Scott Thompson: As previously mentioned, we undertook a new advertising strategy for Mattress Firm to harmonize the message with Somnigroup initiatives, culminating in the launch of our new Mattress Firm advertising campaign, Sleep Easy, in the back half of 2025. We introduced new campaign iterations into the marketplace over the last quarter and continued to achieve all-time high market research scores. Key performance indicators consistently indicate that the campaign is having a measurably positive impact on customers' impression of Mattress Firm and the brands being presented, enhancing awareness and triggering consumers' interest in bedding, benefiting all bedding retailers. Campaign's strong performance has already prompted two non-SGI vendor partners to commit additional advertising dollars directly to Mattress Firm to capitalize on the opportunity both our scale and our new messaging platform now clearly represents for bedding brands.

Bhaskar Rao: As a result, our Q1 and full year 2026 reported results will reflect the impact of a little over 1 additional month of Mattress Firm financial results. We expect adjusted earnings per share to be between $3 and $3.40. This guidance range contemplates a sales midpoint of approximately $7.9 billion after intercompany eliminations. Our annual guidance also reflects our expectation that the global bedding industry will grow slightly versus the prior year, driven by low single-digit growth in the first half of the year. Tempur Sealy North America sales grow in mid-single digits on a like-for-like basis, and reported sales to be impacted by the intercompany elimination I referenced a moment ago.

Now turning to our sales and cost synergy targets.
Bhaskar Rao: In 2025, we achieved a $60 million benefit in Adjusted EBITDA from sales synergies ahead of our initial expectations. We exited the year at a low 60% of Mattress Firm's total sales, averaging mid-50s for the full year. At the same time, Purple and Kingsdown both grew share at Mattress Firm. We will see the wraparound effect of Tempur Sealy share gains in 2026,... resulting in an incremental $40 million of EBITDA benefit and positioning us to confidently deliver on our $100 million run rate sales synergy target. Since we have held Mattress Firm sales flat in estimating this balance of share opportunity, we expect the synergy benefit to grow as we start to see the US bedding industry normalize.

You talk about short periods, you always have to think about it. And it was tough weather in the US. And the way I always look at that is I look at lost days, and if you look at Mattress Firm, we had 5,000 days of store losses that were incremental to last year. So to be clear, that's not like rain or something. That means this weather was so bad, the store didn't open.

Lastly, I would like to headline that we will be hosting an investor day.
Scott Thompson: So we lost 5,000 days of sales during that period off of the possibility of 90,000 days. So it's about a 6% headwind incrementally in store closings. So as you would expect during that period, Mattress Firm's same-store sales were slightly down. But then as soon as you get into the Presidents' Day holiday period, which we'll call that, you know, 11 February forward, sales have been very robust. And when I say very robust, I mean double digits robust, driven by strong AOV, driven by Tempur, clearly a customer that's in the market wanting to buy. And the result is, you know, looking at US Mattress Firm sales, because that's kind of the best index for consumers, and it has real-time data, is now we're running positive same-store sales at Mattress Firm to start the quarter.

New York on March 4th.
During that day, we expect.
Um, you know, we had tough weather and I hate talking about whether obviously, but you talk about short periods, you always have to think about it. And it was tough weather in the US. And the way I always look at that is, I look at lost days and if you look at Mattress Firm, uh, we had 5,000 days of store losses that were incremental to last year. So to be clear that's not like rain or something. That means this weather was so bad, the store didn't open. So we lost 5,000 days of sales during that period off of the possibility of 90,000 days. So it's about a, a 6% headwind incrementally saying store, closings. So, as you would expect, during that period, uh, mattress firms, thanks to our sales work. We're, we're slightly down
To share more information on our three year EPS target.
Our strategic vision for some new group.
Discuss growth initiatives or Tempur sealy accuracy.
Mattress firm and dreams and provide additional details on our capital allocation strategy.
But then as soon as you get into the president holiday period, which we'll call that, you know, February 11th, forward sales have been very robust. And when I say very robust, I mean you double digits, uh, robust

Scott Thompson: So when I look at it, it looks like a bedding market and a consumer that wants the market to grow. And we've got to get out of our way, whether it be some drama in Washington or whether it be, you know, an unusually strong storm slows you down a little bit. But it does feel like it's a market that's poised for growth.

Scott Thompson: Good morning.
Scott Thompson: Good morning.
Bhaskar Rao: And if I could add on to that, then the way to think about the quarter when you put all that together is from a Q1 sales standpoint, we would expect something in and around positive 14% or a little over $1.8 billion, with EPS growing in and around 20%.

Good morning.
Susan Maklari: Good morning, Scott. My question is around the outlook for demand. Can you talk a bit about the state of the consumer, how you're thinking about the shape of demand as we come into 2026, and how you're thinking of the drivers and the potential for out or underperformance relative to the guide for Tempur North America sales to be up low single digits on a like-for-like basis?

Good morning, Scott.
It is around the outlook for demand can you talk a bit about the state of the consumer how youre thinking about the shape of demand as we come into 2020, and how you are thinking of the drivers and the potential for our underperformance relative to the guide for Tempur North America.
With EPS growing, uh, in and around 20%.
Operator. Next question.
Sales to be up low single digits on a like for like basis.
Scott Thompson: Operator, next question.
Scott L. Thompson: Operator, next question.
Your next question is from Bobby Griffin from Raymond James. Your line is now open.
Scott Thompson: Sure, Susan, thank you for the question. I mean, first thing in demand, I'd say our estimates are for $3, $2.40 for 2026. You know, one of the foundations of it is basically a flat market. We didn't call a turn in there, and if we had, obviously, the flow-through on that guidance would be significant. But we thought, you know, considering Q4 came in a little light from an industry standpoint, from our expectations, that probably flat was the right way to go into the year. And then we'll see how demand develops. If you're talking about what are we thinking about? Geez, you know, Q4, again, came in a little bit less from an industry standpoint than we expected.

