Mattress Firm Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: MFRM - News) today announced its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter (13 weeks) and fiscal year (52 weeks) ended January 31, 2012.
Fourth Quarter Highlights
Gross profit increased 61.2% to $75.9 million
Adjusted EBITDA increased 56.3% to $25.5 million
Opened 41 stores
Completed acquisition of 55 specialty mattress stores from Mattress Giant
“We completed fiscal year 2011 with great momentum, producing our highest quarterly sales and comparable-store sales growth in the fourth quarter and accentuating the strong financial results experienced throughout the year,” stated Steve Stagner, Mattress Firm’s chief executive officer. “Our results for the year, driven by solid comparable-store sales growth that has continued for the past two years, reflect the strength and expanding appeal of our brand, customer loyalty, and benefits we derive from selling the leading brands in the bedding industry. In addition, we are encouraged by the consistent sales increases reported by the bedding industry as we believe pent-up consumer demand and product innovations are driving customers into the market.”
Fiscal Fourth Quarter Results
Net income was $17.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, including a $3.8 million pre-tax loss on early extinguishment of debt in connection with the initial public offering in November 2011 and an after-tax deferred tax benefit of $14.2 million resulting from the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) were $0.56 in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 as compared with EPS of $(0.07) in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Net sales increased $61.1 million or 47.9% to $188.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 from $127.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010. The increase in net sales was the result of comparable-store sales growth of 24.8%, adding $30.6 million in net sales, and incremental net sales of $32.0 million from the opening of new stores and acquired stores prior to their inclusion in comparable-stores sales results, with such increases offset by a reduction in net sales of $1.5 million related to closed stores.
The Company opened 41 new stores and added 55 stores acquired from Mattress Giant Corporation (“Mattress Giant”) in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, while closing seven stores, bringing the total Company-operated stores to 729 as of January 31, 2012.
Gross profit increased 61.2% to $75.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 at a gross profit margin of 40.2% as compared to a 36.9% gross profit margin for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The 330 basis improvement in gross profit margin was primarily as a result of increasing leverage over occupancy and operating costs due to improving sales per store.
Income from operations increased 177.7% to $15.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, compared to the same period of the prior year. As a percentage of sales, income from operations improved 380 basis points to 8.1% from 4.3%. The improvement over the prior year resulted primarily from the improvement in gross profit and reduction of loss on store closings and impairment of store assets, which was offset slightly by expected increases in sales and marketing expense.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other adjustments (“Adjusted EBITDA”) increased 56.3% to $25.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, compared to $16.3 million in the same period of fiscal year 2010. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales improved 73 basis points to 13.5% from 12.8%. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.
Full Fiscal Year Results
Net income was $34.4 million for fiscal year 2011, including a $5.7 million pre-tax loss on early extinguishment of debt retired in advance of, and in connection with, the completion of the initial public offering in November 2011 (including $3.8 million in the fourth quarter) and an after-tax deferred tax benefit of $20.1 million resulting from the release of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets during fiscal year 2011 (including $14.2 million in the fourth quarter). EPS was $1.40 in fiscal year 2011 as compared with EPS of $0.02 in fiscal year 2010.
Net sales increased $209.8 million or 42.5% to $703.9 million in fiscal year 2011 from $494.1 million in fiscal year 2010 (52 weeks ended February 1, 2011). The increase in net sales was the result of comparable-store sales growth of 20.5%, adding $99.0 million in net sales, and incremental net sales of $116.4 million from the opening of new stores and acquired stores prior to their inclusion in comparable-stores sales results, with such increases offset by a reduction in net sales of $5.6 million related to closed stores.
During fiscal year 2011, the Company opened 106 new stores and added 55 stores acquired from Mattress Giant in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, while closing 24 stores.
Income from operations increased 87.8% to $60.5 million, compared to the same period of the prior year. As a percentage of sales, income from operations improved 207 basis points to 8.6% from 6.5%. The improvement over the prior year resulted primarily from the improvement in gross profit, which was offset slightly by expected increases in sales and marketing expense.
Pro forma net income and pro forma EPS for fiscal year 2011, as adjusted to give effect to the initial public offering that was completed in November 2011, including the application of the net proceeds therefrom and the conversion of certain portions of outstanding debt into shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the completion of the offering, was $51.6 million and $1.53, respectively. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations” for more information. The pro forma results include the after-tax deferred tax benefit of $20.1 million described above.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 53.2% to $87.5 million for fiscal year 2011, compared to $57.1 for fiscal year 2010. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales improved 87 basis points to 12.4% from 11.6%. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income.
The Company generated $81.7 million of operating cash flow during fiscal year 2011 as compared with $42.4 million during fiscal year 2010.
Pending Acquisition of Mattress Giant
The Company today announced the signing of a purchase agreement for all of the equity interests of Mattress Giant for approximately $47 million in cash, subject to customary purchase-price and certain other adjustments. The Company expects that the transaction, which remains subject to customary closing conditions, will be completed during its fiscal second quarter ending July 31, 2012. The Company expects to fund the purchase price from cash reserves.
In a separate transaction described under “Fiscal Fourth Quarter Results” above, the Company acquired 55 stores from Mattress Giant in the Atlanta, St. Louis and Minneapolis markets in November 2011, and has substantially completed the integration of those stores. Upon closing of the pending acquisition, the Company expects to operate approximately 180 additional Mattress Giant specialty retail stores in Texas and Florida, which represent the two largest states in which Mattress Firm currently operates. The stores are located in seven metropolitan markets including Miami, Naples/Ft. Myers, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville in Florida and Houston and Dallas in Texas, all representing markets where Mattress Firm currently operates a total of 240 stores.
