SGI

Somnigroup International Inc. SGI lowered its 2026 earnings outlook after second-quarter results reflected weaker bedding demand, Mattress Firm profitability pressures and commodity cost inflation. While the company delivered adjusted earnings growth and continued to generate synergies from the Mattress Firm acquisition, softer industry trends have reduced near-term earnings visibility. Somnigroup reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 58 cents per share, up 9.4% year over year and in line with the consensus estimate. Sales declined 3% to $1.82 billion and missed the consensus mark of $1.9 billion, with Mattress Firm weakness weighing on consolidated results. Somnigroup International Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Somnigroup International Inc. Quote The company’s gross margin expanded year over year, supported by acquisition synergies, operating efficiencies and product mix. Adjusted operating income, however, declined 3.5% to $216.6 million, highlighting the impact of ongoing cost pressures. Mattress Firm remains a key focus for investors following the quarter. The segment generated sales of $922.2 million, down 2.8% year over year, primarily due to store closures. Adjusted gross margin declined 240 basis points to 33.3%, while adjusted operating margin fell 130 basis points to 6.5%. The margin decline reflected higher consumer financing costs, store investments, deleverage and product mix changes. Somnigroup is continuing store refresh and brand wall initiatives, with $75 million of 2026 capital expenditures allocated toward those programs. While these investments could support future sales, they may weigh on near-term profitability if demand remains weak. Management lowered its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $2.85-$3.15 from the previous range of $3.00-$3.40. The company now expects the global bedding industry to decline by a mid-single-digit percentage in 2026 compared with its earlier expectation for a flat to slightly down market. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The revised outlook assumes low-single-digit like-for-like sales growth in Tempur Sealy North America, low-single-digit international growth and a slight decline in Mattress Firm like-for-like sales. Adjusted EBITDA is expected at approximately $1.39 billion at the midpoint of the guidance range. Management cited weaker-than-expected industry trends and challenges in the U.K. Dreams business as factors behind the guidance revision. The company noted that the U.S. bedding market was weaker than anticipated during the second quarter, although Mattress Firm same-store sales returned near the prior trend after the July 4 holiday period. Investors evaluating Somnigroup can also compare the company with other players in the home furnishings and bedding industry, including Floor & Decor Holdings, Inc. FND and Leggett & Platt, Incorporated LEG. Commodity costs affected profitability as input and freight inflation increased before pricing actions took effect. Management estimated roughly $90 million of annualized commodity inflation and said the timing gap created an approximately $10 million one-time headwind to Tempur Sealy profits in the second quarter. Somnigroup implemented pricing actions after the July 4 promotional period and expects those increases to offset the inflation impact in the second half of 2026. Still, management noted that pricing actions designed to neutralize commodity inflation can be margin dilutive. Somnigroup currently carries a Zacks Rank of 5 (Strong Sell). The stock has a VGM Score of C, with a Value Score of D, Growth Score of B and Momentum Score of C. Zacks Style Scores provide investors with separate measures of value, growth and momentum characteristics that complement the Zacks Rank. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. The company’s growth profile remains a relative strength, supported by Mattress Firm synergies, international expansion and improving cash generation. Tempur Sealy North America generated approximately $30 million of net sales and cost synergy benefits in the second quarter, while management expects Tempur Sealy brands and private labels to represent a mid-60s percentage of Mattress Firm sales and contribute an incremental $65 million of adjusted EBITDA benefit in 2026 versus 2025. However, weaker bedding demand, Mattress Firm margin pressures and commodity-related uncertainty remain key factors shaping SGI’s near-term earnings outlook.

