We are pleased that we delivered 61% net sales growth and our eighth consecutive quarter of positive comps, against our most difficult comparison of the year,” stated Steve Stagner, Mattress Firm’s chief executive officer. “We saw strong results in the first half of the quarter, offset by softness in the second half of the quarter and renewed headwinds in our oil-affected markets. Our integration of multiple acquisitions is progressing, and we are excited about the continued outperformance of the Sleep Train business and the progress we are seeing in Chicago. Despite a solid Labor Day and recent positive sales trends, we still expect volatility in the oil-affected markets and have adjusted our guidance to reflect that. We continue to see results from our Relative Market Share model, and believe we can create long-term value for our shareholders as we integrate our acquisitions and execute our growth strategies.”

Preliminary Second Quarter Financial Summary

Acquisitions

In September 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of the mattress specialty retail assets and operations of Back to Bed Inc., M World Mattress LLC, MCStores LLC and TBE Orlando LLC, which collectively operate Back to Bed and Bedding Experts retail stores in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin and Bedding Experts and Mattress Barn retail stores in Florida. The acquisition included approximately 131 mattress specialty retail stores primarily in the Chicago and Orlando metropolitan areas, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $64.5 million. The rebranding of the acquired retail stores in the Chicago market was substantially complete by the end of May 2015. The Chicago market sales growth year-over-year (“YOY”) from those stores both prior to and subsequent to their rebranding is demonstrated by the chart above.

Balance Sheet

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.6 million at the end of the second fiscal quarter. Net cash provided by operating activities was $89.4 million for the second fiscal quarter. During the second quarter, the Company repaid $55.1 million of long-term debt, and as of August 4, 2015, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving portion of the 2014 Senior Credit Facility (as defined in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission) and approximately $4.2 million in outstanding letters of credit, with additional borrowing capacity of $90.4 million.

Financial Guidance

The Company is increasing the midpoint of its sales guidance range by $30 million primarily as a result of the anticipation of 30 incremental net new stores and the outperformance at the Sleep Train brand. The Company is revising its Adjusted EPS financial guidance for the full fiscal year (52 weeks) ending February 2, 2016 (“fiscal 2015”) based on year-to-date results, continued volatility inside oil-affected markets, and the discontinuation of the Mattress Pro concept. These projections are forecasts and are intended solely to give investors an understanding of management’s expectations for the full fiscal year in light of the recent consumer environment and sales trends. The projections do not take into account, or give effect for, acquisitions that may be completed by the Company during the fiscal year or any other events that are beyond the Company’s reasonable control. As used in the guidance table below, “Adjusted Cash EPS” is defined as adjusted net income as presented in the “Reconciliation of Reported (GAAP) to Adjusted Statements of Operations Data”, plus tax effected stock compensation expense and depreciation and amortization, divided by the number of diluted shares. Please refer to “Reconciliation of Reported (GAAP) to Adjusted Statements of Operations Data” for a reconciliation of GAAP EPS to Adjusted Cash EPS and other information which is not calculated on a GAAP basis. Comparable-store sales growth for fiscal year 2014 excludes incremental sales related to the 53rd week of operations. Adjusted data for future periods reflects management’s reasonable estimates of appropriate adjustments based on historical experience. Percentage growth calculations in the table below represent the midpoints of the guidance range provided. Net capital expenditures in the table below represent gross purchases of property and equipment, offset by cash construction allowances received from landlords.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release, such as those relating to our net sales, GAAP and Adjusted EPS and net store unit change for fiscal year 2015 and any anticipated effects of any recent acquisitions, are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to downturns in the economy; reduction in discretionary spending by consumers; our ability to execute our key business strategies and advance our market-level profitability; our ability to profitably open and operate new stores and capture additional market share; our relationship with our primary mattress suppliers; our dependence on a few key employees; the possible impairment of our goodwill or other acquired intangible assets; the effect of our planned growth and the integration of our acquisitions on our business infrastructure; the impact of seasonality on our financial results and comparable-store sales; our ability to raise adequate capital to support our expansion strategy; our success in pursuing and completing strategic acquisitions; the effectiveness and efficiency of our advertising expenditures; our success in keeping warranty claims and comfort exchange return rates within acceptable levels; our ability to deliver our products in a timely manner; our status as a holding company with no business operations; our ability to anticipate consumer trends; risks related to our primary stockholder, J.W.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before income tax expense, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), without giving effect to non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, gains or losses on store closings and impairment of store assets, gains or losses related to the early extinguishment of debt, financial sponsor fees and expenses, non-cash charges related to stock-based awards and other items that are excluded by management in reviewing the results of operations. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that the exclusion of these items is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our ongoing operating performance excluding certain non-cash and other items and to provide additional information with respect to our ability to comply with various covenants in documents governing our indebtedness and as a means to evaluate our period-to-period results. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. We have provided this information to analysts, investors and other third parties to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of our ongoing operations. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to determine executive incentive compensation payment levels. In addition, our compliance with certain covenants under the 2014 Senior Credit Facility, are calculated based on similar measures and differ from Adjusted EBITDA primarily by the inclusion of pro forma results for acquired businesses and new stores in those similar measures. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has significant limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

The following table contains a reconciliation of our net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated (in thousands):

      Thirteen Weeks Ended     Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
      July 29,     August 4,     July 29,     August 4,
      2014     2015     2014     2015
Net income     $ 14,299       $ 21,881     $ 22,019       $ 27,359
Income tax expense       9,194         13,678       14,085         16,778
Interest expense, net       3,469         10,046       6,285         20,299
Depreciation and amortization       9,509         14,752       18,201         28,746
Intangible assets and other amortization       848         1,366       1,611         2,703
EBITDA       37,319         61,723       62,201         95,885
Loss on store closings and impairment of store assets       648         1,173       906         1,468
Stock-based compensation       1,198         2,050       2,556         3,880
Secondary offering costs       -         169       -         480
Vendor new store funds (a)       (346 )       223       (443 )       611
Acquisition-related costs (b)       7,193         2,021       9,757         11,195
Other (c)       3,184         151       4,970         770
Adjusted EBITDA     $ 49,196       $ 67,510     $ 79,947       $ 114,289
                                     

 

(a)     We receive cash payments from certain vendors for each new incremental store that we open (“new store funds”). New store funds are initially recorded in other noncurrent liabilities when received and are then amortized as a reduction of cost of sales over 36 months in our financial statements. Historically, we have considered new store funds as a component of Adjusted EBITDA when received since new store funds are included in cash provided from operations. The adjustment includes the amount of new store funds received during the period presented and eliminates the non-cash reduction in cost of sales included in our results of operations.
       
(b)     Reflects both non-cash effects included in net income related to acquisition accounting adjustments made to inventories and other acquisition-related cash costs included in net income, such as direct acquisition costs and costs related to integration of acquired businesses.
       
(c)     Consists of various items that management excludes in reviewing the results of operations, including $1.6 million of ERP system implementation costs incurred during the thirteen weeks ended July 29, 2014, and $0.7 million and $2.9 million of ERP system implementation costs incurred during the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2015 and July 29, 2014, respectively.
       

Adjusted EPS and the other “Adjusted” data provided in this press release, including Adjusted Cash EPS, are also considered non-GAAP financial measures. We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP; however, management believes evaluating our ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP basis financial measures to facilitate year-over-year comparisons. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures to assess ongoing operations and considers them to be effective indicators, for both management and investors, of our financial performance over time. Our management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. For more information, please refer to “Reconciliation of Reported (GAAP) to Adjusted Statements of Operations Data” below.