I mean first thing in demand our estimates are four or $3 $3 40 for 2026.
Morning guys, thanks for taking the questions and Aubrey from grabs on the new positions. It's been great working with you over the last few years.
Bobby Griffin: Good morning, guys. Thanks for taking the questions. And Aubrey, congrats on the new position. It's been great working with you over the last few years. I guess, Foster and Scott, for my question, I want to maybe unpack the guide a little bit. And Foster, can you help us and just kind of clean up some things in the model in terms of, like, what's less on the customer in transition, as well as I know we have the wraparound benefit of Mattress Firm and some of the divestiture, divestitures. And I guess I'm asking in the context, if I take the cost synergies, the EBITDA benefit from the floor shift, as well as our guess at what the one month of Mattress Firm is, we can walk our way pretty close to the midpoint just on those.

One of the foundations of it is basically a flat market.
Didn't call it turn in there and if we had obviously the flow through on that guidance would be significant but we thought.
<unk> the fourth quarter came in a little light from an industry standpoint my expectations.
I guess Foster and Scott for my question, I wanted to maybe unpack the guide a little bit and in Boston can you help us and just kind of clean up some things in the model in terms of like what's left on the customer transition as well. As I know we have the wraparound benefit of Mattress Firm and some of the investors deers and I guess I'm asking in the context if I take the cost synergies,
Probably flat was the right way to go into the year and then we'll see we'll see how demand.
<unk> develops.
If youre talking about how we're thinking about Ges fourth quarter again came in a little bit less from an industry standpoint than we expected and if you look at the start of the first quarter, it's kind of a tale of two cities. If you look at the pre Presidents' day holiday period call. It January one I.
Peter Keith: ... So is there anything I'm missing on an offset, or is the way to view that more just conservative in the model? Like, just want to make sure we're thinking about all the parts the right way.
Bobby Griffin: ... So is there anything I'm missing on an offset, or is the way to view that more just conservative in the model? Like, just want to make sure we're thinking about all the parts the right way.
Scott Thompson: And if you look at, you know, the start of Q1, it's kind of a tale of two cities. If you look at the pre-President's Day holiday period, you know, call it 1 January to, I don't know, 10 February or so, you know, we had tough weather, and I hate talking about weather, obviously, but if you talk about short periods, you always have to think about it. And there was tough weather in the US. And the way I always look at that is I look at lost days, and if you look at Mattress Firm, we had 5,000 days of store losses that were incremental to last year. So to be clear, that's not like rain or something.

So to be clear, that's not like rain or something.
The EVAP benefit from uh, the floor shift, as well as our guests at what the 1 month. The maximum is we can walk our way pretty close to the midpoint just on those. So is there anything I'm missing on an offset or is the way to view that mortgage is conservative and the model like just want to make sure we're thinking about all the parts the right way.
Scott Thompson: Sure. Let me, let me give it a try, and then you can follow up as necessary. So when I think about this fundamentally is, it's all based on an industry that's flat to slightly up. On top of that, what we have is share gains in all of our geos. So internationally growing high single, and in North America, call it that mid-single. And that would get you, let's call it in and around $7.9 billion. When you go forward from a gross profit standpoint, well, let's talk about the stub period. So the stub period, you're correct, is about one month shy relative to prior year, and call that in and around, call it $280 million or so net.

I don't know February 10th or so.
We had tough weather and I hate talking about weather, obviously, but you talked about short periods, you always have to think about it and it was tough weather in the U S and the way I always look at that as I look at lost days and if you look at mattress firm.
We had 5000 days of store losses that were incremental to last year, so to be clear that's not like rain or weather was so bad the store didn't open. So we lost five days of sales during that period off of a possibility of 90000 days. So it's about a 6% headwind.
Scott Thompson: That means the weather was so bad, the store didn't open, so we lost 5,000 days of sales during that period off of a possibility of 90,000 days. So it's about a 6% headwind incrementally in store closings. So as you would expect during that period, Mattress Firm's same-store sales were slightly down. But then as soon as you get into the President holiday period, which we'll call that, you know, 11 February forward, sales have been very robust. And when I say very robust, I mean double digits robust, driven by strong AOV, driven by Tempur, clearly a customer that's in the market wanting to buy.

Sure, let me, let me give it a try and then you can uh, uh, follow up as necessary. So when I think about this fundamentally is, it's all based on an industry that's flat to slightly up on top of that. What we have is share gains in in all of our GEOS. So internationally growing High single uh and in in North America call it that mid single and that would get you, let's call an in and around 7.9 billion dollars when you go forward from a gross profit standpoint. Uh well let's talk about the stub, period. So the stub period. You're correct is about 1 month's shy relative to Prior years and call that in and around, call it 280 or so million dollars. Net.
Scott Thompson: When you think about from a profitability standpoint, is we're gonna continue to support those brands. We call that about $720 million of advertising to continue to support from a launch standpoint. What's embedded in there is very nice gross profit improvement, let's call it about 100 basis points, on a year-over-year perspective. And the principal drivers of that is a couple of things. One is productivity through the plants, and on top of that would be the synergies that we've identified. And as noted in the prepared material, we've taken that number up about 25 basis points - sorry, $25 million on a year-over-year basis. There is a bit of a headwind associated with, let's call it, commodities, that would offset from a gross profit standpoint.