The acquisition is expected to advance the Company’s market-level profitability model that is centered on the benefits of increasing its “relative market share” in a given market. Currently, the Mattress Giant stores are generating sales per store that, on average, are approximately 75% of Mattress Firm’s average. The Company believes that the incremental sales and store-level contribution attributable to the acquired stores, once rebranded as Mattress Firm stores, will support the Company’s ability to increase the advertising spend in each of the markets, which is expected to drive sales increases in both the acquired and existing Mattress Firm stores. This strategy is expected to provide sales increases, greater leverage over market-level costs and improved market-level profitability.
The Company expects to rebrand substantially all of the Mattress Giant stores as Mattress Firm at an average cost of approximately $80,000 to $85,000 per store in a two-step process (including cost of Mattress Firm floor samples). Initially after transaction closing:
all stores will be merchandised with Mattress Firm’s product offerings and its unique “Comfort by Color®” merchandising approach;
Mattress Giant employees will be trained and educated in Mattress Firm’s selling programs; and,
Mattress Firm’s point of sale systems will be implemented and temporary Mattress Firm signage will be installed.
The Company expects that the initial rebranding will allow the acquired stores to benefit from the significant advertising investment and Mattress Firm brand presence in these markets throughout the upcoming 2012 peak summer selling season. After Labor Day, permanent signing as well as renovations required to bring all the stores, except those that will close, up to Mattress Firm’s standards will be undertaken and are expected to be substantially complete by the start of fiscal year 2013.
“We are extremely excited about the pending acquisition of Mattress Giant and the further advancement of our relative market share in several of our largest markets,” commented Steve Stagner. “We have a consistent track record of supplementing our organic growth with opportunistic acquisitions. By acquiring these stores, which historically have represented the best performing locations in Mattress Giant’s system, we immediately strengthen our ability to capture additional sales and better serve the consumer. We expect that through the implementation of Mattress Firm’s operating and marketing model these stores will meaningfully contribute to our long-term creation of shareholder value.”
Financial Guidance
The Company is issuing guidance for net sales and EPS for the fiscal year (52 weeks) ending January 29, 2013 (“fiscal year 2012”). Such guidance includes the expected closing of the Mattress Giant acquisition during the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 (and prior to the upcoming Memorial Day weekend). Net sales are expected to be in the range from $1.03 billion to $1.06 billion based on opening approximately 100 new stores and comparable-store sales growth of 10.0% to 12.0%. Such net sales guidance includes the addition of stores to be acquired from Mattress Giant, which are expected to generate fiscal year 2012 sales in the range of $90 million to $95 million. The Company currently expects EPS for fiscal year 2012 in the range of $1.40 to $1.48 per diluted share. Such EPS guidance for fiscal 2012 includes estimated nonrecurring direct transaction and integration costs of the pending Mattress Giant acquisition that are estimated to have a total per diluted share effect of $0.17 to $0.19, consisting of $0.11 to $0.13 in the second quarter, $0.04 to $0.05 in the third quarter and $0.02 in the fourth quarter. The Company expects that the Mattress Giant acquisition will be accretive to EPS for the fiscal year (52 weeks) ending January 28, 2014 (“fiscal year 2013”) by $0.25 to $0.35 per dilutive share as a result of expected increases in sales volumes of the rebranded Mattress Giant stores as they achieve closer parity with existing Mattress Firm stores.
In connection with the acquisition of Mattress Giant, Barclays is acting as financial advisor to Mattress Firm.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release, such as those relating to our net sales and EPS for fiscal year 2012 and the net sales and EPS effect for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 of the expected completion of our acquisition of Mattress Giant and the integration of Mattress Giant operations into ours, are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to downturns in the economy and a reduction in discretionary spending by consumers; our ability to profitably open and operate new stores; our relationship with our primary mattress suppliers; our dependence on a few key employees; the possible impairment of our goodwill or other acquired intangible assets; the effect of our planned growth and the integration of our acquisitions on our business infrastructure; the impact of seasonality on our financial results and comparable-store sales; our ability to raise adequate capital to support our expansion strategy; our success in pursuing and completing strategic acquisitions; the effectiveness and efficiency of our advertising expenditures; our success in keeping warranty claims and comfort exchange return rates within acceptable levels; our ability to deliver our products in a timely manner; our status as a holding company with no business operations; our ability to anticipate consumer trends; risks related to our controlling stockholder, J.W. Childs Associates, L.P.; heightened competition; changes in applicable regulations; risks related to our franchises, including our lack of control over their operation and our liabilities if they default on note or lease obligations; risks related to our stock and other factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 18, 2011 and our other SEC filings. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and reflect management’s expectations or beliefs concerning future events as of the date of this press release. Actual results of operations may differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statements, and the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this press release should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans or objectives will be achieved.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before income tax expense, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), without giving effect to non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, gains or losses on store closings and impairment of store assets, gains or losses related to the early extinguishment of debt, financial sponsor fees and expenses, non-cash charges related to stock based awards and other items that are excluded by management in reviewing the results of operations. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that the exclusion of these items is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our ongoing operating performance excluding certain non-cash and other items and to provide additional information with respect to our ability to comply with various covenants in documents governing our indebtedness and as a means to evaluate our period-to-period results. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. We have provided this information to analysts, investors and other third parties to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of our ongoing operations. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to determine executive incentive compensation payment levels. In addition, our compliance with certain covenants under the credit agreement between our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Mattress Holding Corp., certain lenders, and UBS Securities LLC, as sole arranger and bookrunner and a lender, are calculated based on similar measures, which differ from Adjusted EBITDA primarily by the inclusion of pro forma results for acquired businesses in those similar measures. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has significant limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.
