MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sleep Number Corporation (Nasdaq: SNBR) today reported results for the quarter ended July 3, 2021.
“Our differentiated sleep solutions have driven 18% average demand growth over the last twelve quarters including further acceleration in the second quarter,” said Shelly Ibach, President and CEO. “Robust consumer demand for Sleep Number 360® smart beds exceeded our expectations, while near-term supply constraints limited delivered net sales in June and July. We have made substantial progress in addressing temporary component shortages and expect strong delivery volumes the balance of the year. Sleep Number teams are driving higher than expected operational efficiencies, including operating profit margin expansion of 500 basis points versus the first half of 2019. We are raising our guidance for 2021 EPS to at least $7.25.”
Financial Overview
- Net sales year to date increased 39% compared with last year to $1.05 billion and were up 35% versus the first half of 2019; average trailing twelve-months (ttm) sales per store were more than $3.5 million; supply constraints limited second-quarter deliveries
- Gross profit year to date increased 39% to $649 million, or 61.6% of net sales, compared with 61.4% in 2020, and 61.3% in 2019 comparable periods

- Invested $32 million in capital expenditures and $267 million in Sleep Number stock during the first six months of 2021

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) |
|||||||||||||
We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) as net income plus: income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and asset impairments. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of our financial performance and our ability to generate cash from operating activities. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions used by other companies. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to the comparable GAAP financial measure: | |||||||||||||

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

Rent expense is added back to operating income to show the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets. |
|
|
2 |
Depreciation is based on the average of the last five fiscal quarters’ ending capitalized operating lease obligations (see note 5) for the respective reporting periods with an assumed thirty-year useful life. This life assumption is based on our long-term participation in given markets though specific retail location lease commitments are generally 5 to 10 years at inception. This is subtracted from operating income to illustrate the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets. |

Reflects annual effective income tax rates, before discrete adjustments, of 24.0% and 23.7% for 2021 and 2020, respectively. |
|
|
4 |
Long-term debt includes existing finance lease liabilities. |
|
|
5 |
A multiple of eight times annual rent expense is used as an estimate for capitalizing our operating lease obligations. The methodology utilized aligns with the methodology of a nationally recognized credit rating agency. |
|
|
6 |
Average invested capital represents the average of the last five fiscal quarters’ ending invested capital balances. |
|
|
7 |
ROIC equals NOPAT divided by average invested capital. |
