITDA") during four consecutive fiscal quarters as described below (the "2019 Aspirational Plan PRSUs"). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the Company’s "Consolidated EBITDA" as such term is defined in the Company’s Credit Agreement. The 2019 Aspirational Plan PRSUs will vest based on the highest Adjusted EBITDA 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 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 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 in the Second Designated Period is $600.0 million then 66% of the remaining 2019 Aspirational Plan PRSUs will vest; if the Adjusted EBITDA is $650.0 million or more 100% will vest; if Adjusted EBITDA is between $600.0 million and $650.0 million then a pro rata portion will vest; and if Adjusted EBITDA is below $600.0 million then all of the remaining 2019 Aspirational Plan PRSUs will be forfeited.

TEMPUR SEALY INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (unaudited) (continued)
The Company did not record any stock-based compensation expense related to the 2019 Aspirational Plan PRSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as it was not probable that the Company would achieve the specified performance target for the Second Designated Period. The Company will continue to evaluate the probability of achieving the performance condition in future periods and record the appropriate expense if necessary. Based on the price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to this award if the performance target is met for the Second Designated Period would range from $33.1 million to $49.7 million, which would be a non-cash expense over the remaining service period if achievement of the performance condition becomes probable.

(11) 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.
(12) Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was 27.8% and 36.8%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Danish income tax liability recorded in the Company’s balance sheet for the periods 2001 through March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, is DKK 1,115.8 million (approximately $164.8 million using the exchange rate at March 31, 2020) and DKK 1,110.0 million (approximately $166.7 million using the exchange rate at December 31, 2019). The liability at March 31, 2020 is included within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (translated at the exchange rate on March 31, 2020) as per below:

DKKUSD
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities$847.3  $125.1  
Other non-current liabilities268.5  39.7  
Total $1,115.8  $164.8  

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 the Company made a tax deposit with SKAT of DKK 134.0 million applicable to a finalized tax assessment by SKAT for the years 2012 and 2013. The Company is contesting such assessment. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively the Company held on deposit with SKAT DKK 1,104.1 million (approximately $163.0 million using the applicable exchange rate at March 31, 2020) and DKK 970.1 million (approximately $145.6 million using the applicable exchange rate at December 31, 2019). The deposit is for the satisfaction of the anticipated liability for both tax and interest once these matters are concluded.

The Company excluded 0.2 million and 1.2 million shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, from the diluted earnings per common share computation because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of Tempur Sealy International's common stock or they were otherwise anti-dilutive. Holders of non-vested stock- based compensation awards do not have voting rights or rights to receive any dividends thereon.

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 months ended March 31, 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 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 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.

Uncertainty Relating to COVID-19

Prior to the global COVID-19 health crisis, our iconic brands and products had been performing very well throughout the world. We had been experiencing growth in all markets and especially strong growth in North America, with over 30% sales growth in January and February of 2020 compared to the corresponding prior period. Most recent trends have shown a sharp decline in the U.S. and Europe as order trends were down 80% for a few days in early April as compared to the same period in 2019. As of the date of this Report, second quarter to date orders are down approximately 55% as compared to the same period in 2019. Our operations in Asia began to feel the negative impact of COVID-19 in February as the virus began to spread throughout the region. Since then, the Asian market has shown varying degrees and stages of the impacts within the region primarily based on government infrastructure and response to the pandemic. Given these varying impacts in different regions at different times, we are monitoring markets on a country-by-country basis.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted, and is likely to continue to result, in significant economic disruption and has and will likely continue to adversely affect our business. As of the date of this filing, significant uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many stores of our third-party retailers within the Wholesale channel are closed in the U.S. and around the world. In addition, company-owned stores within the Direct channel are either closed or operating under restricted conditions. These closures have negatively impacted sales at the end of the first quarter and may negatively impact sales until the COVID-19 pandemic moderates. Our e-commerce operations remain open globally and ready to serve our customers, as do the e-commerce operations for many of our third-party retailers.

During this time of uncertainty, keeping our employees safe and healthy is a top priority. 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. We are also working with various government and healthcare organizations to provide products and services in this time of crisis. For more than a decade, we have donated tens of thousands of mattresses annually to charities and organizations in need across the country. For the immediate future, we are focusing all of the power of our philanthropic efforts on getting our products to governments, healthcare organizations and charities that have a need related to the pandemic.