Interested in Somnigroup International Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Somnigroup reported record Q2 adjusted EPS of $0.58, up 9% year over year, on $1.8 billion in sales and $297 million in adjusted EBITDA despite a bedding-market decline and uneven consumer demand. North American adjusted operating margin expanded to 26.7% as acquisition synergies and operational efficiencies offset commodity inflation, while Mattress Firm sales were steady but margins weakened due to product mix, financing costs and store investments. The company reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $2.85–$3.15 and expects its Leggett & Platt transaction to close by the end of Q3, pending shareholder approval; management expects the deal to improve vertical integration, cash flow and adjusted EPS. Somnigroup International (NYSE:SGI) reported record second-quarter adjusted earnings per share as the bedding company navigated a softer industry backdrop, commodity-cost pressure and uneven consumer demand across price points. For the second quarter of 2026, Somnigroup recorded net sales of $1.8 billion, adjusted EBITDA of $297 million and adjusted EPS of $0.58, up 9% from the prior year. Chairman, President and CEO Scott Thompson said the results reflected the company’s brands, global diversification and execution in a bedding market that management believes declined by the mid- to high-single digits compared with the prior year. → Sandisk Just Delivered a Blowout Quarter—Here's Why the Stock Is Falling Mattress Firm generated approximately $922 million in second-quarter net sales, while same-store sales grew slightly. Thompson said the retailer outperformed the broader U.S. market through its scale, marketing, product assortment and sleep-expert sales model. Mattress Firm adjusted gross margin declined 240 basis points to 33.3%, while adjusted operating margin fell 130 basis points to 6.5%. Chief Financial Officer Bhaskar Rao cited product mix, consumer financing costs, investments in stores and deleveraging as contributors. → 4 Oil and Gas ETF Plays as Prices Stay Sky-High Rao said a greater share of Tempur Sealy products at Mattress Firm lowered the retailer’s reported product gross-margin percentage because Somnigroup’s supply agreement provides some Mattress Firm economics through cooperative advertising credits. He said the mix change did not have a material impact on operating margin when viewed on a conforming basis. The company is continuing a Mattress Firm store-refresh initiative that is expected to be completed in 2027, while its brand-wall program is expected to conclude this year. Thompson also said Somnigroup plans to expand Kingsdown products to nearly 800 Mattress Firm stores over the next six months following a three-month pilot in 200 locations. → No Hangover: Revisiting Microsoft One Week After Earnings Tempur-Pedic Sealy North America sales were flat on a like-for-like basis, including flat like-for-like wholesale sales. Sales with third-party retailers declined 5% after normalizing for floor models, though management said that represented outperformance against the broader bedding industry. Like-for-like direct-channel sales declined 1%. North American adjusted gross margin increased 680 basis points to 61.8%, and adjusted operating margin rose 400 basis points to 26.7%. Rao attributed the gains to acquisition-related synergies, operational efficiencies and mix, partly offset by commodity-cost inflation before pricing actions. Somnigroup realized $30 million in net sales and cost synergies during the quarter. Rao said the company achieved roughly $15 million of cost synergies and exceeded its expectations for sales synergies through a higher balance of Tempur Sealy brands and private-label products at Mattress Firm. Management said modest price increases implemented after the July 4 promotional period were intended to offset higher input and freight costs. The timing created an approximately $10 million one-time headwind to second-quarter profit, according to Rao, but the company expects pricing to offset that impact in the second half. Somnigroup International sales increased 2% on a reported basis and 1% in constant currency. The company’s legacy Tempur-Pedic international operations outperformed the broader industry, supported by brand strength, marketing investment and local execution, management said. Its Dreams business in the United Kingdom continued to operate in what Thompson described as a difficult and highly promotional market. The business also experienced transitory challenges related to an enterprise resource planning system implementation. Rao said the system is functioning and that Dreams is taking orders and shipping products, though the rollout created some disruption. International gross margin declined 80 basis points to 47.4%, while operating margin fell 120 basis points to 12.4%, primarily due to commodity inflation. Thompson said the company continues to build its international retail presence through company-operated Tempur-Pedic stores and acquisitions, including Dreams, SOVA in Sweden and the recently announced acquisition of Danish retailer SENG. Somnigroup reaffirmed full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $2.85 