Company Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson commented, "We are pleased with our performance in the third quarter. Our global market outperformance, led by double-digit growth in our international segment, resulted in consolidated sales growth year-over-year despite the global bedding industry continuing to perform significantly below historical trends. Sales growth coupled with our operational efficiency initiatives and diverse business platform resulted in solid growth in both adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS. We continue to see our investments in product, people, and advertising as foundational to our long-term success."

Financial Guidance

For the full year 2024, the Company narrowed its expectations for an adjusted EPS⁽¹⁾ range of $2.45 to $2.55, which represents a 4% increase in adjusted EPS⁽¹⁾ from the prior year at the midpoint. This contemplates the Company's current outlook that 2024 sales will be slightly below the prior year.

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. 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 2024.

Dividend Declared

The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share, payable on December 5, 2024, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 21, 2024.