The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid, and we are actively managing our response in collaboration with customers, government officials, employees and business partners. Our business model has a highly variable cost structure that naturally adjusts with changes in sales. Given the sudden and significant change in volume beginning in mid-March, actions were quickly implemented to further mitigate the financial impact. These actions included reducing expenses by approximately $300 million on an annualized basis, with approximately $225 million expected to occur in the last nine months of 2020. These reductions are primarily in advertising, personnel, including a furlough of 35% of U.S. salaried employees, other staffing related expenses and variable compensation. Additionally, we ceased share repurchases, delayed certain capital projects and canceled or suspended non-critical projects.

Despite these cost actions, we expect significant headwinds to gross margin in the second quarter of 2020. Within recent trends, we have seen a reduction in average selling price as consumers are purchasing lower priced products during this crisis period. In addition, we expect deleverage as fixed manufacturing costs are spread across fewer manufactured units. This will create deleverage in gross and operating margins resulting in an expected operating loss and negative unadjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, in the second quarter of 2020. Going forward, we anticipate operating income in the third and fourth quarter of 2020 to be dependent on the pace of the sales recovery in the markets impacted by COVID-19.

Additionally, to provide greater financial flexibility in response to the continued impact of COVID-19, we elected to hold approximately $200 million of cash by borrowing on our revolving senior secured credit facility. Total remaining availability under our revolving senior secured credit facility is $101.9 million. We have no major debt maturities until 2023, and our senior secured credit facility matures in 2024. However, given the uncertainty and the nature of this crisis, we are in advanced discussions with our commercial banks to obtain additional incremental liquidity.

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 our 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 impact of COVID-19 on the Company, please refer to "Risk Factors" in ITEM 1A of Part II of this Report.

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. We expect to leverage 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 19.0%, and on a constant currency basis increased 19.8%. The change in net sales was driven by the following:

North America net sales increased $133.2 million, or 24.5%. Net sales in the Wholesale channel increased $107.8 million, or 21.5%, primarily driven by the expansion of our retail distribution network. Net sales in the Direct channel increased $25.4 million, or 60.2%, primarily driven by growth from company-owned stores, including the Sleep Outfitters Acquisition and our e-commerce business. Excluding Sleep Outfitters, the Wholesale channel increased approximately 24% and the Direct channel increased approximately 20%.

International net sales decreased $1.7 million, or 1.2%. On a constant currency basis, International net sales increased 2.0%. Net sales in the Wholesale channel increased 2.3% on a constant currency basis. Net sales in the Direct channel increased 1.2% on a constant currency basis.

International79.9  55.0 %77.4  52.7 %2.3 %
Consolidated gross margin$357.1  43.4 %$281.8  40.8 %2.6 %

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

North America gross margin improved 330 basis points. The improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by a favorable impact from fixed cost leverage on higher unit volume of 140 basis points, lower commodity costs of 120 basis points and decreased floor model expenses of 90 basis points.
28

Table of Contents

International gross margin improved 230 basis points. The improvement in gross margin was primarily driven by operational improvements of 100 basis points, favorable country mix of 70 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 $27.4 million, or 12.2%, and decreased 190 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 $35.7 million, or 25.5%, and increased 20 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by advertising and other selling and marketing investments. 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. We have adapted our marketing in response to the current market created by COVID-19 to help ensure we can maximize the effectiveness of our marketing investments during this time. We have adjusted our media mix to focus on digital channels to reach consumers shopping online.

International operating expenses decreased $2.0 million, or 3.6%, and decreased 90 basis points as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by decreases in advertising and other selling and marketing investments.

Corporate operating expenses decreased $6.3 million, or 21.7%. In the first quarter of 2019, we recorded $3.0 million of professional fees related to the acquisition of Sleep Outfitters, which were not repeated in 2020. Additionally, the decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by a decrease in variable compensation expense.

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $5.8 million compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, an increase of $0.6 million, or 11.5%.

Operating income increased $44.8 million and operating margin improved 400 basis points. The primary drivers of changes in operating income and operating margin by segment are discussed below:

North America operating income increased $37.1 million and operating margin improved 320 basis points. The improvement in operating margin was primarily driven by the improvement in gross margin of 330 basis points and improved operating expense leverage. 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.

International operating income increased $1.4 million and operating margin improved 110 basis points. The improvement in operating margin was primarily driven by the improvement in gross margin and improved operating expense leverage, partially offset by the performance of the Asia-Pacific joint venture as a result of the reduction in contributions from its operations in China.