Incrementally and store closings. So as you would expect during that period.
Mattress firm's same store sales were slightly down.
But then as soon as you get into the President holiday period.
Which we'll call that.
February 11th forward sales have been very robust and when I say very robust I mean double digits robust driven by strong <unk>.
Driven by Tempur clearly of customers in the market wanting to buy and the result is.
Scott Thompson: And the result is, you know, looking at US Mattress Firm sales, because that's kind of the best index for consumers, and it has real-time data, is now we're running positive same-store sales at Mattress Firm to start the quarter. So when I look at it, it looks like a betting market and a consumer that wants the market to grow, and we've got to get out of our way, whether it be some drama in Washington or whether it be, you know, an unusually strong storm slows you down a little bit. But it does feel like it's a market that's poised for growth.

Looking at U S mattress firm sales because thats, probably the best index for consumers and real time data is now we're running positive same store sales at mattress firm.
Uh, when you think about from a profitability standpoint is, we're going to continue to support those Brands. We call that about 720 million dollars of advertising to continue to support from a launch standpoint. What's embedded in there is uh is very nice. Gross profit Improvement. Let's call it about a 100 basis points, uh, on a year-over-year perspective and the principal drivers of that is a couple of things. 1 is productivity through the plants and on top of that would be the the the synergies that we've identified.

There is a bit of a headwind uh, associated with let's call it Commodities. That would offset from a gross profit standpoint. But if you add, all those pieces of big fundamentally the, the foundation being industry market share gains and margin expansion. It gets you to
Scott Thompson: But if you add all those pieces up, I think fundamentally, the foundation being industry, market share gains, and margin expansion, it gets you to in and around the midpoint. Operator, next question.
Scott L. Thompson: But if you add all those pieces up, I think fundamentally, the foundation being industry, market share gains, and margin expansion, it gets you to in and around the midpoint. Operator, next question.
For the quarter. So so when I look at it it looks like the bedding market in a consumer.
Operator. Next question.
Once the market to grow and we've got to get out of our way whether it be some drama in Washington, or whether it would be an unusually strong storm slows you down a little bit but it does feel like it's a market that.

It's poised for growth.
Bhaskar Rao: If I could add on to that, it, then the way to think about the quarter when you put all that together is from a Q1 sales standpoint, we would expect something in and around positive 14% or a little over $1.8 billion, with EPS growing in and around 20%.

And if I could add on to that then.
Victoria Piskarev: Hi, you have Victoria Pipscher on for Dave Judge. Thanks for taking our question. I was wondering if you could talk a little bit more about the elasticity of demand and, how did price increases impact your volume?
Rafe Jadrosich: Hi, you have Victoria Pipscher on for Dave Judge. Thanks for taking our question. I was wondering if you could talk a little bit more about the elasticity of demand and, how did price increases impact your volume?
Way to think about the quarter when you put all that together.
Is from our first quarter sales standpoint, we would expect something in and around positive, 14% or little over $1 8 billion with EPS growing.
Um, hi. You have Victoria Pittsburgh on for. We've got research. Thanks for taking taking your question. Um, I was wondering if you could talk a little bit more about the last elasticity of demand and um how did price increase has been packed to volume?
Yeah, you know, we we took quite a bit of price over the last couple of years.
In and around 20%.
Scott Thompson: Yeah. You know, we, we took quite a bit of price over the last couple of years, and I can't really see any significant impact from, from a volume standpoint. This is an industry that has always been very efficient in passing actual cost, commodity cost increases, through the channel, and it looks like it's could continue to do that.

Thank you and good morning. Appreciate you taking our question.
Daniel Silverstein: Thank you, and good morning. Appreciate you taking our question. Maybe just to build on Bobby's question, if we kind of expand that out to the 2028 target, is the raise there just the additional synergies, or has anything else changed on kind of the outlook on the pace of an industry recovery or Somnigroup's growth against that industry? Thank you.

maybe just to build on Bobby's question if, if we kind of expand that out to the the 2028 Target,
The cost synergies.
Bhaskar Rao: ... the EBITDA benefit from the floor shift as well as our guess at what the one month de-match is from is, we can walk our way pretty close to the midpoint just on those. So is there anything I'm missing on an offset, or is the way to view that more just conservative in the model? Like, just wanna make sure we're thinking about all the parts the right way.

The EBITDA benefit from the floor ship as well as our guests are what the one month of matches for them as we can work our way pretty close to the midpoint just on those so is there anything I'm missing on an offset or is the way to view that more just conservative in the model I just want to make sure we're thinking about all the parts of the right way.
Is is the raise their just the additional synergies or has anything else changed on? Kind of the outlook on the pace of an Industry Recovery or or somni groups growth against that industry? Thank you.
Scott Thompson: Great question. Some of it is synergies and success that we've achieved in synergies, plus what we see going into the funnel from a synergy standpoint, primarily in the area of logistics-

On top of that, what we have is share gains in all of our geos. So internationally growing high single, and in North America, call it that mid-single. And that would get you, let's call it in and around $7.9 billion. When you go forward from a gross profit standpoint, well, let's talk about the stub period. So the stub period, you're correct, is about one month shy relative to prior year, and call that in and around, call it $280 million or so net.
Sure Let me, let me give it a try and then you can.
Follow up as necessary. So when I think about this fundamentally it's all based on an industry that's flat to slightly up on top of that what we have are share gains in all of our geos. So internationally growing high single.
Daniel Silverstein: Mm-hmm.
Daniel Silverstein: Mm-hmm.
Scott Thompson: And advertising. The other probably big driver would be when we look at our relative competitive position, and it's a little early in the reporting quarter to have, you know, all the numbers and have the industry fully analyzed. But we think we took a major step forward from a competitiveness, and everywhere we look. I'd highlight that we're growing in all of our geos, and those are in markets that we believe had a tough, tough Q4. So again, I guess it's confidence in our competitive position, and synergies are the main drivers. I mean, and if the industry turns in 2026, which we did not embed in our guidance, our guidance range would be light.
Scott L. Thompson: And advertising. The other probably big driver would be when we look at our relative competitive position, and it's a little early in the reporting quarter to have, you know, all the numbers and have the industry fully analyzed.

