Tempur Sealy International, Inc. Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson commented, “The strength of our brands and product, supported by the power of our world-wide omni-distribution strategy, drove our operating results. North America was a major highlight with outstanding growth in our Tempur-Pedic products and a solid performance by Sealy and Stearns & Foster products.  While we recently introduced the most innovative product suite in our company’s history, we will be in market testing new revolutionary products that we expect will extend our leadership position. This aligns to our initiative to provide the most innovative bedding solutions in the world. Additionally, we continue to make progress toward optimizing our omni-distribution model, as we expanded both in wholesale and direct channels. A highlight for the quarter was global direct to consumer which grew to a record $75 million in the quarter while expanding margin. This channel represented 11% of global revenues.”

North America net sales increased 12.2% to $544.0 million as compared to $485.0 million in the first quarter of 2018.

North America net sales through the wholesale channel increased $47.8 million, or 10.5%, to $501.8 million as compared to the first quarter of 2018. North America net sales through the direct channel increased $11.2 million, or 36.1%, to $42.2 million, as compared to the first quarter of 2018, driven primarily by growth from expanded retail stores.

North America gross margin declined 30 basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2018. The decline was primarily driven by commodity cost inflation, increased floor model expenses and unfavorable merchandising mix. These were partially offset by brand mix and favorable pricing. North America operating margin improved 70 basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2018. The improvement in operating margin was driven by operating expense leverage, which was partially offset by the decline in gross margin.

International net sales decreased 3.6% to $146.9 million as compared to $152.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. On a constant currency basis(2), International net sales increased 3.0% as compared to the first quarter of 2018. GAAP gross margin was 52.7% as compared to 53.0% in the first quarter of 2018.

The decline was partially offset by operational improvements. International adjusted operating margin(2) declined 140 basis points as compared to operating margin in the first quarter of 2018. The decline was driven by operating expense deleverage, unfavorable performance in the Asia-Pacific joint venture and the decline in gross margin.

Corporate operating expense increased to $29.0 million as compared to $27.0 million in the first quarter of 2018. Corporate adjusted operating expense (2) decreased to $26.0 million as compared to corporate operating expense of $27.0 million in the first quarter of 2018.