Corporate operating expenses decreased $6.3 million, which positively impacted our consolidated operating margin by 80 basis points. In the first quarter of 2019, we recorded $3.0 million of professional fees related to the acquisition of Sleep Outfitters, which were not repeated in 2020. Additionally, the decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by a decrease in variable compensation expense.

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 March 31, 2020, we had working capital of $296.0 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $197.0 million, as compared to working capital of $126.9 million including cash and cash equivalents of $64.9 million as of December 31, 2019.

At March 31, 2020, total cash and cash equivalents were $197.0 million, of which $171.6 million was held in the U.S. and $25.4 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:
Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)20202019
Net cash provided by (used in) continuing operations:
Operating activities$15.0  $4.6  
Investing activities(64.0) (20.3) 
Financing activities188.1  11.0  

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations increased $10.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by the increase in cash earnings offset in part by a increase in working capital. Accrued expenses and other liabilities were a use of cash in 2020 due to the payout of variable compensation and other expenses such as advertising given higher revenues and earnings in 2019.

Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations increased $43.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 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 provided by financing activities from continuing operations increased $177.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had net borrowings of $380.1 million on our credit facilities, as compared to net borrowings of $13.9 million in 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased $199.3 million of our common stock, which included repurchases of $187.5 million under our share repurchase program and $11.8 million which was withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to stock compensation. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we repurchased 15,731 shares for $0.8 million under our share repurchase program and $2.9 million which was withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to stock compensation. To provide greater financial flexibility in response to the continued impact of COVID-19, we elected to hold approximately $200 million of cash by borrowing on our revolving senior secured credit facility.

Cash Used in Discontinued Operations

Net cash used in operating, investing and financing activities from discontinued operations for the periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was not material.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures totaled $26.2 million and $19.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Given the current global COVID-19 health crisis and resulting business impacts, we have delayed certain capital projects and cancelled or suspended non-critical projects. We currently expect our 2020 capital expenditures to be approximately $75 to $90 million, which includes investments in our U.S. enterprise resource planning projects and domestic manufacturing facility.

Indebtedness

Our total debt increased to $1,941.9 million as of March 31, 2020 from $1,547.0 million as of December 31, 2019. To provide greater financial flexibility in response to the continued impact of COVID-19, we elected to hold approximately $200 million of cash by borrowing on our revolving senior secured credit facility during the first quarter of 2020. Total remaining availability under our revolving senior secured credit facility is $101.9 million. We have no major debt maturities until 2023, and our senior secured credit facility matures in 2024.

As of March 31, 2020, our ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, in accordance with our 2019 Credit Agreement was 3.03 times. This ratio is within the terms of the financial covenants for the maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio as set forth in the 2019 Credit Agreement, which limits this ratio to 5.00 times. As of March 31, 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, 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 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. 

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.

32

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. The Company elected to early comply with this rule in this Report.

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 three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 2.6 million shares for approximately $187.5 million. As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $131.3 million remaining under our existing share repurchase authorization. In February 2020, the Board of Directors authorized an increase, of $194.2 million, to our 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.

We ceased all share repurchase activity in March 2020. 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

We have taken actions and may continue to take actions intended to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets. These actions include:

Elected to hold approximately $200 million of cash by borrowing on our revolving senior secured credit facility during the first quarter of 2020. Total remaining availability under our facility is $101.9 million. We have no major debt maturities until 2023, and our senior secured credit facility matures in 2024.
Suspended our share repurchase program.
Delayed certain capital projects and canceled or suspended non-critical projects.

Table of Contents
Evaluated and took actions to reduce costs and spending across our organization, which included reductions in advertising, personnel, including a furlough of 35% of U.S. salaried employees, other staffing related expenses and variable compensation.
Worked closely with our customers, especially third-party retailers, to support their operations and ensure timely collection of amounts owed.
Closely managed working capital.
Advanced discussions with commercial banks to obtain additional incremental liquidity in the form of a variable rate term loan.

