LEXINGTON, Ky., May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Tempur Sealy International, Inc. (NYSE: TPX, “Tempur Sealy” or the “Company”) today provided an update on its targeted second quarter sales performance. Quarter-to-date orders have accelerated since the Company’s first quarter earnings call, and it now targets total second quarter net sales growth of approximately 60% as compared to the second quarter of 2019. The second quarter of 2019 was unaffected by COVID-19-related shutdowns at retail and provides a more meaningful comparison than the second quarter of 2020. The improved outlook has been driven by growth in demand for Tempur-Pedic products in the U.S., which are higher margin than the Company’s average. The Company expects to update full year sales and EPS guidance when it reports second quarter 2021 financial results.
Additionally, the Company noted that while the availability of chemical and foam supplies in the U.S. has improved in-line with previously communicated expectations, demand for bedding products has accelerated further, resulting in growth in the Company’s backlog during the second quarter.
Tempur Sealy International, Inc. Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson commented, “Consumer demand for our global brands and products is very strong and broad-based. This improved demand outlook is likely to result in some supply constraints and plant inefficiencies into the third quarter. In order to mitigate what we believe are industry-wide constraints and reduce complexity for retailers during this period, we have elected to delay a portion of our new Sealy U.S. product launch to allow our operations to focus on producing current products to meet this elevated demand. This is in an effort to simplify inventory management for retailers, at a time when the industry is having difficulty meeting robust customer demand. We believe this will result in higher-quality customer experiences and shorter order-to-deliver times.”
Additionally, The Company announced in a separate press release today an agreement to acquire Dreams, the leading specialty bed retailer in the United Kingdom. Once closed, the transaction will accelerate the Company’s growth in the largest European bedding market and the sixth largest economy in the world.

Recticel Comments
Greiner’s unsolicited offer substantially undervalues Recticel
Occasional information, Brussels, 25/05/2021 — 07:00 CET, 25.05.2021
After careful consideration, the Board of Directors of Recticel SA/NV is of the view that the unsolicited conditional voluntary takeover bid from Greiner AG on Recticel for EUR 13.50 per share does not address the position and legitimate interests of all stakeholders and substantially undervalues the company.
Recticel invited Greiner AG to clarify their bid during a meeting with the Chairman and the CEO of Recticel on 24 May 2021. This meeting only further confirmed this view.
Recticel will actively review its strategic alternatives, including its stand-alone strategy, and will evaluate these alternatives taking into account the interest of all stakeholders, including shareholders.
Recticel will keep its shareholders and all other stakeholders informed of all significant developments, and will issue additional statements if and when appropriate.