to $3.15 and projected approximately $7.6 billion in sales at the midpoint after intercompany eliminations. The outlook assumes the global bedding industry declines by the mid-single digits for 2026, Tempur-Pedic Sealy North America like-for-like sales grow by the low single digits, international sales rise by the low single digits and Mattress Firm like-for-like sales decline slightly. During the question-and-answer session, Thompson said industry trends in the second quarter were weaker than management had expected. He also cited tougher-than-anticipated U.K. conditions, disruptions from the Dreams ERP implementation and added uncertainty tied to Middle East activity. The guidance assumes Tempur Sealy brands and private-label products will represent the mid-60% range of Mattress Firm sales, producing an incremental $65 million adjusted EBITDA benefit in 2026 versus 2025. The company expects adjusted EBITDA of approximately $1.39 billion at the guidance midpoint and reported gross margin slightly above 45%. Management expects 2026 capital expenditures of about $225 million, including $75 million related to Mattress Firm store-refresh and brand-wall programs. It also expects at least 50% of free cash flow to be directed toward dividends and share repurchases. Somnigroup ended the quarter with consolidated debt less cash of $4.3 billion and a leverage ratio of 2.99 times under its senior credit facility, within its stated target range of two to three times. The company generated record operating cash flow of $236 million and free cash flow of $182 million, while reducing net debt by more than $500 million over the trailing 12 months. Thompson said the proposed combination with Leggett & Platt has received nearly all required regulatory approvals. Leggett & Platt shareholders are scheduled to vote on Aug. 20, and Somnigroup expects the transaction to close before the end of the third quarter. The company said Leggett & Platt will be incorporated into guidance after closing. Thompson said the transaction is expected to strengthen Somnigroup’s vertical integration, expand its addressable markets, reduce financial leverage, increase operating cash flow and provide immediate adjusted EPS accretion before synergies.

Record second quarter adjusted EPS of $0.58, up 9% year-over-year, despite a challenging market. Mattress Firm delivered same-store sales growth and outperformed the broader U.S. market. International business continued to gain share, with legacy international outperforming the industry. North American adjusted gross margins expanded 680 basis points to 61.8%, driven by synergies and operational efficiencies. Strong cash flow generation with record operating cash flow of $236 million and free cash flow of $182 million. Leverage ratio returned to target range at 2.99x, and net debt reduced by over $500 million in trailing twelve months. Proposed Leggett & Platt combination is ahead of schedule, expected to close before end of Q3, with immediate EPS accretion and synergy opportunities. Industry trends were weaker than expected, with the U.S. market down mid-to-high single digits. Dreams UK business faced a tough market and transitory challenges from ERP implementation. July 4th holiday period was weak, negatively impacting Q2 results. Commodity cost inflation created a $10 million one-time headwind in Q2, with pricing actions only offsetting in the second half. Mattress Firm adjusted gross margin decreased 240 basis points due to product mix and consumer financing costs. International operating margin declined 120 basis points, driven by gross margin pressure. Full-year guidance was lowered, reflecting expectations for the industry to be down mid-single digits. Q: Can you talk about what changed in the quarter that drove the decision to lower the full-year guidance, and how you set the new range of $2.85 to $3.15? A: Scott Thompson (Chairman, President, and CEO) explained that the primary negative factors were weaker-than-expected industry trends in Q2, a rougher-than-expected ERP implementation at the UK's Dreams business, and additional uncertainty from Middle East activity. Baskar Rao (CFO) added that the guidance now assumes the industry will be down mid-single-digits for the full year, rather than the low single-digits previously expected. He noted that the July 4th holiday period was particularly weak, though the market has rebounded to trend lines since mid-July. The guidance implies about a 10% year-on-year EPS increase for the back half, consistent with the first half's performance. Q: Can you expand on what's driving the remarkable margin expansion in Tempur Sealy North America and how you're thinking about that in your guidance for the second half with additional pricing coming into the mix? A: Baskar Rao (CFO) attributed the margin expansion to continued execution against cost synergy targets (realizing about $15 million in Q2), exceeding expectations on sales synergies due to a higher balance of share at Mattress Firm, and strong operational productivity. He noted that the company's performance was actually adversely impacted by commodity costs ahead of pricing actions, making the margin performance even more impressive. The company