We believe that cash flow from operations, availability under our existing credit facilities and arrangements, current cash balances and the ability to obtain other financing, if necessary, will provide adequate cash funds for our foreseeable working capital needs, necessary capital expenditures, and debt service obligations. Our 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. 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.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and borrowings, as needed, under our debt facilities. We expect that ongoing requirements for debt service and capital expenditures will be funded from these sources. As of March 31, 2020, we had $1,941.9 million in total debt outstanding and our adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, was $151.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Our debt service obligations could, under certain circumstances, have material consequences to our stockholders. Total cash interest payments related to our borrowings are expected to be approximately $90 to $95 million in 2020. Our target range for our ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is 2.5 to 3.5 times. As a result of the current environment, we anticipate our ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to temporarily increase above our target range in 2020.
        
Non-GAAP Financial Information

We provide information regarding adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted operating income (expense), adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, consolidated indebtedness and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash, which are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income, earnings per share, operating income (expense), operating margin and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of operating performance 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, 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.

(3) 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 $9.8 million of EBITDA from this subsidiary for the ten months prior to acquisition in our calculation of adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2020.
(4) In 2019, we recorded an $8.9 million charge related to the donation of common stock at fair market value to certain public charities.
(5) In 2019, we recorded $3.5 million of acquisition-related and other costs. These costs included $2.8 million of post-acquisition restructuring charges and professional fees incurred in the acquisition of Sleep Outfitters and $0.7 million of professional fees in connection with the amendment of the senior secured credit facility.
(6) In the first quarter of 2020, in applying contractual definitions under the 2019 Credit Agreement, we recorded $2.3 million of certain direct charges related to operational disruptions caused by the government shutdowns as a result of COVID-19.
(7) In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded $1.5 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 the covenant compliance calculation.

On October 16, 2019, we entered into the 2019 Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks. Under the 2019 Credit Agreement, the definition of adjusted EBITDA contains certain restrictions that limit adjustments to net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA. For the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2020, our adjustments to net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA did not exceed the allowable amount under the 2019 Credit Agreement.

The ratio of adjusted EBITDA under the 2019 Credit Agreement to consolidated indebtedness less netted cash was 3.03 times for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 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.

 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.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually as of October 1 and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that impairment may have occurred. The most recent annual impairment tests performed as of October 1, 2019 indicated that the fair values of each of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets were substantially in excess of their carrying values. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Our assessment of an impairment on any of these assets could change in future periods if significant events happen and/or circumstances change that effect the previously mentioned assumptions included in our 2019 Annual Report, which could result in an impairment charge in future periods. Significant assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, such estimates as future projected business results, growth rates, the weighted average cost of capital, and royalty and discount rates. While we are unable to currently determine or predict the nature, duration or scope of the overall impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our business, a substantial decline in our operating performance over an extended period of time could cause us to recognize an impairment of some or all of our tangible and intangible assets.
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 negatively impacted our adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, by 0.3% in the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2020, resulting from a hypothetical 10.0% adverse change in all foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, is approximately $6.8 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 March 31, 2020, we had variable-rate debt of approximately $821.8 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 $8.2 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 March 31, 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 following:

the impact of the pandemic on the economies and financial markets of the regions in which we operate, including an increase in unemployment, has resulted in consumers having less disposable income and, in turn, in decreased sales of our products;
“shelter in place” and other similar mandated or suggested isolation protocols have disrupted third-party retailer stores and company-owned stores, via store closures or reduced operating hours and decreased retail traffic;
many of our third-party retailer stores within the Wholesale channel are closed in the U.S. and around the world; and
company-owned stores within the Direct channel are either closed or operating under restricted conditions.

41

Table of Contents
These effects, particularly store closures, have negatively impacted sales at the end of the quarter and may negatively impact sales until the COVID-19 pandemic moderates. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the length of time these closures will remain in effect, and the inability to sell our products through the Wholesale channel and within company-owned stores within the Direct channel has had and will continue to have a material adverse effect on our revenues and results of operation. Our e-commerce operations remain open globally and ready to serve our customers, 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.

These effects began in the latter weeks of March and have continued to date, so effects on the second quarter are likely to be more significant.

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 could continue to result in consumers having less disposable income and, in turn, in decreased sales of our products;
the continued disruption to third-party retailer stores and company-owned stores resulting from "shelter in place" and similar protocols, which, even if 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 even after the pandemic has initially subsided, fear of COVID-19 re-occurrence could cause customers to avoid public places where our stores and those of our Wholesale partners are located;
we may experience temporary or long-term disruptions in our supply chain, as the outbreak has resulted in travel disruptions and has impacted manufacturing and distribution throughout the world;
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.