I mean, and if the industry turns in 2026, which we did not embed in our guidance, our guidance range would be light.
In North America call it that mid single and that would get you, let's call it in and around $7 $9 billion. When you go forward from a gross profit standpoint.
But great, great question. Uh some of it is synergies and success uh that we've achieved in synergies plus what we see going into the funnel um from from a Synergy standpoint primarily in the area of logistics. Uh and and advertising the other probably Big Driver would be would we look at our relative competitive position and it's a little early in the reporting quarter to have, you know, all the numbers and have the industry fully analyzed. Uh, but we think we took a major step forward from a competitiveness.
<unk> talked about the stub period, so the stub period Youre correct as about one month shy relative to prior year and call that internal around call. It 280, or so million dollars net.
Look I've highlighted that we're growing in all of our GEOS and those are in markets that we believe uh had a tough, tough fourth quarter. So again I guess it's confidence in our competitive position.
Scott Thompson: When you think about from a profitability standpoint, is we're gonna continue to support those brands. We call that about $720 million of advertising to continue to support from a launch standpoint. What's embedded in there is, is very nice gross profit improvement, let's call it about 100 basis points, on a year-over-year perspective. And the principal drivers of that is a couple of things. One is productivity through the plants, and on top of that would be the synergies that we've identified. And as noted in the prepared material, we've taken that number up about 25 basis points, sorry, $25 million on a year-over-year basis. There is a bit of a headwind, associated with, let's call it, commodities, that would offset from a gross profit standpoint.

When you think about from a profitability standpoint is we're going to continue to support those brands, we called out about $720 million of advertising to continue to support from a launch standpoint, what's embedded in there is is very nice gross profit improvement, let's call. It about 100 basis points.
Synergies, you know, the main, or the main drivers? And I mean, and if the, if the industry turns, uh, in 26, which we did not, uh, embed in our our guidance, uh,
our guidance range range would be like,
On a year over year perspective, and the principal drivers of that is couple of things one is productivity through the plants.
Scott Thompson: You know, to wrap around the perspective of $515, what we're excited about is the ability to take it up in light of an industry in 2025 that did not achieve what we thought it would be when the original $485 was put out there. So we did have some wins, as Scott said, competitive positioning, revenue synergies, cost synergies, et cetera, that allowed us to take the number to $515. And then at the conference in New York, here in a few weeks, we'll give you more detail in the build-up to that $515, I think, which will give you more confidence that that raise was appropriate.

There is a bit of a headwind associated with let's call. It commodities that would offset from a gross profit standpoint, but if you add all those pieces up big.
Scott Thompson: But if you add all those pieces up, I think fundamentally, the foundation being industry market share gains, and margin expansion, it gets you to in and around the midpoint. Operator, next question?
Scott Thompson: But if you add all those pieces up, I think fundamentally, the foundation being industry market share gains, and margin expansion, it gets you to in and around the midpoint. Operator, next question?
Fundamentally the foundation being industry market share gains and margin expansion. It gets you to in and around the midpoint.
To wrap around the the perspective of 515, what we're excited about is the ability to take it up in light of an industry. In 2025 that did not, uh, uh, achieve what we thought it would be when the original 485 was put out there. So we did have some winds that Scott said, competitive positioning Revenue, synergies cost, synergies, Etc. That allowed us to take the number to 515 and then at at the conference in New York. Uh here in a few weeks, we we'll give you more detail in the build-up uh to to that 515 to to I think we will give you more confidence. Um that that raise was appropriate.

Victoria Piskaroff: Hi, you have Victoria Piskaroff on for Wade Jedd Rossitch. Thanks for taking our question. I was wondering if you could talk a little bit more about the elasticity of demand and, how did price increases impact your volume?
Victoria Piskaroff: Hi, you have Victoria Piskaroff on for Wade Jedd Rossitch. Thanks for taking our question. I was wondering if you could talk a little bit more about the elasticity of demand and, how did price increases impact your volume?
Hi, you have to try to Pittsburgh offer we've got research. Thanks.
Peter Keith: Hi, thanks. Good morning, everyone, and congrats to Aubrey and to Lauren. I wanted to just ask about the lack of product launches in the first half. With the gross margin guide of 100 basis points, could we see a little bit of excess gross margin expansion in the first half with no product launches and then the opposite of that in the second half? And then, Scott, also, product launches usually are a big sales driver, so you're anticipating gaining market share, Tempur North America. I guess, can you walk us through the rationale on that? Because product launches usually are a nice sales accelerant.

Your question.
Wondering if you could talk a little bit more about the lawsuit elasticity of demand and how did price increases the impact of volume.
Okay.
Scott Thompson: Yeah. You know, we took quite a bit of price over the last couple of years, and I can't really see any significant impact from a volume standpoint. This is an industry that has always been very efficient in passing actual cost commodity cost increases through the channel, and it looks like it's could continue to do that.