continues to invest in advertising and supporting the new Stearns & Foster line launch in the back half. Q: What should we be thinking for the cadence of EPS in Q3 versus Q4, especially in light of the July 4th comments? A: Baskar Rao (CFO) stated that at the midpoint of guidance, the company expects about a 10% year-on-year EPS increase, consistent with the first half. He cautioned that Q3 2025 was relatively strong, so while they expect growth in both quarters, more of the growth will be weighted toward Q4 versus Q3. He also noted that while the July 4th period was weak, things have stabilized since then. Q: Can you provide more color on the demand environment in the US industry, given that you're calling the quarter slower than Q1 while other related products are stabilizing? A: Scott Thompson (Chairman, President, and CEO) noted that Leggett & Platt's data shows springs down low double-digits, confirming the industry weakness. He attributed the softness to some key advertisers undergoing restructuring, which limited their advertising. He dismissed concerns about systemic issues, suggesting that bedding and furniture often alternate in performance cycles. He highlighted that large retailers are clearly taking share from smaller ones, and there's a notable shift from web-based sales to brick-and-mortar, with their own Tempur stores comping up almost 3% in Q2. Q: Can you discuss the $10 million commodity cost impact and what you expect to face in the second half of the year? A: Baskar Rao (CFO) clarified that the $10 million is a transitory impact from the Middle Eastern crisis and supply disruptions, which created an inflationary environment. The company implemented pricing actions after the July 4th promotional period, which are expected to offset the $10 million headwind in the back half. He confirmed that the annualized inflation expectation remains around $90 million, with some puts and takes within the commodity portfolio, but largely consistent with prior expectations. Q: Do you think there are dynamics from a K-shaped economy, with strength at the high end and weakness at the low end? A: Scott Thompson (Chairman, President, and CEO) confirmed there is a clear K-shaped dynamic. Entry-level bedding has been the hardest hit, while luxury bedding has been very resilient and at times strong. He noted that financing costs at Mattress Firm have increased because they're selling more higher-end beds and interest rates have ticked up. The upper-end customer is showing up, not being particularly price sensitive, with strong closing rates, but the entry-level segment is definitely challenged. Q: Are you seeing more risk from third-party sellers of Tempur-Sealy products pulling back, and from the increased complexity of managing the business, as evidenced by the UK ERP issues? A: Scott Thompson (Chairman, President, and CEO) stated they are not seeing any significant pullback from third-party retailers, noting their sales were down 5%, which is slightly less than the industry decline, indicating incremental share gains. On complexity, he acknowledged the business is more complex and everyone is working harder, but emphasized the significant opportunities from synergies and innovation. He downplayed the ERP issue as a transitory problem that should be resolved within another quarter, and expressed confidence that the Leggett & Platt acquisition will more than offset any added complexity. Q: Can you share your latest thoughts on the multi-year financial outlook, and should the underlying growth rate get better once the Leggett deal closes? A: Scott Thompson (Chairman, President, and CEO) declined to update the 2028 outlook but provided context on the assumptions. He noted that the industry growth rate assumption will likely be lowered, which means more pent-up demand for outer years. However, he highlighted that current margin profiles are significantly better than what was in the original plan, which is a positive. He also noted the plan didn't include significant EPS growth from capital allocation, and recent activities like the Leggett deal and European acquisitions show enormous upside from deploying capital at high rates of return. He concluded they are "still in the game" on the plan and will update at year-end. Q: Can you provide an update on the initiatives not included in your synergy targets, such as logistics consolidation, real estate optimization, and revamping Mattress Firm marketing? A: Scott Thompson (Chairman, President, and CEO) reported that the Mattress Firm marketing strategy is well underway and has been successful based on share gains, with more leverage expected in 2027. Logistics is being worked on, with numbers potentially shared at the year-end call, and Leggett will be additive to that process. Real estate optimization will take longer and is somewhat dependent on the logistics plan. He also mentioned they continue to study Mattress Firm's real estate strategy and expect to return to net new store growth soon, as the economics are more compelling now that the balance of share has normalized. Q: Can you drill down on the weakness during the July 4th period and whether For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

