ZZ- Sealy Corporation Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2012 Results

--1st Quarter Results from Continuing Operations--
--Net Sales Growth of 2.2% to $312.3 Million--
--Income from Operations Growth of 31.7% to $25.9 Million--
--Adjusted EBITDA Growth of 21.2% to $36.4 Million--


TRINITY, N.C., March 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sealy Corporation (NYSE: ZZ - News), a leading global bedding manufacturer, today announced results for its first quarter of fiscal 2012.

Fiscal 2012 1st Quarter Recap for Continuing Operations

Net sales increased by $6.8 million to $312.3 million, a 2.2% increase compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Gross profit increased by $3.9 million to $122.4 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Gross Margin increased 40 basis points to 39.2%
Income from operations increased by $6.2 million to $25.9 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Prior year results included $3.7 million of higher product launch and advertising costs, which were associated with the launch of the 2011 Next Generation Posturepedic line.
Net income from continuing operations was $1.6 million or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to net income from continuing operations of $0.1 million or $0.00 per diluted share in the prior year quarter. The corresponding share counts for 2012 and 2011 first quarter earnings per share were 109.3 million and 107.8 million, respectively. For further information on the calculation of diluted shares, please see the attached Reconciliation of Fully Diluted Sharecount schedule.
Adjusted EBITDA increased by 21.2% or $6.4 million to $36.4 million compared to the prior year quarter.


"We delivered positive financial and operational performance in the first quarter of 2012," stated Larry Rogers, Sealy's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our positive sales, gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA performance for the quarter were driven by the success of our Next Generation Stearns & Foster line, which began shipping in Q4, 2011."

Fiscal 2012 First Quarter Results

Total U.S. net sales increased 0.7% to $240.3 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Excluding third party sales from the component plants, wholesale average unit selling price increased by 4.3%, while wholesale unit volume decreased 4.0%. The increase in average unit selling price was driven by the performance of the newly introduced Next Generation Stearns & Foster product line. The decrease in unit volume is attributable to lower sales volumes in the middle and lower price points, partially offset by growth from the Next Generation Stearns & Foster product line.

International net sales increased $5.2 million, or 7.7%, from the first quarter of fiscal 2011 to $71.9 million. This increase was primarily due to increased sales in Canada coupled with stronger sales performance in the Mexico and Argentina markets. In Canada, local currency sales increases of 10.2% translated into increases of 8.2% in U.S. dollars due to a weaker Canadian dollar. Local currency sales performance in Canada was driven by a 15.5% increase in unit volume, offset by a 4.6% decrease in average unit selling price. The increase in unit volume and decrease in average unit selling price was attributable to strategic promotional events to drive increases in unit volumes and market share.

Gross profit for the first fiscal quarter increased by $3.9 million to $122.4 million from the prior year quarter. Gross margin increased 0.4 percentage points to 39.2%.

The increase in percentage of net sales was primarily due to an increase in gross profit margin in U.S. operations which was partially offset by decreases in gross profit margins in Canada and other international operations. U.S. gross profit margin increased 0.8 percentage points to 38.7%. The increase in gross profit margin was due primarily to relatively better pricing and a shift in the mix of product sales to higher priced Next Generation Stearns & Foster products which resulted in an improvement in gross profit margin of approximately 1.6 percentage points. Also contributing to the improvement in gross profit margin were advances made in manufacturing processes including value engineering efforts which resulted in a 1.0 percentage point increase in U.S. gross profit margin. These gains were partially offset by higher material costs related to increased commodity prices, which resulted in a 1.5 percentage point decrease in U.S. gross profit margin.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $100.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a decrease of $3.6 million versus the comparable period a year earlier. As a percentage of net sales, this expense was 32.1% and 34.0% for the quarters ended February 26, 2012 and February 27, 2011, respectively. The decrease as a percentage of net sales was principally due to reductions in product launch and national advertising expenses relative to those experienced in the prior year period for the introduction of the Next Generation Posturepedic line.

Income from operations for the first quarter increased 31.7% or $6.2 million to $25.9 million. Prior year results included $3.7 million of higher product launch and advertising costs, which were associated with the launch of the 2011 Next Generation Posturepedic line.

Net income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was $0.01 per diluted share.

As of February 26, 2012, the Company's debt net of cash was $682.7 million and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio (excluding the Convertible Payment In Kind Notes) was 3.76x, compared to 3.95x at November 27, 2011. During the quarter, we redeemed $10 million of our Senior Secured Notes.

"As we look forward in 2012, we are focused on driving continued performance of the new Stearns & Foster line at retail, and initiating the rollouts of the new, value priced Sealy Promotional Line, and the premium priced Optimum by Sealy Posturepedic line. These two lines were introduced at the January 2012 Las Vegas Furniture Market and will begin shipping in the second quarter of 2012," stated Mr. Rogers. "Finally, we remain focused on driving organizational and operational improvements throughout the company in 2012," concluded Mr. Rogers.

Results from Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of 2010, the company divested the assets of its manufacturing operations in France and Italy, which represented all of the assets in its Europe segment. In addition, the company discontinued manufacturing operations in Brazil. The company has transitioned to a license arrangement with third parties in both of these markets. These businesses are accounted for as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the company has reclassified its financial data for all periods presented to reflect these actions. Unless otherwise noted, the reported financial data pertains to Sealy's continuing operations.

Non-GAAP Measures

Sealy provides information regarding Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin which are not recognized terms under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) and do not purport to be alternatives to operating income or net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA, because the covenants contained in the Company's senior debt agreements are based upon these measures and Adjusted EBITDA is a material component of those covenants. Additionally, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Company's operating performance. The Company also presents Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is Adjusted EBTIDA reflected as a percentage of net sales because it believes that this measure provides useful incremental information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance. Additionally, these measures are not intended to be measures of available cash flow for management's discretionary use, as these measures do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Because not all companies use identical calculations, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to the Company's net income is provided in the attached schedule.