Could we see a little bit of excess gross margin expansion in the first half with no product launches, and then, then the opposite of that, and the, in the second half,
Yes, yes.
We took quite a bit of price over the last couple of years.
And I can't really see any significant impact from a volume standpoint.
and then Scott also um product launches usually are a big sales driver so you're you're anticipating gaining market, share temper, North America
This is an industry that has always been very efficient in passing actual cost commodity cost increases through the channel.
I guess, can you walk us through the the rationale on that? Because product launches, usually are a nice sales accelerator.
Scott Thompson: Yeah, a lot, lot in that question, and I'll start with it, and Bhaskar, you can, you can clean me up. You know, when we do a product launch, yeah, you do get more sales, but those sales are obviously much lower profit margin, closer to break even, so it's kind of a mixed bag. If you look what's in the marketplace, we've got great products in the marketplace. Sealy Posturepedic launch, the Tempur stuff. We do have a small launch later in the year, Stearns & Foster. But from a competitive standpoint, we feel very good about our launches. So I think we're well positioned to continue to take share of what we've got in the market, backed with advertising. You wanna talk to the gross margin?

Daniel Silverstein: Thank you, and good morning. Appreciate you taking our question. Maybe just to build on Bobby's question, if we kind of expand that out to the 2028 target, is the raise there just the additional synergies, or has anything else changed on kind of the outlook on the pace of an industry recovery or Somnigroup's growth against that industry? Thank you.

Is the raise there just the additional synergies or has anything else changed on kind of the outlook on the pace of an industry recovery or some knee group's growth against that industry. Thank you.
Yeah, a lot a lot in that question and I'll start with it in Bhaskar. And you can, you can clean me up, you know, we do a product launch. Yeah, you do get more sales but those sales are already started, much lower profit margin close to closer more than 4 Break Even, uh, so it's kind of a mixed bag. If, if you look what's in the marketplace, but we've got great products in the marketplace, uh, and see. Postropaky.
You bet.
Scott Thompson: Great, great question. Some of it is synergies and success that we've achieved in synergies, plus what we see going into the funnel, from, from a synergy standpoint, primarily in the area of logistics.
Scott Thompson: Great, great question. Some of it is synergies and success that we've achieved in synergies, plus what we see going into the funnel, from, from a synergy standpoint, primarily in the area of logistics.
Great question some of it is synergies and success.
Bhaskar Rao: Absolutely, Peter, good question. So when I think about the full year, if I were to step back, on the sales and let's call it the EBIT or the fall-through line, it is effectively a push, but there is some first half, back half phasing. So think about it as a, as a sales headwind in the first half, call it about $20 million or so, and effectively reversing in the back half. And from a margin standpoint, you are correct, there is the if you look at it in isolation, the gross profit will be impacted more so in the first half of the year versus the back half of the year. However, we are also, again, as we announced the synergy opportunity and the productivity is that as the year progresses, those things will progress as well.

But fundamentally when you look at the full 4 models in and of itself, yes, first half back half impact net full year basically. Nothing
Bhaskar Rao: But fundamentally, when you look at the full floor models in and of itself, yes, first half, back half impact. Net full year, basically nothing.

Brad Thomas: Hi, good morning. Thank you for taking the question. The question is about the changes at Mattress Firm from a consumer and an operational perspective. Scott, it does feel, seem like even with same store sales having slowed a bit in the Q4, that that's more a function of the industry and that Mattress Firm is still really outperforming. But I was hoping you could just comment a little bit on, you know, how you measure that the new lineup is resonating with the consumer, and then how we should think about kind of the pace of change that we're putting in place. And then maybe just finally, any more details you could share on the timing of Purple, Kingsdown, some of the other changes that you're doing here this year. Thank you.

Achieved what we thought it would be when the original 480 <unk> was put out there. So we did have some wins as Scott said competitive positioning revenue synergies cost synergies et cetera that allowed us to take the number to 515 and then at the conference in New York here in a few weeks.
Hi, good morning thank you for taking the question. Um the question is about the changes that Mattress Firm from a consumer and an operational perspective.

We'll give you more detail in the buildup.
To that $5 15.
Do I think we'll give you more confidence.
Scott Thompson: Sure. So I mean, to summarize the question, Scott, can you tell me everything you know about Mattress Firm? Just kidding. Look, from everything we see, Mattress Firm continues to take share, both in Q4 and start of Q1. So I would say that's evidence of resonating with customers. As far as performance, you're seeing share growth, and we'll call it the family brands, the Tempur Sealy brands, particularly Tempur. You're seeing growth in Kingsdown, which is doing a great job for us. And you're seeing growth in Purple, and there's a test going on in Kingsdown, considering expanding it, and then the new Purple high-end bed will be hitting the floor at Mattress Firm, I think, late Q1.

And then Scott also product launches usually are a big sales driver, so youre anticipating gaining our market share Tempur North America.
I guess can you walk us through the rationale on that because product launches usually are a nice sales accelerate.
Scott Thompson: Yeah, a lot, a lot in that question, and I'll start with it, and Bhaskar, you can, you can clean me up. You know, when you do a product launch, yeah, you do get more sales... but those sales are obviously much lower profit margin, closer to breakeven. So it's kind of a mixed bag. If you look what's in the marketplace, we've got great products in the marketplace. Sealy Posturepedic launched the Tempur stuff. We do have a small launch later in the year, Stearns & Foster. But from a competitive standpoint, we feel very good about our launches. So I think we're well positioned to continue to take share of what we've got in the market, backed with advertising. You wanna talk to the gross margin?

Yeah, a lot in that question and I'll start with Boston Clean me up when you do a product launch yes, you do get more sales, but those sales are obviously much lower profit margin closely closer more than breakeven.
Scott Thompson: You know, we get a lot of feedback from our RSAs, and I think the merchandising changes have been well received, both in store and with consumers. And Nectar is doing well. Brad, I forgot to mention Nectar has been doing well on the floor. So, you know, overall, I couldn't be happier with our merchandising changes, both the way they've been executed, the pace they've been executed, and how the market has received them.

