Company Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson commented, “During the quarter, the overall North America operating environment deteriorated, driven by various macroeconomic pressures. We believe the overall U.S. mattress business, our largest market, had its toughest volume decline in 15 years, with industry units down 20 percent to 25 percent compared to last year’s record second quarter volumes. We have adjusted our hiring expectations and near-term capacity investments, and we also implemented a price increase in the U.S. in late June to neutralize the dollar impact of commodity inflation. This environment gave us an opportunity to demonstrate the resilience of our business model, as we generated profits, invested in our business, returned capital to shareholders and outperformed the global bedding market. The team remains focused on delivering on our initiatives to drive continued success.”

North America adjusted gross margin(1) declined 330 basis points as compared to gross margin in the second quarter of 2021. The decline was driven by operational investments to service our customers and pricing benefit to sales with no improvement to gross profit. These declines were partially offset by favorable brand mix. North America adjusted operating margin(1) declined 490 basis points as compared to operating margin in the second quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily driven by the decline in gross margin and Stearns & Foster® advertising investments ahead of the expected fourth quarter product launch.

International net sales increased 58.6% to $246.3 million as compared to $155.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. On a constant currency basis(1), International net sales increased 68.2% as compared to the second quarter of 2021. Gross margin was 53.1% as compared to 59.8% in the second quarter of 2021.

Prior to the Dreams acquisition in August 2021, net sales to Dreams were included in the wholesale channel. Following the acquisition, net sales for Dreams are included in the direct channel.

International gross margin declined 670 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily driven by the acquisition of Dreams, unfavorable mix and pricing benefit to sales with no improvement to gross profit. Dreams’ margin profile is lower than our historical International margins as they sell a variety of products across a range of price points. International operating margin declined 1340 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2021. The decline was primarily driven by the decline in gross margin, Asia joint venture performance due to COVID-19 related shutdowns and operating expense deleverage.

Consolidated net income decreased to $90.6 million as compared to $140.8 million in the second quarter of 2021.