Bedding manufacturer Somnigroup (NYSE:SGI) fell short of the market’s revenue expectations in Q2 CY2026, with sales falling 3% year on year to $1.82 billion. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.58 per share was in line with analysts’ consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy Somnigroup? Find out in our full research report. Revenue: $1.82 billion vs analyst estimates of $1.88 billion (3% year-on-year decline, 3.1% miss) Adjusted EPS: $0.58 vs analyst estimates of $0.58 (in line) Adjusted EBITDA: $296.5 million vs analyst estimates of $300.2 million (16.3% margin, 1.2% miss) Management lowered its full-year Adjusted EPS guidance to $3 at the midpoint, a 6.3% decrease Operating Margin: 11.1%, up from 9.6% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow Margin: 10%, up from 7.9% in the same quarter last year Market Capitalization: $14.64 billion Company Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson commented, "Our second-quarter performance demonstrates our global team's ability to execute in a dynamic environment. We delivered solid results while continuing to fully invest in our iconic brands, advancing our international growth strategy, preparing for the North American launch of our new Stearns & Foster collection and strengthening our multiple distribution platforms. The progress we are making across the business reinforces our confidence in our long-term strategy and our ability to create sustainable value." Established through the merger of Tempur-Pedic and Sealy in 2012, Somnigroup (NYSE:SGI) is a bedding manufacturer known for its innovative memory foam mattresses and sleep products Examining a company’s long-term performance can provide clues about its quality. Any business can experience short-term success, but top-performing ones enjoy sustained growth for years. Over the last five years, Somnigroup grew its sales at a 11.6% compounded annual growth rate. Though this growth is acceptable on an absolute basis, we need to see more than just topline growth for the consumer discretionary sector, which can display significant earnings volatility. This means our bar for the sector is particularly high, reflecting the non-essential and hit-driven nature of the products and services offered. Additionally, five-year CAGR starts around Covid, when revenue was depressed then rebounded. Long-term growth is the most important, but within consumer discretionary, product cycles are short and revenue can be hit-driven due to rapidly changing trends and consumer preferences. Somnigroup’s annualized revenue growth of 25% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, which is encouraging. We can better understand the company’s revenue dynamics by analyzing its most important segments, Wholesale and Direct, which are 65.9% and 34.1% of revenue. Over the last two years, Somnigroup’s Wholesale revenue (sales to retailers) averaged 3.6% year-on-year declines. On the other hand, its Direct revenue (sales made directly to consumers) averaged 143% growth. This quarter, Somnigroup missed Wall Street’s estimates and reported a rather uninspiring 3% year-on-year revenue decline, generating $1.82 billion of revenue. Looking ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 4.6% over the next 12 months, a deceleration versus the last two years. This projection is underwhelming and indicates its products and services will see some demand headwinds. ALSO WORTH WATCHING: Nvidia’s Quiet Partner. Nvidia’s chips cost a hundred grand.

Operating margin is a key measure of profitability. Think of it as net income - the bottom line - excluding the impact of taxes and interest on debt, which are less connected to business fundamentals. Somnigroup’s operating margin has been trending up over the last 12 months and averaged 10.8% over the last two years. The company’s higher efficiency is a breath of fresh air, but its suboptimal cost structure means it still sports inadequate profitability for a consumer discretionary business. In Q2, Somnigroup generated an operating margin profit margin of 11.1%, up 1.5 percentage points year on year. This increase was a welcome development, especially since its revenue fell, showing it was more efficient because it scaled down its expenses. Revenue trends explain a company’s historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth — for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions. Somnigroup’s flat EPS over the last five years was below its 11.6% annualized revenue growth. This tells us the company became less profitable on a per-share basis as it expanded. In Q2, Somnigroup reported adjusted EPS of $0.58, up from $0.53 in the same quarter last year. This print was close to analysts’ estimates. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Somnigroup’s full-year EPS to grow 21.8% from $2.84 to $3.46. We struggled to find many positives in these results. Its revenue missed and its full-year EPS guidance fell short of Wall Street’s estimates. Overall, this was a weaker quarter. The stock remained flat at $69.74 immediately after reporting. Should you buy the stock or not? If you’re making that decision, you should consider the bigger picture of valuation, business qualities, as well as the latest earnings.

