Sleep Number Announces First Quarter 2023 Results
- Net sales of $527 million were consistent with the prior year
- Net operating profit increased to $26 million, up $22 million versus the prior year, including a 160 basis point (bp) gross profit rate improvement year-over-year
- Diluted EPS of $0.51 versus $0.09 last year
- Reiterates full-year 2023 earnings outlook of $1.25 to $2.00 per diluted share
Sleep Number Corporation (Nasdaq: SNBR) today reported results for the quarter ended April 1, 2023.
“First quarter performance was consistent with our expectations, reflecting our team’s strong execution in a challenged macro environment with historically low consumer sentiment pressuring demand. After nearly two years of supply disruption, the consistent flow of microchips has enabled us to return to more efficient operations,” said Shelly Ibach, Chair, President and CEO. “Beginning in the second quarter we are executing a sequence of new integrated demand drivers, including our next generation Sleep Number smart beds, lifestyle furniture, and “Sleep Next Level” brand campaign. These ads inspire consumers to unlock their full potential through our smart bed’s life-changing, individualized sleep benefits.”
First Quarter Overview
- Net sales of $527 million were consistent with the prior year, including a 2% comparable sales decline, offset by two percentage points of growth from new stores
- Gross margin increased 160 bp to 58.9% of net sales, including the benefit of pricing actions, improvement in commodity prices and operating efficiencies resulting from a steady flow of microchips
- Operating income of $26 million represented a $22 million increase versus the prior year, including an $8 million gross profit increase and a $14 million reduction in operating expenses year-over-year
- Diluted EPS of $0.51 compared with $0.09 last year
Cash Flows Review
- Generated $19 million in net cash from operating activities in the first quarter, compared with $25 million for the same period last year
- Leverage ratio of 4.0x EBITDAR at the end of the first quarter versus covenant maximum of 5.0x
- Adjusted Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) of 20.4% for the trailing twelve months
Financial Outlook
The company reiterates its outlook for 2023 diluted EPS of $1.25 to $2.00. The 2023 outlook assumes net sales are flat to down mid-single digits versus the prior year and gross margin improves by more than 150 basis points versus 2022. The company expects to generate more than $100 million of operating cash flow for the year and positive free cash flows. The company anticipates 2023 capital expenditures of $50 million to $60 million and is planning no share repurchases under our Board-approved share repurchase program during the year.

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.

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