Brands particularly, uh temporary you're seeing growth in King's down uh which is doing a great job uh for us and you're seeing growth in in purple and there's uh some there's a test going on in Kingstown, uh, considering expanding it. And then the new purple uh, high in bed will be hitting the floor at mattress room. I think late late for first quarter, uh, you know, we get a lot of feedback from our RSA and I think we the merchandising changes have been well received both in store uh and with consumers
<unk> launched a temporary step we do have a small launch later in the year Stearns <unk> Foster.
But from a competitive standpoint, we feel very good about our the launches. So I think we're well positioned to continue to take share and what we've got in the market back with average advertising.
And all we should and we and nectar's doing well for, I forgot to mention nectar has been, uh, has been doing well on the floor. So, you know, overall I I couldn't be happier with our our merchandising changes both the the way they've been executed. The pace they've been executed and and how the market uh that has received
You want to take the gross margin Peter Good question. So when I think about the full year, if I were to step back on the sales and let's call. It the EBIT or the fall through line. It is effectively a bush, but there is some first half back half phasing so think about it as a as a sales headwind in the first half call it about $20 million or so and effectively.

If you look at it in isolation, the gross profit will be impacted more so in the first half of the year versus the back half of the year. However, we are also, again, as we announced the synergy opportunity and the productivity is that as the year progresses, those things will progress as well.
Bhaskar Rao: Absolutely, Peter, good question. So when I think about the full year, if I were to step back, on the sales and let's call it the EBIT or the fall-through line, it is effectively a push, but there is some first half, back half phasing.

Jeff Lick: Good morning. Thanks for taking my question. Aubrey and Lauren, congrats on the new roles, and, Scott, nice to reconnect with you. It's been a long time. Question is, Scott, I was wondering, you know, now that you've had Mattress Firm, you know, pretty much for an entire year, you know, you had mentioned on your prepared remarks about, some marketing step up from some of your partners. Just curious, you know, how you're seeing, you know, I know this is a little sensitive, but just owning Mattress Firm, the, you know, the competitive dynamics or the strategic dynamics, any thoughts there on how that, kind of meshes with your original expectations when you bought it?

Reversing in the back half and from a margin standpoint, you are correct. There is the if you look at it in isolation that gross profit will be impacted more so in the first half of the year versus the back half of the year. However.
We are also again as we announced at the synergy opportunity and our productivity is is that that as the year progresses as those things will progress as well, but fundamentally when you look at the pro forma model in and of itself, yes, first half back half impact net full year basically nothing.
Bhaskar Rao: But fundamentally, when you look at the full floor models in and of itself, yes, first half, back half impact. Net full year, basically nothing.

Uh, good morning. Thanks for taking my question, Aubrey and Lauren congrats on the new roles and Scott nice to reconnect with you. It's been a long time. Um, question has got, I was wondering, you know, now that you've had Mattress Firm, you know, pretty much for an entire year. You know, you had mentioned on your prep remarks about some marketing step up from some of your partners just curious. You know how you're seeing, um, you know, I know this is a little sensitive, but just owning Mattress Firm that, you know, the competitive Dynamics or the Strategic Dynamics, any, any thoughts there on how that, uh, kind of meshes with your original expectations, when you bought it,
Yeah, um, I've got a couple of things, great question and, and good to hear from you.
Scott Thompson: Yeah, I've got a couple of things. Great question, and good to hear from you. I guess starting with the advertising, you know, we completely changed the advertising message and the approach. It's built in a way that there's a Mattress Firm message, and then you can kind of plug in a brand and product into the ad and get a one-two punch. Obviously, we're doing that with the family brands, the Tempur, Sealy, Stearns, and Foster, but we're also doing it with other brands, well, third-party brands. That's been effective. In fact, it's been so effective that other manufacturers are giving us incremental support, incremental outside of, we'll call it, normal support, to take some positions in those ads.

Thank you. Our next question is from Brad Thomas from Keybanc Capital markets. Your line is now open.
Brad Thomas: Hi, good morning. Thank you for taking the question. The question is about the changes at Mattress Firm from a consumer and an operational perspective. Scott, it does seem like even with same-store sales having slowed a bit in Q4, that that's more a function of the industry and that Mattress Firm is still really outperforming. But I was hoping you could just comment a little bit on, you know, how you measure that the new lineup is resonating with the consumer, and then how we should think about kind of the pace of change that we're putting in place. And then maybe just finally, any more details you could share on the timing of Purple, Kingsdown, some of the other changes that you're doing here this year. Thank you.

Hi, Good morning, Thank you for taking the question.
<unk> is about the changes at mattress firm from a consumer and an operational perspective, Scott. It does feel seem like even with same store sales, having slowed a bit in the fourth quarter that thats more a function of the industry in that mattress firm is still really outperforming but I was hoping you could just comment a little bit on how you measure that.
Um, I guess starting starting with the advertising. Uh, you know, we completely changed the, the advertising message and the approach, um, it's kind of it's built in in a way that, uh, there's a mattress for a message and then you can kind of plug in a brand and product, uh, into into the ad, uh, and get a, you know, a 1 2 punch. Obviously, we're doing that with the family Brands. The tempered celery, STS and Foster. But we're also doing it with with other brands.
New lineup is resonating with the consumer and then how we should think about kind of the pace of change that we're putting in place and then maybe just finally any more details you can share on the timing of purple kings down some of the other changes that youre doing here. This year. Thank you.
Um, about third-party Brands and, uh, that's been effective. In fact, it's been, uh, so effective that, uh, other manufacturers are giving us, uh, incremental support incremental, outside of, we'll call it normal support, uh, to take some positions in Those ads because there's
Scott Thompson: Sure. So, I mean, to summarize the question, Scott, can you tell me everything you know about Mattress Firm? Just kidding. Look, from everything we see, Mattress Firm continues to take share, both in Q4 and start of Q1. So I would say that's evidence of resonating with customers. As far as performance, you're seeing share growth, and we'll call it the family brands, the Tempur Sealy brands, particularly Tempur, you're seeing growth in Kingsdown, which is doing a great job for us, and you're seeing growth in Purple, and there's a test going on in Kingsdown, considering expanding it, and then the new Purple high-end bed will be hitting the floor at Mattress Firm, I think, late Q1.