CARTHAGE, Mo., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- 2Q sales of $1.0 billion, a 6% decrease vs 2Q25, including a 5% decrease from divestitures 2Q EPS of $.33, 2Q adjusted1 EPS of $.39, a $.09 increase vs adjusted1 2Q25 EPS President and CEO Karl Glassman commented, "We are pleased with how our teams managed through a challenging environment in the second quarter. Our employees remained focused on disciplined execution and cost management which, along with favorable items that we do not expect to repeat in future quarters, contributed to improved adjusted earnings. "Bedding industry conditions remain challenged both by sluggish consumer activity and continued consolidations and bankruptcies across the value chain. We estimate that U.S. mattress market units declined by low double digits in the second quarter, similar to the declines we saw in the first quarter. In our Bedding Products segment, continued strong performance of our trade rod and wire business partially offset the decline from lower mattress demand. "Across our other segments, demand remained soft in markets tied to housing and broader consumer spending as consumers were faced with additional uncertainty resulting from the war in the Middle East and higher gas prices. In Specialized Products, Automotive performed slightly below the market, which saw lower consumer demand across all regions. In Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products, growth in Textiles offset lower demand in the remaining businesses, which are more directly exposed to U.S. residential spending, leading to a slight improvement in trade sales. "As we look forward, we remain focused on executing our strategic priorities while expecting ongoing macroeconomic headwinds to temper consumer demand across most of our businesses for the remainder of the year. "Finally, we continue to progress towards the planned merger with Somnigroup. As previously announced, the waiting period under the HSR Antitrust Improvements Act expired in June. We anticipate the transaction to close upon satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions, including Leggett & Platt shareholder approval at the special meeting planned for August 20th and the remaining required regulatory approvals. As previously stated, we believe this combination with a valued long–standing customer will create a leading global company - providing compelling strategic and financial value for our customers, employees, and the Leggett & Platt shareholders." SECOND QUARTER RESULTSSecond quarter sales were $1.0 billion, a 6% decrease versus second quarter last year 2025 divestitures decreased sales 5% Organic sales2 were down 1% Second quarter EBIT was $80 million, down from $90 million in second quarter 2025. Adjusted1 EBIT was $89 million, up from second quarter 2025 adjusted1 EBIT of $76 million. Adjusted1 EBIT increased primarily from metal margin expansion, restructuring benefit, and other favorable items, most of which are not expected to repeat in future quarters. EBIT margin was 8.0%, down from 8.5% in the second quarter of 2025, and adjusted1 EBIT margin was 8.9%, up from 7.1%. Second quarter EPS was $.33, a $.05 decrease versus second quarter 2025 EPS of $.38. Second quarter adjusted1 EPS was $.39, up $.09 versus second quarter 2025 adjusted1 EPS of $.30. DEBT AND CASH FLOW Net Debt1 was 2.6x trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA1 Total Debt at June 30 was $1.5 billion in three tranches of long-term bonds at $500 million each Operating cash flow was $46 million in the second quarter, a decrease of $38 million versus second quarter 2025, reflecting an expected larger investment in working capital and lower earnings Capital expenditures were $21 million Dividends were $7 million SEGMENT RESULTS – Second Quarter 2026 (versus 2Q 2025) Bedding Products – Trade sales decreased 1% EBIT increased $15 million and adjusted1 EBIT increased $24 million Adjusted1 EBIT increased primarily from metal margin expansion, favorable sales mix, temporary price-cost timing benefit in Specialty Foam, and restructuring benefit. These increases were partially offset by lower volume. We believe U.S. mattress market units were down low double digits in the second quarter Specialized Products – Trade sales decreased 19% EBIT decreased $20 million and adjusted1 EBIT decreased $15 million Adjusted1 EBIT decreased primarily from earnings associated with the divested Aerospace business, currency impact, and lower volume Automotive volume was slightly below major market production in the quarter, driven by underperformance in Asia partially offset by outperformance in Europe and North America Furniture, Flooring & Textile Products – Trade sales increased 1% EBIT and adjusted1 EBIT increased $5 million Adjusted1 EBIT benefited from refunds of IEEPA tariffs that were paid during the eleven-month period they were in force. During that period, competitive pressures led to margin compression as cost increases, including tariffs, were not fully recovered through increased selling prices. 2026 GUIDANCE AND CONFERENCE CALLOn April 13, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to be acquired by Somnigroup International Inc. (NYSE: SGI). The transaction is anticipated to close upon satisfaction of the remaining closing conditions, including Leggett & Platt shareholder approval at the August 20, 2026 meeting and remaining required regulatory approvals. As is customary while a transaction is pending, Leggett & Platt's 2026 guidance issued in February was withdrawn last quarter and should no longer be relied upon.