Additionally, the Company provides certain information on a constant currency basis which reflects a comparison of current period results translated at the prior period currency rates. This information is provided because the Company believes that it provides useful incremental information to investors regarding the Company's operating performance.

Conference Call

what makes u think that after they reported earning they went down to 1.50 what was intresting is that they actually beat the street with there numbers...I suspect the reason this has been going up is because the overall market has gone up, I cant see the market continuing to go up with the economy the way it is...I paid 2.00 a share and rode it down to 1.50 now im in the green I hope it goes to 5.00 but be realistic about it, I would be happy with 3 a share, unless ur talking long term I dont know why this ever spiked to 5 on one really good quarter...it is beaten down froma few years ago when it was 15 a share...It could be a good long term play, but then again so could 95% of other stocks on the NYSE.....I got 900 shares I am not getting to greedy, but hey lets keep going it goes up

I got in a couple days ago around the 1.90 point - I'd like to see 2.90 but might jump out slightly before then.

I noted ZZ last night in a scan that I run. The scan looks for oversold PPO with a very low relative daily volume. I got in this morning with a small position after most of today's run had already occurred (wasn't quick enough to get in before 9:45 AM).

ZZ had a bad quarter and sold off hard earlier this month.
Basically it looks to me like a gap down that occurred around May 20 at about $2.90 is going to get filled or at least an attempt will be made. From that angle, this is more of a swing trade/position trade setup than a daytrade (although it's worked pretty well for those that got in early this am).

Shares of Sealy Corp. (ZZ, $2.34, -$1.01, -30.15%) dropped Thursday as investors began trading rights from an offering made by the manufacturer of Posturepedic mattresses. SunTrust Robinson Humphrey analyst Keith Hughes said the company's rights offering is "a very dilutive transaction" and the stock declined sharply as the offering's trade settlement date is approaching. On average, it takes about three days to settle the trade, and the rights are scheduled to be active Tuesday.

By Aja Carmichael
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Shares of Sealy Corp. (ZZ) dropped 28% Thursday as investors began trading rights from an offering made by the manufacturer of Posturepedic mattresses.

Suntrust Robinson Humphrey analyst Keith Hughes said the company's rights offering is "a very dilutive transaction" and the stock Thursday declined sharply as the offering's trade settlement date is approaching. On average, it takes about three days to settle the trade, and the rights are scheduled to be active Tuesday. Hughes added, however, investors are able to begin trading the rights under the ticker ZZ.RT as of Thursday.

A company representative wasn't immediately available to comment.

In recent trading, shares of the company fell 28% to $2.40, erasing gains from its last two trading sessions. Earlier, shares of the company, which had a market capitalization of $275.4 million as of Wednesday, fell 36% to an intraday low of $2.15. The stock, however, has risen 101% in the last three months as investors in March began seeing signs of the economy bottoming, which encouraged them to focus on consumer cyclical stocks such as Sealy.

Meanwhile rivals' losses were minor. Tempur-Pedic International Inc. (TPX) fell 6.1% to $10.19 and Leggett & Platt Inc. (LEG) declined 3.6% to $14.31.

"There is a big arbitrage play going on between [Sealy's stock] and the rights and this will continue on for the next month or so," Hughes said.

On Wednesday, Sealy outlined a refinancing plan intended to strengthen its capital position, boost liquidity and extend nearer-term maturities.

Under the refinancing plan, which also eliminates quarterly maintenance tests on the company's debt, Sealy will enter a new $100 million asset-based revolving credit pact maturing in 2012 and issue about $350 million in senior secured notes due 2016. The company will also issue about $177 million in senior secured notes due in 2016 that are convertible into common stock as part of a rights offering.

The rights offering will expire June 25. Every 13 rights will allow the holder to buy a convertible note for $25, and each note will initially be convertible into 25 shares of common stock.

"The new financing is good in the short term as it extends [Sealy's] debt maturity and lowers its overall debt," said Hughes. "But it [all] comes at the expense of the future share price when things improve and get good again." He added that there has been some evidence that Sealy's business has stopped getting worse but a pick-up is still at least several quarters away.

Analysts said in the last two quarters Sealy's performance has been "pretty tough." Although the company doesn't report same-store sales, analysts have estimated that the company's business has shrunk by a third in the last 18 months. The company's performance and reduction in its operations comes as consumers are adapting to living within their means, extending the turnover rate for purchasing big-ticket items, such as mattresses, on their credit card.

I did some digging, Im not going to buy this one, they have some sort of a stock deal going that the people who bought as of yesterday get an option to hold their shares for a period of time at 8% interest and at the end of that time they get a certain amount of common, so it looks like it has gotten diluted, im reading the yahoo board now, take care, tm.

I was watching it in Nov. and Dec. and it took forever to bounce,but then it went from .50 to 6.00, Im going to watch until it looks like its done dropping for sure. Im pretty sure that the technicals are awful, but I havnt checked them since last winter, it was all gloom and doom back then too.
Take care, TM.

Even with some stiff competition from others in the mattress bussiness Sealy is a good name that many people have come to trust over the years, So Wall St. does not like them much right now or the earnings are bleak, and there net income in the quarter has been droping...this has become true of all company's right now or most of them go Sealy

although with new home sales dropping and stuff less and less mattresses are being circulated, and with people cutting back still of right now they will continue to see a slow down in production and revenue decreases will follow from slower production and sales of there mattresses.
