Business Segment Highlights

The Company’s business segments include North America and International. Corporate operating expenses are not included in either of the business segments and are presented separately as a reconciling item to consolidated results.

North America net sales decreased  to $485.0 million from $582.3 million in the first quarter of 2017, driven primarily by the Mattress Firm termination. On a constant currency basis(1), North America net sales decreased 17.1% compared to the first quarter of 2017. GAAP gross margin was 37.9% as compared to 36.8% in the first quarter of 2017. GAAP operating margin was 11.1% as compared to 8.8% in the first quarter of 2017.

At the beginning of the second quarter of 2017, the Company terminated its contracts with Mattress Firm, a wholly owned subsidiary of Steinhoff International Holdings N.V. In the first quarter of 2017, net sales to Mattress Firm were $94.5 million. Excluding Mattress Firm sales in the prior year, North America net sales were flat in the first quarter of 2018.

North America net sales through the wholesale channel decreased to $454.0 million. North America net sales through the direct channel increased $6.9 million, or 28.6%, to $31.0 million, primarily driven by growth from expanded retail stores and increased web sales, as compared to the first quarter of 2017.

North America gross margin declined 90 basis points as compared to adjusted gross margin(1) for the first quarter of 2017. The decline was driven primarily by commodity cost inflation, fixed cost deleverage on lower unit volume and unfavorable brand mix. These were partially offset by improved channel mix, operational improvements and favorable product mix. North America operating margin declined 330 basis points as compared to adjusted operating margin(1) for the first quarter of 2017. The decline in adjusted operating margin was driven by operating expense deleverage and the decline in gross margin. The Company implemented a price increase in March 2018 to partially offset the expected commodity inflation.

International net sales increased 16.6% to $163.0 million from $139.8 million in the first quarter of 2017. On a constant currency basis(1), International net sales increased 8.2% compared to the first quarter of 2017. Gross margin was 51.5% as compared to 51.6% in the first quarter of 2017. Operating margin was 16.5% as compared to 18.5% in the first quarter of 2017.

International net sales through the wholesale channel increased $20.1 million or 17.6% to $134.2 million and sales through the direct channel increased $3.1 million or 12.1% to $28.8 million as compared to the first quarter of 2017.

International gross margin declined 10 basis points as compared to adjusted gross margin(1) for the first quarter of 2017. International operating margin declined 260 basis points as compared to adjusted operating margin(1) for the first quarter of 2017, primarily driven by unfavorable operating expense leverage from significant investments in advertising, as well as the change in classification of royalty income due to the adoption of new revenue recognition guidance.