The progress we are making across the business reinforces our confidence in our long-term strategy and our ability to create sustainable value." Business Segment Highlights The Company's business segments include Mattress Firm, Tempur Sealy North America and Tempur Sealy International. Corporate operating expenses are not included in any of the business segments and are presented separately as a reconciling item to consolidated results. Mattress Firm net sales decreased 2.8% to $922.2 million as compared to $948.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by store closures. Mattress Firm same store sales were up slightly as compared to the second quarter of 2025. All Mattress Firm sales are reported through the direct channel. Mattress Firm gross margin was 33.3% as compared to 35.6% in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross margin(1) declined 240 basis points to 33.3% as compared to 35.7% in the second quarter of 2025. These declines were primarily driven by product mix, consumer financing costs, investments in Mattress Firm's stores and deleverage. Mattress Firm operating margin was 6.4% as compared to 6.7% in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating margin(1) declined 130 basis points to 6.5% as compared to 7.8% in the second quarter of 2025. These declines were primarily driven by the decline in gross margin, partially offset by favorable co-operative advertising expense. Tempur Sealy North America net sales to Mattress Firm increased 11.6% to $294.0 million as compared to $263.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. These sales are eliminated on a reported basis. Reported net sales, which were impacted by market conditions, decreased 5.7% to $601.8 million as compared to $638.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. Reported net sales through the wholesale channel decreased $29.6 million, or 5.5%, to $504.4 million as compared to the second quarter of 2025. Reported net sales through the direct channel decreased $7.0 million, or 6.7%, to $97.4 million as compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by a decrease in sales from the divestiture of Sleep Outfitters in the second quarter of 2025. North America gross margin was 61.1% as compared to 54.5% in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted gross margin(1) improved 680 basis points to 61.8% as compared to 55.0% in the second quarter of 2025. These improvements were primarily driven by the achievement of synergies from the Mattress Firm acquisition, operational efficiencies and mix. These improvements were partially offset by commodity cost inflation before pricing actions. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company implemented price increases designed to reflect the increase in key input cost of production. North America operating margin was 25.9% as compared to 20.4% in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating margin(1) improved 400 basis points to 26.7% as compared to 22.7% in the second quarter of 2025. These improvements were primarily driven by the improvement in gross margin, partially offset by investments in co-operative advertising expense. Tempur Sealy International net sales increased 2.0% to $299.5 million as compared to $293.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. On a constant currency basis(1), International net sales increased 1.3% as compared to the second quarter of 2025. Net sales through the direct channel decreased $2.2 million, or 1.2%, to $182.7 million as compared to the second quarter of 2025. Net sales through the wholesale channel increased $8.1 million, or 7.5%, to $116.8 million as compared to the second quarter of 2025. International gross margin declined 80 basis points to 47.4% as compared to 48.2% in the second quarter of 2025.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company implemented price increases designed to reflect the increase in key input cost of production. International operating margin declined 120 basis points to 12.4% as compared to 13.6% in the second quarter of 2025. The decline was primarily driven by the decline in gross margin. Corporate operating expense decreased to $50.8 million as compared to $53.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by decreased costs related to the Mattress Firm acquisition. Adjusted operating expense(1) was $41.0 million as compared to $34.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. Consolidated Financial Position Consolidated net income increased 12.0% to $110.9 million as compared to $99.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income(1) increased 8.4% to $122.6 million as compared to $113.1 million in the second quarter of 2025. EPS increased 10.6% to $0.52 as compared to $0.47 in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted EPS(1) increased 9.4% to $0.58 as compared to $0.53 in the second quarter of 2025. The Company ended the second quarter of 2026 with total debt of $4.4 billion and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash(1) of $4.3 billion. Leverage based on the ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash(1) to adjusted EBITDA(1) was 2.99 times for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026. Financial Guidance For the full year 2026, the Company revised its expectations for adjusted EPS(1) to a range of $2.85 to $3.15, which represents an approximate 11% increase from 2025 adjusted EPS(1) at the mid-point of the range. The Company noted that its expectations are based on information available at the time of this release, and are subject to changing conditions and risks, many of which are outside the Company's control, including the possible imposition of new tariffs or retaliatory tariffs, uncertainties arising from global and geo-political events (including the war in Ukraine and the war in the Middle East) and any related effect on pricing, sales and supply of materials, labor costs and other