Sure. So I mean to summarize the question Scott can you tell me everything you know about mattress firm.
Scott Thompson: Because they're seeing when they do, it drives traffic not only on the Mattress Firm floor, but it also drives their brand at other third-party retailers. So it's become a very effective way for them to get to market. And so couldn't be happier with the way that program has worked, and I think the third-party manufacturers who participated in it are happy with that too. As it relates to, I'll call it, channel dynamics or those kind of things, we have a term called other other, because it's a short way to say, how are the other retailers doing in the US that are not Mattress Firm, and how are the sales of Tempur Sealy products? We call it other other. If you look at other other, our other other...

Just kidding look from everything we see.
Mattress firm continues to take share.
Both in the fourth quarter and started the first quarter.
So I would say thats evidence of resonating with customers.
Far as performance Youre seeing share growth and we will call. It the family brands to Tempur Sealy brands, particularly temporary youre seeing growth in kings down.
<unk>, which is doing a great job for us.
And you're seeing growth in purple and Theres, some theres a test going on in Kings down.
Considering expanding it and then new purple.
Scott Thompson: sales. We think that they are outperforming the general market, so we think we're taking share in the other area too. And so I'm not seeing any significant channel conflict. I think everybody understands that the advertising we're doing is helping drive product, not just at our retail stores, but throughout the industry, and it's on good support. It's probably gone better than I probably initially thought. Wasn't too worried about it, but you got to work through it. So no, I think, I think the Mattress Firm acquisition, you know, if you take the price, you take the performance, you take the synergies that have been realized, I think, we would say that it's, it's been very good, from our standpoint.

Seeing when they do it, it drives traffic.

Hi in bed will be hitting the floor at mattress firm I think late late first quarter.
Scott Thompson: You know, we get a lot of feedback from our RSAs, and I, I think with the merchandising changes have been well received, both in store and with consumers. And also, Nectar is doing well. Forgot to mention Nectar, has been doing well on the floor. So, you know, overall, I, I couldn't be happier with our, our merchandising changes, both the, the way they've been executed, the pace they've been executed, and how the market has received them.

Questions. Scott I was wondering now that you've had mattress firm.
Bobby Griffin: Hey, guys. Thanks for letting me back in the queue. Scott, I just, you know, we spent a lot of time on North America, but honestly, international just continues to be a bright spot there with robust kind of constant currency growth on top of a really good quarter last year. I understand you guys did a lot of work on the product portfolio, but help us understand, like, how much is new door growth versus how much is throughput or slot velocity? And then when we think about the opportunity international, like, do you still see a robust amount of new door potential, or is it more just continuing the velocity? Just help us think about the sustainability of what is turning into a nice bright spot in the story.

Pretty much for an entire year you had mentioned on your prepared remarks about some marketing step up from some of your partners just curious.
Youre seeing.
So a little sensitive, but just honing mattress firm that the competitive dynamics of the strategic dynamics or any thoughts there on how that.
Meshes with your original expectations when you bought it.
Scott Thompson: Yeah, a couple things. Great question, and good to hear from you. I guess starting with the advertising, you know, we completely changed the advertising message and the approach. It's kind of built in a way that there's a Mattress Firm message, and then you can kind of plug in a brand and product into the ad and get a one-two punch. Obviously, we're doing that with the family brands, the Tempur, Sealy, Stearns & Foster, but we're also doing it with other brands, well, third-party brands. And that's been effective. In fact, it's been so effective that other manufacturers are giving us incremental support, incremental outside of, we'll call it, normal support, to take some positions in those ads.

Yes, I've got a couple of things great question and good to hear from you.
How much is throughput or slot velocity? And then when we think about the opportunity International like do you still see a robust amount of new door potential? Or is it more discontinuing the velocity just help us? Think about the sustainability of of what is turning into a nice bright spot in the story?
I guess, starting with starting with the advertising.
We completely changed the advertising message and the approach.
Scott Thompson: Yeah, I mean, great call out. International has been growing for a couple of years, very strong, again, in not a great market, which is particularly impressive. As you know, from an international standpoint, we don't have a large balance of share internationally, so it is a long-term growth trajectory that we feel very, very bullish on. Bhaskar, do you know the split between new distribution and velocity? Because we're getting both internationally.
Scott L. Thompson: Yeah, I mean, great call out. International has been growing for a couple of years, very strong, again, in not a great market, which is particularly impressive.

Bhaskar, do you know the split between new distribution and velocity? Because we're getting both internationally.
It's kind of it's built in a way that theres a mattress firm message.
And then you can kind of plug in brand and product.
Into the AD and get a one two punch obviously, we're doing that with the family brands. The temporary Sealy Stearns <unk> Foster, but we're also doing it with other brands.
While third party brands and that's been effective in fact, it's been so effective that.
Other manufacturers are giving us incremental support incremental outside of we'll call it normal support.
Bhaskar Rao: Absolutely. So when you think about the growth over the last couple of years, it's been principally it's existing distribution. And what existing distribution looks like is perhaps a few more slots in stores that we're in, but really improving the velocity per slot on where we're at. And really what that does is that we have to prove, we have to prove ourselves in the international market. As Scott said, we have relatively low share relative to the US. Also a very difficult execution. The borders, they're not states, they're countries, so it is a it's a tougher slug. So the key there is making sure you have the right product, advertise ahead of that to educate the retailers and the consumers. Therefore, you get the incremental slots within the store, prove yourself in those stores, and then get into new distribution.