employment-related costs, increases in existing tariffs and other changes in trade policy and regulations and the resulting uncertainty of the macroeconomic environment. The Company is unable to reconcile forward–looking adjusted EPS, a non–GAAP financial measure, to EPS, its most directly comparable forward–looking GAAP financial measure, without unreasonable efforts, because the Company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact EPS in 2026. Proposed Acquisition of Leggett & Platt On April 13, 2026, the Company announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Leggett & Platt, Incorporated ("Leggett & Platt"), a diversified component manufacturer, in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $2.5 billion based on the closing price of Somnigroup International's common stock as of April 10, 2026 and inclusive of Leggett & Platt's existing indebtedness. The Company expects the transaction to close by the end of the third quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval by Leggett & Platt's shareholders and receipt of applicable regulatory approvals.

Investor Relations Contact: Lauren AvrittInvestor RelationsSomnigroup International [email protected] Summary of Channel Sales The following table highlights net sales information, by channel and by business segment, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: SOMNIGROUP INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIESReconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures(in millions, except percentages, ratios and per common share amounts) The Company provides information regarding adjusted net income, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income (expense), adjusted operating margin, consolidated indebtedness and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash, which are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income, earnings per share, gross profit, gross margin, operating income (expense) and operating margin as a measure of operating performance, or an alternative to total debt as a measure of liquidity. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with performance measures that better reflect the Company's underlying operations and trends, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income, gross profit, gross margin, operating income (expense) and operating margin. The adjustments management makes 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 management does not consider to be the fundamental attributes or primary drivers of the Company's business. The Company believes that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying results from operations and trends, and management uses these measures along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the Company's business, to evaluate its 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 financial measures include that these measures do not present all of the amounts associated with the Company's 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. Constant Currency Information In this press release the Company refers to, and in other press releases and other communications with investors the Company may refer to, net sales, 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. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS A reconciliation of reported net income to adjusted net income and the calculation of adjusted EPS are provided below. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional useful information with respect to the impact of various adjustments as described in the footnotes at the end of this release. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported net income to adjusted net income and the calculation of adjusted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income (Expense) and Adjusted Operating Margin A reconciliation of gross profit and gross margin to adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin, respectively, and operating income (expense) and operating margin to adjusted operating income (expense) and adjusted operating margin, respectively, are provided below. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with additional useful information with respect to the impact of various adjustments as described in the footnotes at the end of this release. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported gross profit and operating income (expense) to the calculation of adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

The Company's credit agreement (the "2023 Credit Agreement") provides the definition of adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, the Company presents adjusted EBITDA to provide information regarding the Company's compliance with requirements under the 2023 Credit Agreement. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported net income to the calculations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025: The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's net income to the calculations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026: Under the 2023 Credit Agreement, the definition of adjusted EBITDA per credit facility contains certain restrictions that limit adjustments to net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026, the Company's adjustments to net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA did not exceed the allowable amount under the 2023 Credit Agreement. The ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA per credit facility is 2.99 times for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026. The 2023 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA of less than 5.00 times. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported total debt to the calculation of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash as of June 30, 2026. "Consolidated Indebtedness" and "Netted Cash" are terms used in the 2023 Credit Agreement for purposes of certain financial covenants.