To take some positions in those ads because they are seeing when they do it drives traffic not only on the mattress firm floor, but it also drives their brand in other third party retailers. So it's become a very it's a very effective way for them to get to market.
Scott Thompson: Because they're seeing when they do, it drives traffic not only on the Mattress Firm floor, but it also drives their brand at other third-party retailers. So it's become a very effective way for them to get to market. And so couldn't be happier with the way that program has worked, and I think the third-party manufacturers who participated in it are happy with that, too. As it relates to, I'll call it, channel dynamics or those kind of things, we have a term called other, other, because it's a short way to say, how are the other retailers doing in the US that are not Mattress Firm, and how are the sales of Tempur Sealy products? We call it other, other.

Yeah, I mean great call out uh International has been growing for a couple of years, very strong again, and not a great Market which is is particularly impressive. As as, you know, from an international standpoint, we don't have a large balance to share internationally. So it is a long-term growth trajectory that we we very, very bullish on, uh, Bosa. Do you know that the split between new distribution and velocity because we're getting both, uh, internationally. Absolutely. So, when you think about the growth over the last couple of years, it's been principally at, uh, its existing distribution and what existing distribution looks like is perhaps a few more slots and, and, and stores that we're in. But really improving the velocity per slot on where we're at. And really, what that does is that we have to prove, we have to prove ourselves in the international market. As Scott said, we have relatively low share relative to the US. Also, a very difficult execution, the borders. Uh, they're
So couldnt be happier with the way that program has worked.
Inc.
I think third party manufacturers, who participated in it.
Are happy with that too.
As it relates to I'll call. It channel dynamics or are those kind of things we have a term called other other.
We put as the short way to say how are the other retailers doing in the U S that are not mattress firm and how are the sales of Tempur Sealy products. We've got other other and if you look at other other.
Bhaskar Rao: So when I think about the next leg of growth internationally, continue to do what we're doing, but also expand the distribution outside of our historic footprint.
Bhaskar Rao: So when I think about the next leg of growth internationally, continue to do what we're doing, but also expand the distribution outside of our historic footprint.
States their country. So it is a it's a it's a tougher slug. So the key there is making sure you have the right product advertised ahead of that to educate the retailers and the consumers, therefore you get the incremental slots within the store, prove yourself in those stores and then get into new distribution. So when I think about the next leg of growth internationally continue to do what we're doing but also expand the distribution outside of our historic footprint.
Scott Thompson: And if you look at other sales, we think that they are outperforming the general market. So we think we're taking share in the other area too. And so I'm not seeing any significant channel conflict. I think everybody understands that the advertising we're doing is helping drive product, not just at our retail stores, but throughout the industry, and found good support. It's probably gone better than I probably initially thought. Wasn't too worried about it, but you gotta work through it.

Thank you. Our next question is from Bobby Griffin from Raymond James Your line is now open.
Bobby Griffin: Hey, guys. Thanks for letting me back in the queue. Scott, I just, you know, we spent a lot of time on North America, but honestly, international just continues to be a bright spot there with robust kind of constant currency growth on top of a really good quarter last year. I understand you guys did a lot of work on the product portfolio, but help us understand, like, how much is new door growth versus how much is throughput or slot velocity? And then when we think about the opportunity international, like, do you still see a robust amount of new door potential, or is it more just continuing the velocity? Just help us think about the sustainability of what is turning into a nice bright spot in the story.

Scott I just spent a lot of time in North America, but honestly international because it continues to be a bright spot there with robust kind of constant currency growth on top of a really good quarter last year I understand you guys did a lot of work on the product portfolio, but help us understand like how much is new door growth versus how much is throughput our slot velocity and then when we think about.
<unk> opportunity internationally do you still see a robust amount of new door potential or is it more just continuing the velocity just help us think about the sustainability of what is turning into a nice bright spot in the story.
Scott Thompson: Yeah, I mean, great call out. International has been growing for a couple of years, very strong, again, in not a great market, which is particularly impressive. As you know, from an international standpoint, we don't have a large balance of share internationally, so it is a long-term growth trajectory that we are very, very bullish on. Oscar, do you know the split between new distribution and velocity? Because we're getting both internationally.

Yes.
<unk> call out.
International has been growing for a couple of years very strong again and not a great market, which is particularly impressive as you know from an international standpoint, we don't have a large balance of share internationally. So it is a long term growth trajectory that we are very very <unk>.
Bullish on.
Bob could you know the split between new distribution and velocity because we're getting both.
Bhaskar Rao: Absolutely. So when you think about the growth over the last couple of years, it's been principally at the existing distribution. And what existing distribution looks like is perhaps a few more slots in stores that we're in, but really improving the velocity per slot on where we're at. And really what that does is that we have to prove, we have to prove ourselves in the international market. As Scott said, we have relatively low share relative to the US. Also a very difficult execution. The borders, they're not states, they're countries, so it is a tougher slug. So the key there is making sure you have the right product, advertise ahead of that to educate the retailers and the consumers; therefore, you get the incremental slots within store, prove yourself in those stores, and then get into new distribution.

Also a very dip.

Tougher slug. So the key there is making sure you have the right product advertise ahead of that to educate the retailers and the consumers. Therefore, you get the incremental slots within store prove yourself in those stores and then get into new distribution. So when I think about the next leg of growth internationally continue to do what we're doing but also expand the distribution outside.
Bhaskar Rao: So when I think about the next leg of growth internationally, continue to do what we're doing, but also expand the distribution outside of our historic footprint.
